I received one syringe of Voluma in my cheekbones and a small amount in the lat tear trough. Now my left cheekbone is a lot larger, protrudes a lot more than my right cheekbone. it feels like there is more filler on the left. after the Voluma injections, the doctor took a small amount of Juvaderm XC Ultra for my lips and put some in my right cheekbone? he said the right side still needed more. he said my left cheek now looks bigger because my face is asymmetrical,it's higher than the right side.
Answer: My left cheekbone looks bigger than the right after voluma = very likely swelling #voluma #cheekbones #swelling Cheek augmentation with voluma is usually associated with post injection swelling that could last from few days to few weeks. Usually the swelling is ASYMMETRIC. Therefore, patients are concerned. In my practice, when a patient is concerned about asymmetry after voluma injections, I remind them that they swelling could take about 2 to 3 weeks to resolve. Once it is resolve, those "asymmetries" are usually resolved.

Answer: Results You didn't say when you had the injections. It is quite common for swelling to be asymmetrical and to last for up to 2 weeks so this may resolve in time. However, if it's been that long and you aren't happy then speak with your injector.

Answer: Voluma I am not sure how long ago you had the injections, but swelling is normal after Voluma injections. It can last an average of 2 weeks. I always tell my patients to wait 2 weeks then we can evaluate the results to see if more fillers are needed. Good luck!

Answer: Asymmetry Post Voluma? Thank you for your question and photos. It does appear that you do have some asymmetry. Without pre treatment photos its difficult to know whether or not you had some mild differences prior to treatment. Most patients do have asymmetry as this is normal but they are often mild and patients are not even aware. If present and noticed its best to discuss this prior to treatment. That said if all of your swelling has resolved and you are still asymmetric it is best you follow up with your doctor. At that point you will need to decide if you prefer the fuller side which has the simple solution of adding more to the right or if you feel the left is too full then you may want o remove product with Vitrase. Either way you should be able to improve your symmetry and get a great resultBest of LuckDrG

Answer: Asymmetry After Voluma Thank you for your question and for sharing your postprocedure photographs. Sorry that you are having some concerns about your postprocedure appearance. Please keep in mind that it will take 2 weeks to see your final appearance after Voluma injection due to the presence of normal postprocedure swelling and possibly bruising. Sometimes it can take longer for things to fully settle in. My best advice would be to give it a full 2 weeks to see your final result. At that point, if you continue to have any concerns, please see your injector for an in-person reevaluation to review your before and after photographs, to best address your concerns and to determine the best course of action. Best wishes!
