Can voluma move around post procedure?

Question

I had voluma injected 4 weeks ago. on my left cheek it feels like the products is not on the apples of my cheek anymore but my lower cheek towards my upper jaw. Is this possible?

Thank you for your question. While Voluma might move around slightly in the days following the injection, it can not move around weeks after the injection. I am curious as to your healing process throughout the recovery as you may be experiencing some of the side effects that should have been presented immediately following the injection. Please discuss with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

No, after injected Voluma will not "migrate" to another area on the face. It really shouldn't with proper placement.  Please consult with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.  Because of its thick gel consistency Voluma is unlikely to migrate to surrounding tissues and I would recommend seeing your injector for an in-person examination and discussion of your current results.

Although there may be a bit of movement immediately after your injection, Voluma isn't going to move weeks later. My best advice would be for you to make an appointment with the surgeon who did your injections to discuss. It sounds as if the filler may have been placed too low to achieve your desired result.Kindly,Kouros Azar

Voluma can move a little as it is a gel and can be altered some by muscular activity.  It can also be molded some by hand.  It is a thick gel so it does not migrate very well.
