Hi! I recirved one syringe of Voluma to my cheeks and 15 units of Botox to my Glabella region. Injections were painless, didn't swell or anything. As I was checking out at the desk I started to feel faint and then suddenly passed out. Complete collapse, hit my head and all. The staff scattered to me and had me lay for awhile and drink some water. They said I was ghostly pale. After a bit I felt fine. I've felt fine since. A healthy 22 yr old. What caused this? Am I fine to get the procedures done again?
