Thank you for your question. Voluma lasts up to 24 months - and sometimes even longer - so it is important not to overinject during the initial stages before you can see any improvement. I suggest that you move forward and consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon. You should heed the recommendation of your surgeon. Best wishes,
When you should touch up Voluma partly depends on your individual metabolism and partly on your desires. As long as you have waited a couple of weeks after receiving your Voluma injection and your swelling and bruising have subsided, it is perfectly acceptable to add more filler. In fact, many patients prefer to be conservative in the first session and add to the overall look in two or more sessions, rather than be unhappy with too much volume, which would then need to be dissolved. Consult in person with a board-certified dermatologist so you can come up with a plan that works for you
Thank you for your question. If you were my patient, I would have you return in two weeks once swelling has resolved to assess results, and if touch up is necessary, would do so at that time.
Juvederm lasts 6-12 months (voluma 12-24 months) in most people, with swelling lasting up to 2 weeks after treatment. I advise coming back after the initial two week period, but consult your injector for their own evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer
I don't think there is a set time limit for this and different injectors probably do different things. I like to wait at least 2 weeks for any swelling to resolve and the filler to settle in before adding more. Adjustments can be made on a case by case basis. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your question. You can add more Voluma immediately if needed, however my suggestion would be to wait two weeks before returning for a touch-up. This way any swelling you many have after the injection will be gone and the product will look its very best. Good luck to you.
Thank you for sharing your question. In most cases a touch-up can be performed 2-4 weeks after treatment once the swelling from the initial injections resolves and the filler material softens. Hope this helps.
Voluma can last up to 2 years; however, each person metabolizes the product at a different rate. Since bruising and swelling can occur immediately after filler injections, you should wait about 2 weeks before considering getting more Voluma. Always seek treatment from a qualified professional. Good luck!
I would suggest that you wait at least 2 weeks before adding any further Voluma. You want the initial swelling and any bruising to subside before re-assessing your results. Hope this helps.Kindly,Kouros Azar
I always tell my patients to wait two weeks after Voluma was injected to see the full effect and decide if more product is needed. You don't want to inject more product until the swelling is all gone. Best, Dr. Green
Thank you for your question. The injectables will take 2 weeks to take effect. Voluma is a great way to counteract the appearance of jowls by increasing volume in the cheeks. Kybella is a very effective injectable for removing the submental fat that creates the double chin as well. Best wishes,
Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most common type of filler used to plump lips, fill lines, and soften the signs of aging. The hyaluronic acid products vary in concentration and the type of cross linking. Imagine a rail road track, two parallel pieces of metal with many beams holding them in...
Within the first few hours after receiving a nonsurgical nose job with Voluma, the filler is malleable and can be reshaped. However, this is something that only a board-certified dermatologist should do. Molding of Juvederm Voluma of the nasal bridge is generally done immediately after placement...
Thank you for your question. Without an in-person exam or before pictures it is difficult to determine the cause. It appears you may just need more filler in the areas that appear “dented” to add more volume. I would return to your Board Certified injector for evaluation.
Most patients see much of the voluma having dissolved on its own by two years. some times there is a small percent lasting longer. Hyaluronidase enzyme can dissolve the filler quickly, although many patients need a few treatments, not one.
Hi @ lis3108! I'm sorry you are dealing with these complications. I recommend you dissolve the product with Hylenex. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!
