Is dissolving Vollure as difficult as Voluma?

Question

my dr did not listen to my goals and put vollure on my cheeks. i wanted it on a temple to even out asymmetry. i would like to dissolve it. once i had something similarwith voluma. very hard to dissolve. is vollure just as difficult as voluma to dissolve?

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Because Vollure is manufactured in similar fashion to Voluma it is more difficult to dissolve than say Juvederm Ultra.  It is a thinner gel than Voluma but may take serial hyaluronidase treatments to achieve full dissolution.  Hope this helps.

Hyaluronidase is designed to dissolve fillers made of hyaluronic acid. If you are not satisfied you can always have it dissolved. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

Thank you for your question. I believe it is more difficult or more sessions of Hyaluronidase is needed to completely dissolve vollure as it is a cross blend type of product just like Voluma. Just as a side point, I recommend to fill the temples or cheeks with thicker fillers than Vollure to really achieve fullness. Although Vollure is thicker than Vobella, it still does not provide the same plumping and lifting as Voluma, Restylane Lyft or Radiesse do for the cheeks and temples. 
Good luck, Melody

To dissolve Vollure one would probably need more enzyme/sessions that with dissolving Juvederm Ultra, but less than with Voluma.  This is a guess based on the face that Voluma/Vollure/Volbella are all part of Allergan's new blended filler technology, and therefore share many similar traits.  Other factors affecting the ease of dissolving a filler are: how much filler was injected, was it injected as boluses ("balls") or thread ("lines)", your previous reactions to Voluma, and the part of the face.  Be well!
