Is a delayed immune response to Voluma possible? Swelling/hardness a year after injections. 36 female. (photos)

Asked By:CK882 in San Francisco, CA

In May 2017, I had Voluma injected in my chin (over an 8 y/o medpor implant) and my cheekbones. In October, and again in March, my chin/cheekbones got very swollen, hard and tender, but not "hot." This lasted a day. I woke up this morning, July 2018, to a swollen/hard chin and small area at the top of one cheekbone. I'm guessing the Voluma has disappeared from my other cheekbone. Could this be a delayed reaction? And since it's happened before and lasted only a day, should I not be concerned?
