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?
