Had Voluma injected to mid cheeks. Now my cheeks look deformed when I smile. What are my options? (photos)

Asked By:preludecrs in Savannah, Georgia

I had one syringe of Voluma injected to my mid cheek area along with Restylane in my NLFs 4 weeks ago. The apples of my cheeks look grossly deformed when I smile now. Should I have it removed with HA? What should I do? Ive naturally had fuller cheeks when I smile but certainly not like this.
