I had voluma injections along the jaw line. After two weeks I am still lumpy and it is painful. I went back to the doctor who says it looks fine. I think it looks awful. He then gave me an estimate for a face lift. Should I wait a couple of weeks and then ask for an injection to desolve the voluma ?

Hi @judycatanzaro. I typically have patients wait 24 hours after fillers/botox prior to exercising unless there is significant bruising and swelling present. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
It is possible that when the cheeks were injected you got some swelling from the injections themselves. It is also possible that they injected product under the eye. I would give it two weeks and sleep on your back for a few nights.
