I just received Voluma in my cheeks. How long do I have to wait before exercising?
Answer: Wait 24 Hours Before Exercising After Voluma Voluma is composed of hyaluronic acid, which is found naturally in our skin as a moisturizer. Therefore, it is biocompatible, easily tolerated, and has no real side effects or reactions. However, you may experience some bruising, soreness or redness from the injections. I'd recommend letting your body rest and recover for at least 48 hours before engaging in vigorous exercise as the increased blood flow could make you bruise more. I would also recommend avoiding heat, such as hot yoga, saunas and steam rooms for about 48 hours, just as a precaution. We also recommend avoiding dental appointments for one month after Voluma to minimize the rare risk of a biofilm (a bacterial infection), which is thought to be a rare side effect following Voluma and dental work. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to have your face sculpted and rejuvenated with Voluma.

Answer: Voluma Cheek Augmentation -- When To Exercise? I let my patients exercise after 24 hours but there really is no restriction. Swelling and bruising (needle injection) can get worse if you increase blood pressure too soon. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Voluma Hello, Thank you for your question. You should avoid exercise for 24hours. If you feel you are swollen or bruised after 24hours you may want to wait a bit longer, until those side effects subside, as working out can make them worse. Good luck!

Answer: Voluma Thank you for your question. The answer to this question is ultimately the jurisdiction of your surgeon, and should be detailed in the post op care instructions. Side effects of voluma will fade within 2 to 4 weeks allowing the patient to completely return to all activities. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,
