Does voluma soften, or do I need more? It's visible under my skin in certain lights

I had 1 syringe of valuma split between cheeks. I also had 1 syringe of juvederm to smooth the parentheses on my face as well as a little under my eyes to help there. Everything went very well and today I am not swollen or in any pain so very happy. My only concern is that when the light and shadow hits me just right, I can see exactly where the valuma was placed on my cheek and where it isn't. I can't seem to capture it in a photo to show you. My question is does valuma soften or do I need more?

I tell people if you are doing a procedure and you have a good fat grafting surgeon who does gentle extraction using water and adds PRP, you should do the fat grafting and wait 6-12 weeks to do a touch up (if needed) with fillers like volumae, lyft, radiesse.  Always do sculptra as your...
