Flair-ups of swelling, hardening & soreness months after injection?

Sarahcat789Apr 22, 2022
Hello, I have been having episodes in which i wake up and parts of my chin and jaw area have swollen, hardened and are sore. I had juvederm - i think it was Voluma - injected over 6 months ago. It started a couple months ago when I was on vacation overseas. Since then the flair ups have been happening more frequently, and for seemingly no apparent reason, ie. No sickness. They usually only last a day. Is this troubling? Any explanations or recommendations? I would appreciate some insight.

Hi, thank you for your question! I would recommend waiting for weeks after sculptra to have voluma injected into the temples. I would recommend following up with your certified injector to evaluate if it is needed after sculptra.

Hi, I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Yes, cheek filler — especially Voluma — can absolutely improve the appearance of the under-eye area and is often the preferred approach for many patients. As we age, the fat pads in the midface naturally desce...
