If I have experienced side effects after Voluma should I avoid all types of filler?

Hello jostone, thank you for sharing your concern.  Juvaderm, voluma, belotero, restylane etc. all belong to the same class of dermal fillers that is made up of hyaluronic acid.  Their side effect profile should be similar.  Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that can be found in our connective tissues.  Although it is possible, I think it is highly unlikely that the voluma injection caused all those systemic symptoms that you experienced.  You may have come down with a viral illness at around the same time as your filler injection.  Best wishes. 

Voulma itself should not cause these symptoms. I suggest you get an internal evaluation by your general physician.  Best, Dr. Emer.

My guess is that you have come down with some sort of virus. Voluma should not cause these symptoms. It sounds like a case of bad timing. So sorry and hope you feel better soon.Kindly,Kouros Azar

It sounds like you are coming down with the flu, and it is flu season.Voluma has been extensively tested and used for many years in Europe and South America before coming to the USA over 2 years ago.  Symptoms of tired aching legs and a thick head are not associated with any hyaluronic acid filler.  You even described the symptoms as beginning a week after you were injected, instead of immediately after.If you are convinced they are connected somehow, you should speak to your injector about it, as all the hyaluronic acid fillers are easily reversible.  Belotero, Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Voluma are all hyaluronic acid fillers.In my opinion, take care of yourself, recover from the viral syndrome you are experiencing and if you are happy with the cosmetic results so far, continue on with doing more fillers.  They are safe.

There are a lot of illnesses going around Northern California this spring. Juvederm Voluma is a natural product (hyaluronic acid) and it most likely would not cause a systemic illness.
