It would be helpful knowing how many days its been since having Juvederm injected. I suggest waiting till the swelling has healed to see your final result. If you're still unhappy, see your medical provider and ask about using hyaluronidase to dissolve this product.
I'm not sure how long ago you had the Juvederm Voluma placed in your cheeks, but it is possible to have some swelling for a few days after the procedure. If it's been more than a couple of weeks since you had it done, your options would be to just wait it out until the product starts going away by itself, or you could have an injection of hyaluronidase to dissolve some of it now.
Juvederm voluma is a terrific product for creating a lift of the skin and face, so a great place to inject it is the cheeks and cheek bones, depending on your face type. I'd be surprised if you got this result from an injection by a dermatologist, but regardless, if you're unhappy with it after waiting 2 weeks, then your physician can inject hyaluronidase into it to dissolve some or all of it safely. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.
Although this product is not indicated for the use in the United States, it is a hyaluronic acid filler that can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. There may also be some swelling from the injections, so it would be wise to wait a couple of weeks to see if you are happy with the results. Good luck
If you are unhappy with your Juvederm Voluma injections, wait 2 weeks and return to your physician for assessment. He may be able to adjust your treatment by dissolving some of the Voluma or adding more in different areas of your cheeks for a slimming effect.
When using fillers to shape and augment the face it's important to understand the ideal aesthetic shape that you, as the plastic and cosmetic surgeon, is attempting to create. This is often over looked with the consequence that the cheek shape is unattractive. You may want to leave the Voluma dissolve and then seek out another MD for your cheek augmentation with fillers.
Juvederm Voluma isn't approved for use in the U.S. yet. It will be most likely towards the end of this year. So I must assume you don't live in the U.S. Voluma is a larger molecule than Juvederm so it plumps much more and fills larger and deeper areas better. However, if you don't like it or you feel you are overfilled, it's still a hyaluronic acid filler, and it can be removed with hyaluronidase.
You could try a dermal filler such as Restylane or Belotero, "Very" carefully placed under the eyes via blunt cannula; or for a more permanent correction, you could consider fat grafting in that area. It would add volume and also help to cover the vascularity that gives the area the...
I recommend you visit a well experienced provider. It is very common to fill the nasolabial folds and corners of mouth/marionettes with Juvederm. Cheek volume loss can benefit from filler, too; my patients really have gotten great results with filling volume loss in the malar area. I like...
I would wait at least 2 weeks after filler injection before considering reinjection or dissolution with hyaluronidase. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
There are no clear double blind placebo controlled studies that guarantee sterility of fillers after they have been opened. The manufacturers discourage storage. This is what we do in my practice in Los Angles. After injection the old needle is removed and the sterile cap put back on the syringe...
Definitely looks like a bruise. It is very common to show up more the next day. If the color and sensation is normal in the surrounding area I would say you don't have anything to worry about. Follow up with your provider if you are still concerned.
There is not an oral preparation that has been studied in this regard. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
