Voluma was placed via canular in mid cheek 3 mths ago. It appears to have flattened, descended, I know it shouldn't move, but it isn't as supportive as it was,and yet I still have puffy eyes from this product being used in transitional area. Don't want to dissolve., Would you advise a review to possibly add more voluma to the cheek, or would this increase the lines under eye.If I leave it, will everything revert to how it was pre filler. It has been a very distressing experience. Thank you.

Hi Dodger Fan,If anything, injection of Voluma in the lateral cheek may block a salivary duct which would lead to decreased salivation and swelling of the involved salivary gland. I have never seen this occur in any of our patients. You should discuss your increased salivation with...
I suggest an evaluation, likely you'll want to have this reversed with hyaluronidase enzyme. But you should be evaluated for infection or chronic inflammation. Best, Dr. Emer.
What you are describing is not normal and I would definitely seek another opinion. Perhaps you have an infection that the antibiotic is not treating. Please consult a specialist. Best, Dr. Green
