Bad result from Voluma. If I leave it, will everything revert to how it was pre-filler?

Question

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.

Yes, your filler will dissolve leaving you like you were before. Voluma is constitute as a large particle that most people still had present up to two years so it will be a long term commitment. It will go down slowly though over time. Dissolving is rather easy and should be considered if you are distressed about it.

I would say it would be very likely that your appearance would revert back to how it looked before your Voluma treatment if you left it until it dissolved.  An exam or photos of you would be needed to determine if adding more Voluma would be beneficial to you or not.

Since it has been three months since your injections I would return to your treating physician for Vitrase to remove it.  Without photos I am unable to tell you what is wrong.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist who is an expert with facial injections for the best results.  Best, Dr. Green

If you are still unhappy 3 months after injections, you should seek an in person consultation with an expert injector to figure out what the options are.  Without pictures, I don't think I could give you a fair opinion.

Do you want to wait over a year for the Voluma to disappear?I would seek a consultation with an expert injector to determine what you need to feel better about yourself.I agree that without a photo, we are stabbing in the dark here.
