voluma injected into cheek, botox 2 weeks later, has left crescent mark and indentation. Feeling sick with anxiety, please advise.It was meant to lift and fill and I look so much worse.There was no mark or dipping beforehand. Will it revert in time after filler and Botox. There are scary stories on here, and I don,t want to dissolve because of risks of fat loss

Answer: Indentation after filler and Botox injection. Thank you for your question and photo. I am sorry you are experiencing this sub optimal result. The good news is Botox and Voluma are totally reversible with time. The Voluma could be dissolved with injection of hyaluronidase however I would encourage you to see your injector as they would certainly be interested in helping you through this issue. From your picture I can't totally tell if this is present at rest or during animation. The solution might be more time, injection of hyaluronidase, or injection of the more superficial filler in the area of depression. Seeing your injector will give them the opportunity to discuss your options. If you're not happy with their explanation seeking another in person opinion with a board-certified physician would be a good option. Best Dr. L

Answer: Relax There are a great many excellent doctors in the UK you can see you and solve this. If the crease only appeared after Botox it will disappear by itself. If Voluma is causing it, removing the substance with hyaluronidase is not something you should fear. It does not, can not dissolve your own fat. If you are too afraid to dissolve, strengthening the skin by superficial injections can reduce the fold.
