I'm 2.5 weeks post-op chin implant and platysmaplasty. 6 months ago got 1/2 syringe of Voluma in each cheek along the cheekbone. My daughter says I look like Maleficent. Should I add more Voluma to the cheeks to round them out? I feel like my face has a melty appearance with weird contours, almost like the outline of my cheeks is an hourglass.

In my experience, these implants are very difficult to modify especially if they are modified in place without removal. The easiest approach is to remove the implants, modify them and then replace them. This would likely be just as invasive or more so than your initial procedure.
