Is Voluma difficult to dissolve?

Question

Last year in April I had 2 syringes of Voluma injected into my jaw & chin. I went in to have it dissolved, but it's still there. Is Voluma just difficult to dissolve? Is there any chance that my body just built up collagen in my chin and there's no filler left to dissolve? And last, would it make sense to go in for an appointment again to have her try and dissolve the rest of the filler left, or how long would it take my body to break it down on its own? I really just want it gone.

Hi @roseare. You may require more than 1 session of Hyaluronidase for all the filler to dissolve.

Best of luck,

Whether it's Juvederm Voluma, Vellore, Volbella or Ultra they can all be reversed with hyaluronidaze. Same goes for Restylane Lyft, Defyne, Refyne and Kyss as well as Prollenium Versa. Fillers like Radiesse and Sculptra are different and are harder to reverse. Hope that helps.

Voluma is just as easy to dissolve with hyaluronidase as any other hyaluronic acid based filler. If you were treated initially by a plastic surgeon, they should know exactly what to do if there is an unwanted result. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery

Hello and thanks for your question. All Hyaluronic filler break down more or less the same- however it is worth noting that you may need more than one session of Hyalase to dissolve all of the filler. Best wishes
