I had a large amount of Voluma injected in my cheekbones 7months ago & hated the result,the doctor promised to give me a model look and instead i looked horrible.I tried to stay with it but i couldnt so i had hyaluronidase 2 weeks ago to dissolve,now my skin appears sagging and lost all elasticity which makes me look chubby whearas i had a slim face before,Im doing some facial exercise to firm up the skin as i cant stand my appearance now.What should i do?Radiofrequency?Laser?Cheeklift?thank you
Answer: Not all of the Voluma is dissolved Hi AF.06,Your face looks puffy/chubby, than it is saggy. It is hard to dissolve all of the filler in a single session. If you have had many syringes it will likely take multiple sessions to wash out most of the Voluma.Don't compound the problem with additional treatments when you may not have fully reversed the Voluma treatment. The benefit of using a hyaluronic acid filler is that it can be dissolved. Since you are young, your skin should be quite elastic and snap back similar to a young person who was overweight and got into great shape. Best,Dr. YangP.S.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Dissolving Voluma The skin on your face doesn't look saggy. It looks puffy which could be because it takes more than one session to dissolve the Voluma. I would advise you not to have anything else done until you've finished healing from the hyaluronidase. Kindly,Kouros Azar

Answer: Sagging and loose skin after Voluma and Hyaluronidase. What's my best option? Thank you for sharing your questions and Voluma experience. I would recommend allowing your face to fully heal after dissolving the Voluma as you likely have some swelling and water retention taking place. At a month after treatment reevaluate your cheek and skin quality to see if your results improve. If you continue to have the sagging present, better placement of a dermal filler would likely help improve your results. Seek a second opinion by a board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Answer: Sagging Skin and Voluma You probably still have some Voluma left in your face and I would definitely recommend a skin tightening procedure like Thermage to help with the skin sagging. Please consult a specialist for the correct placement of Voluma and your injectables as well. Best, Dr. Green
