I want to get Voluma in my midface to fill out hollowing. But I’ve also heard that overtime, your face can end up looking more bloated and unnatural if the filler that is used draws in water. Can that happen with Voluma?

Answer: Filler properties Hello and thank you for your question. We would always recommend a face to face consult however in this case yes all fillers made from hyaluronic acid will attract some water. This does not need to lead to an unnatural result - its very much how your injector treats the face and with what volumes which will impact the final result over time.

Answer: Hyaluronic acid Thank you for your question. Hyaluronic acid fillers, voluma being one, pull in water. This helps with the volumization effect, but this is also something the injector needs to be aware of, as there is risk of having an overfilled appearance if not taken into account. I usually tell patients that I aim for just the right amount, but if I have to hedge, I'd rather risk underfilling, as adding more is easier than dissolving excess. I hope this helps, and all the best to you.
