Dissolve Voluma or add more? (Photo)

Question

I had Voluma injected into my medial cheeks for tear trough hollowness/dark circles. The injector said I would need two vials, one for medial cheek volume and one for tear trough. I did not budget for two vials (was told prior I only need 1) so she just injected medial cheek only. It ended up making my hollowness more to pronounced. I told her a month later I didn’t like it and want it dissolved. She said I need more and will not dissolve what I have. Is this typical? What should I do?

It's difficult to tell from the limited photo but it appears that in order to smooth the transition from the under eye to the cheek area more filler is needed to the under eye.  Dissolving the filler is an option but will leave you with the look you had prior to treatment.  Voluma has an approximate longevity of two years.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Ultimately you are the only person that matters and if you wish to have the Voluma dissolved, your injector should do this for you.
