48hours later im starting to freak out ..im still swollen in my left side but i can still easily see she misplaced the product plus giving my left side much more volume..it looks deformed as it is placed over my cheekbone leaving an unatural gap to the temples ..i will wait another 24hours but then should i correct the right with more product? or dissolve only my left side and do it again? My doctor said it was because i had damaged tissue ..but i think it was her first time with voluma.

Answer: Swelling After Voluma Swelling after Voluma can be a result of the following factors -Deep bruise- Not all bruises are at the surface and this localized swelling can take weeks to dissipate -Injection technique- Injections of the product can create depositions which can create lumps if not properly transitioned. Since Voluma is not hydrophilic (does not tend to absorb water), Voluma tends to be a what you see is what you get type of filler. Consult your treating physician for the best course of action.

Answer: Swollen and Uneven After Voluma With the initial swelling post Voluma treatments, there can be lumps, bumps and asymmetry. Contact your injector to let them know what you are experiencing. Give it at least 2 weeks for things to settle down and even out. If at that time you are still unhappy with your results, let your injector know and they can determine if more product would be beneficial or if dissolving the product would be an option for you.

Answer: Swollen and uneven face after Voluma Usually the next day after injecting Voluma you can get an initial phase of swelling then it dissipates after couple days. Swelling can last longer especially if you have some blood underneath which will be absorbed. I massage my patients on the day of injection to smooth out any uneven areas only if I have to. I think it's just too early for you to evaluate whether the swelling is due to tissue trauma or the product itself. Your doctor will be the best person to judge. I think it's reasonable to wait another day or two, however, the swelling should not get worse.
