DEFORMED and DISAPPOINTED voluma, Berkley, MI

I can totally relate and look worse than you do, even though that is no consulation. I have had an infection for 8 weeks, had 6 injections to dissolve it with no success and now will have to surgically remove it. It has been a nightmare and it is all I think about. I think there should be a class action suit against the companies because they should have specialized training when it comes to the tear trough area. They make it seem that all you have to do is dissolve it if there is a problem and everything is fine. That is not always the case, I am a prime example. I also went to a board certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills and he didn't know what to do and didn't listen to me when I kept saying something is wrong, then said I should find someone who has experience with complications. No doctor should inject this if they don't know how to treat adverse reactions. Voluma is more difficult to dissolve because of the way it is cross linked. I had Restylane and Voluma and don't know which one caused the infection.

Voluma is way too thick to be placed under the eyes and much harder to dissolve. Its not approved for that use - in fact no filler is - but these doctors should be careful with the products they are using and how they are injecting. very sad this was the result. Im sure the bruising will fade but it may take more hyaluronidase to remove.

Might I add, you are an absolutely beautiful woman. This is a horrible experience, I do understand. I have faith u will find the roght solution but you are truly stunning. Hold on to that and keep going. YOU will find a solution. I know it. Determination will get you everywhere. I can tell your energy & determination jump OFF the page. Try to embrace how beautiful you are. Even with make on, not everyone is. You will find your answer. Stay hopeful & when you feel you are with the right doctor, to understand has compassion for your experience you will know from the deepest part of your soul. DONT SETTLE DONT GIVE UP. YOU ARE STILL A TRUE BEAUTY!!

Having had a similar result I think I can tell from your pictures what went wrong. The doctor injected too close to your nose. Voluma is only intended to be used on the outer cheek bones. The fullness which begins next your nose is what is causing the dark circles to appear worse. I had several IPL treatments to get rid of Perlane which was wrongly injected into the same area with the same result. I have had problems with Vitrase in attempts to dissolve. under-eye fillers in the past having horrific results. IPL heat works to help dissolve filler although it will swell immediately after the IPL treatment; it takes a few, concentrated treatments to bring it down but it does work.

There is supposed to be an injectable to break down that filler. Sculptra which I had was horrible and there us nothing to break it down. Post to the docs on here and they can give u the name of the substance that can break it down. Hope u get improvement.

So true when filler is injected too close to nose is can actually make the face look older

All the comments are right. Fillers like that are not intended for under eye use, yet I had an M.D. do the same thing to me. Frustrating.

You are beautiful, before and after.

U definitely need proper care & something to reverse this.

What is the black guy?

Tell him to put in hylaurandaise to dissollve it. I voluma a didnt like it. Doctor injected desolver.

I know what I would do if I were you. I would demand my money back or he would correct what he messed up!! Money is so hard to come by and we try to look as pretty as we can. We save our money to get things done only to be messed up by the professional. This is inexcusable! Make it right Mr. Dr.!!
