Volux is the Worst Nightmare I’ve Ever Had

A little improvement

A week ago a maxillofacial surgeon gave me low dose steroid injections and the swelling went down a bit. My face, to tell the truth, is not back to the way it was before, but it is still a little better. The surgeon will give me another few low dose steroid injections next week. I hope I can see my old face again because I really miss it and I would give anything to go back and not repeat the same mistake. I should have accepted myself for who I was ... I was happy and I liked my appearance, I just wanted to improve it ... but I ruined everything and now I'm doing the impossible to fix everything.

Volux is the Worst Nightmare I’ve Ever Had

3 months ago I’ve been injected with the new vycross juvederm filler, volux, in my jawline and chin (first time). It has changed my face shape and now my face is square, larger and fatter than before. Plus I feel my lower face so heavy and swollen that I feel awkward when I talk. I’ve already had several rounds of hyaluronidase (with my original injector)...very little results...now I’m seeing another plastic surgeon to fix my issue...I want my face back. Stay away from this filler...it’s the densest and most robust of the vycross fillers, very hydrophilic, and very hard to dissolve (if you have a problem or if you don’t like the result).

Were you able to get the filler early or live outside the United States before it was fda approved? Can you post pictures please
I live in Europe, this filler ruined my life, I lost my self confidence…I’m sorry…I can’t post pictures (for privacy reasons)…I’m not ugly, but I miss my old face.
Thank you so much for posting this. I hope your face is back to normal. I will heed your warning.
Unfortunately my face isn’t back to normal yet, but I really hope I’ll get “my old face” back one day. Thank you for your reply.
I hope you do too. It will take time, but it will come back. Had a few bad injections and it was a nightmare. It honestly goes back to normal after a lot of time. I'm thankful you saved me from doing something bad again.
