After getting Voluma injected into my cheeks, followed by Botox two weeks later, I have a crescent mark and indentation that is causing me a lot of anxiety. The treatment was supposed to lift and fill, but I feel like my appearance has worsened. There was no mark or dipping before the procedure. Will the area revert back to its normal state over time after the filler and Botox wear off? I've read some concerning stories online, and I'm hesitant to dissolve the filler due to the risks of fat loss.
Hi, thank you for your question! If it has been at least 2 weeks since your last treatment, it would be best to follow up with your doctor. The indentation can be easily corrected with additional filler injections and/or removal or adjustment of some of the filler using enzyme injections. It is not uncommon for patients to require further revisions following filler injections. I hope this information helps, and good luck!
Additional filler could be a solution to address the indentation you're noticing, helping you achieve the look you desire.
Indentation after cheek augmentation and accentuation with Botox can occur but is not permanent. It can be improved by injecting filler into the area. Consultation with an experienced dermatologist is recommended.
When a filler is placed in the cheeks, it can sometimes create the appearance of a deficit or dent in the adjacent area. This can usually be addressed by adding more filler to fill the deficit. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved and re-injected if necessary.
