It seems like the volume in my cheeks increased right after the procedure, but after about 2 weeks, it looks like it has decreased again. Is this normal?

This is a process that can occur depending on the individual. The volume felt immediately after the procedure is often a temporary change due to the injected diluted solution, and this fluid is gradually absorbed by the body. After that, collagen is produced in response to the PLLA particles, and this change appears over weeks to months. Therefore, it is better to monitor the progress rather than judge the results at the 2-week mark. However, the timing and degree of perception can vary from person to person, so if there are concerning changes, it is advisable to consult at the clinic.
