Further information from the reporter regarding event, product, or patient details has been requested.No additional information is available at this time.The events of a "decent sized nodule that started in the nasolabial folds on the left side of the face and migrated into the whole side of the cheek" and induration are physiological complications and analysis of the device generally does not assist allergan in determining a probable cause for these events.A review of the device history record has been initiated.If any new, changed or corrected information is noted, a supplemental medwatch will be submitted.Device labeling: precautions: patients may experience late onset nodules with use ofdermal fillers, including juvéderm voluma® xc.Refer to adverse events section for details.Adverse events: device/injection-related adverse events occurring in = 1% of subjects included injection site hypertrophy (0.7%), nodule (0.7%), inflammation (0.4%), injection site anesthesia (0.4%), injection site dryness (0.4%), injection site erosion (0.4%), mass (0.4%), contusion (0.4%) and syncope (0.4%).Treatment site responses reported by = 5% of subjects included ache, acne, bulge, bumps, cheek larger upon waking up, dry patch, fine wrinkles, injection/needle marks, numbness, pigmentation from treatment, puffiness, rash, scratch near injection point, soreness, tightness, and yellowness.Two subjects (0.7%; 2/270) reported 3 serious adverse events (saes) that were considered to be related to the device.Approximately 6 months after treatment, after being scratched near the treated area by a tree branch, one subject experienced inflammation under the left eye.The subject also experienced nodularity in the right cheek approximately 7 months after treatment.The second subject experienced lumps in the cheeks approximately 7 months after treatment.A couple of days before the onset, the subject experienced myofascial pain and body aches.Treatment of the saes included topical steroids, oral antibiotics, intralesional steroids, anti-inflammatory medication, and hyaluronidase.All events resolved.Among the 167 subjects who received repeat treatment, 8.4% (14/167) experienced a device/injection-related aes following treatment.All aes after repeat treatment occurred within 1 month of repeat treatment.The rate of device/injection-related aes was lower after repeat treatment compared to initial/touch-up treatment.The most common aes were injection site mass and induration (table 6).Instructions for use: the injection technique for juvéderm voluma® xc with regard to the angle and orientation of the bevel, the depth (subcutaneous and/or submuscular/supraperiosteal) of injection, and the quantity administered may vary depending on the area being treated.Injection of juvéderm voluma® xc too superficially (intradermally), or in large volumes over a small area, may result in visible and persistent lumps and/or discoloration.Juvéderm voluma® xc should be distributed in small aliquots (small boluses of 0.1 ml to 0.2 ml) over a large area to reduce the risk of persistent lumpiness.
