I'm 28, male, and having filler for 1st time. I've had 2 consultations so far: - One Dr recommends 1ml of Juvederm split around my cheeks/nasolabial folds - Another Dr recommends 3ml of Restylane (1ml to outer-cheek area, 1ml to front-cheek area, and 1ml to naso folds) + 1ml to the tear trough area (so 4ml total) How much filler's normally used? I want good results (a lifted chiseled look) but want it looking completely natural. Is 1ml too low? Or 4ml too high? What is considered too high?
