How Many ml of Dermal Filler is Normally Used for the Face?

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?

Fillers for the face

The amount of filler used is variable, It really depends upon how you look and what you want to achieve. I have used as little as a 1/2 syringe for some people and up to 5 in others during any single visit.
