Another vial of what
Not sure what vial your are speaking about. I don't know of any filler here in the US that lats 14 months except Artefil.

Added volume to cheeks
I am not completely sure due to the question which filler you are specifying. Most fillers come in predrawn syringes except for Sculptra. If you are looking for more fullness then you can always add more filler however most of these dissipate over time. I prefer doing a fat transfer to the cheek area, a percentage of the fat grafting takes adding a natural fullness the results are very satisfying to the patient and surgeon alike. I hope this is helpful to you if you have further questions...

Adding More Filler 14 Months after Cheek Augmentation
Regardless of when you had filler injections to augment the cheeks, add more when and if you need or want more fullness.

Fine Tuning of Sculptra over the Years
Your referring to your filler as a "vial" suggests to me you are referring to Sculptra. Sculptra is not a filler but a stimulator of your own collagen which then acts to create volume in a gradual, progressive, and predictable manner. Little to no results are usually seen after the first treatment. I usually recommend a minimum of three treatments, each one month apart. After your treatment series, the final result takes many months to appear but should last for years...

Added Volume
You need to be more specific in your question. You do not state what product you are talking about. Different fillers last varying amounts of time, so there is no way to answer your question. If you have loss of volume, then get the extra "vial." However, if everything looks okay, then it may be better to wait.
Good Luck.
