I want my cheeks to be naturally enhanced with more volume, how much ml of dermal filler is needed of Juvaderm or Sub Q? (photo)

I'm a big proponent of starting off slow and adding more if necessary. I would ask if you can start with 1cc voluma in each cheek. You should see a difference but if it isn't enough, go back and see your injecting physician in 2 weeks for additional filler. Remember, it's always easy to add, not so easy to remove! Good luck!!

2 ml per side would not be an unreasonable amount to enhance your cheeks. However you may want to consider 1 ml per side to start with and reassess in 2-3 weeks with your injector to add more if desired. For cheek augmentation I would recommend using Juvederm Voluma.

Knowing how much Juvederm or any filler you need can often be difficult, particularly when assessing online! But, I will do my best. If you want a nice look in your cheek, the key is getting the right product placed in the right location. There are a number of kinds of Juvederm (which you may know). For the Cheeks, personally I find Voluma the best as it absorbs little water. Often, the absorption of water is what causes that "puffy" cheek look. Typically, if you had 1ml in total, i would suggest trying 2ml in total. Ask for something that is a bit longer lasting and  appropriate for the cheeks. James P.

Thanks for your question and photographs.  As you have already seen the results of a 1.5ml treatment in each cheek its likely you require more product to achieve your desired results.  I would suggest using 1ml of Juvaderm on each cheek to provide you with natural volume and a gentle lift.  Good luck.

Thanks for your question. Your Dr is probably right about 2 mls per cheek.I would recommend you do 1 ml per cheek and see if you like the look. If you feel it is inadequate, you can have another 1 ml per side 8 to 12 weeks after the first injection.Products to use would be Juvederm Voluma or Modelis ( these are HA fillers) the other filler is Radiesse.All the best

If you use Juvederm plus, Perlane, or Voluma, 2 syringes will be the minimum for most patients who want volume in their cheeks.  What I recommend to patients is , as you're being injected , I have them look with a hand held mirror as I am volumizing.  The cheeks don't swell as much as lips do during the procedure, so you get a better idea of how you will look over the next 6 months-12 months.  After 2 syringes are complete, you can decide to have a third or fourth syringe.  If you feel good about what you are seeing , you can always return in 7-10 days when bruising/swelling recide and have more injections, if needed.  Many offices have discounts for more than one syringe, good luck!.. 

I would start with 1 syringe of voluma into each cheek. This will lift and volumize your cheeks without causing "pillow face" look. When injected correctly it will provide a nice natural lift   Best of luck
