How many syringes of Juvederm or Voluma will I need to fill out my cheekbones? (Photos)

Hi SVR,You will get your best estimate of how many syringes of Voluma will be needed to give you your aesthetic cheek enhancement goal after an in person consultation.  As you are relatively young, I would be conservative and begin with 1 to 2 cc of Voluma, more can always be added.  When it comes to facial volume, often times less is more!  You should see an excellent result with only 1 to 1.5 cc if injected properly in the proper place.  The most important aspect of your treatment is that you choose your injecting physician most carefully based on their skill, experience, knowledge, and natural artistic vision.  Good luck and be well.Dr. PEncino, CA

You can start with one syringe on each side and assess in 2 weeks to see if additional filler is needed. These fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra are good for cheek augmentation. Implants or fat are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for the photos.  It is always a good rule of thumb to start with less and then gradually build over time.  I suggest consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who can determine how many syringes of Voluma can help you reach your aesthetic goals. 

Thank you for your question! It is always best to be evaluated in person to see how much product is needed to meet goal.  Each syringe of Juvederm Voluma is 1 cc (1 ml) which represents 20% of a teaspoon to give you some perspective.  Often times, a lot can be done with 1-2 syringes in a younger patient, however, it is best to be seen to allow for your practitioner to assess for any volume deficits. Best of luck!

Great question and thanks for the photos. It is crucial for you to realize that you cannot actually change the skeletal anatomy you were born with -- and so the bones of your cheeks cannot be made like the "ideal" photo you included since you are not him! However, you seem to have nice features and certainly cheek augmentation could be performed. During a consult with an expert you could review what will help you best, and I would caution you against counting the "number of syringes" and focus more on what you wish to achieve.Importantly, more than an online forum, you need an in-person consultation with a board-certified, MD, with extensive experience in plastic surgery and facial rejuvenation. Avoid looking for "deals" and avoid nurses, non-doctors, or doctors without plastic surgical training -- they cannot help you but might sell you things you do not need. Facial shaping and sculpting is quite an artistic endeavor and you need a master to achieve the best results. Best of luck in your search. Many patients seek me out from great distances for my expertise, but you are also in Beverly Hills with many wonderful aesthetic surgeons near you.

The wonderful thing about fillers is that you can start slowly and build on your results.  Begin with one syringe per side and see what you think.  You can add further syringes until you get the look you want.  

Thank you for your photo. It can take several syringes of Voluma to achieve strong cheekbones however I feel that you can get great results by starting a single syringe on each side. The results are immediate so you can see how you look and decide if you want to add more at the same visit. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD

Your desired results could likely be achieved with 1 syringe per cheek. I usually recommend Juvederm Voluma or Restalyne Lyft. Both really achieve beautiful results.

I would start with 1 (1 mL) syringe of Restylane Lyft or Juvederm Voluma per side and then add more at followup appointments until you get the result you are looking for.
