I am looking to get face volume restored with fillers, as it became quite hollow over past year. Especially temples, but I have no wrinkles. I was expecting to get max 4 syringes to my whole face, but at consultation I was told I would need 7-8 syringes. I'm 28 and I'm attractive overall. I am trying to figure out if I really need that much? In fairness, I have acne scarring but was told the scarring won't be treated with fillers. Is it unnecessary upselling?
Answer: Voluma An in person consultation is really the best way to determine a person's needs based on goals and physical evaluation. A "rough" rule of thumb is one syringe for every 10 years of age. That would place you on average between 2-3 syringes. One of the great things about fillers is that you can start slowly and build up to the volume you are wanting to achieve.

Answer: Filler amount neccesary Hello, my name is Ranen and I work at Shah Aesthetics. Thank you for your question, it is a popular question. I think a good consultation is necessary to do and really get to understand what the patient is concerned with and understand what the patient want as their end result. I think it is a personal preference as to how much filler is needed. I would start off with 1 maybe 2 syringes and work from there.

Answer: Filler consult Thanks for your question! It is impossible to say how many syringes you will need without photos or examining you. I would try pouring 1 mL of hand sanitizer in your hand to see how much 1 syringe actually is. Cheeks usually take 4 syringes, 2 syringes for laugh lines and 2 more for jaw line which equals 8.... Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: How many Voluma syringes Hello, and thank you for your question. Full facial harmonization/balancing requires several syringes. Each syringe is 1 ml, which is approximately 1/5th of a teaspoon. Realistically, 1/5 of a teaspoon can only be placed in so many areas to achieve results. 7-8 syringes may be an appropriate amount, but hard to determine without pictures or seeing you as a patient. You could always start with a smaller amount of filler and add more later if need be. I would suggest consulting with another practitioner to see if they have a different suggestion for you.

Answer: Fillers I would suggest starting with a smaller volume and see how you do. You can always come back for more filler. At 28, you really have not lost volume of muscle or bone. If you have AIDS, then you can become more hollow.

Answer: Cheeks -- Fat; Fillers like Radiesse, Juvederm Voluma/Vollure, Restylane Defyne/Lyft, Bellafill, Sculptra; Cheek Implants Facial sculpting and contouring of the face can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Contour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
