I had 2 syringes of Restylane in my cheeks several weeks ago. It looked great, now I only see a small improvement. Why?

There is always swelling after injections which can last 1-2 weeks. This is most likely your final results after the swelling has diminished. You can have a touch up with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) or Sculptra.  Implants or fat would be a permanent alternative. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Did your injector photograph you. Without photographs it can be hard for some to understand the effect of the service. Don't get treatment from injectors who do not take photographs-this is below the standard of care.

The good thing about fillers is they are temporary and the results are typically modest. That is also the bad thing about fillers. This means you will see a change but it will be small. (2 syringes) 2ml is a relatively small volume for the cheeks so it is hard to appreciate the change. This can be good, as I like a subtle transition compared to some of the drastic ones out there. The swelling post procedure always exaggerates the results so that is what you were seeing and what you liked.   You need more volume. You have two options. 1 get more filler vs 2 consider fat transfer as the volume is much less limited, it is your own tissue and a portion will be permanent. Hope this helps.DrC
