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

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 

There is often a significant amount of swelling after filler injections. I suspect you liked the results more when you were swollen. Adding additional filler should help you achieve the look you want. Cheeks tend to require a lot of filler volume - see your doctor to see if additional filler might help.
