I have found that fillers like Artefill will create about 5 mL of volume with only 1cc injected (after months). Radiesse also seems to create more volume than the actual substance injected. Due to bad experiences with these particulate fillers, I am only looking into HA fillers now. But, I am concerned that I'll need 10+ ccs, unless they somehow attract water and expand more (otherwise the cost is too high). How much volume does 1 cc Juvederm Voluma (or Ultra Plus) provide after injection?
