Cheek Filler - is it possible for me to have too much? Will it cause puffiness in the future?

Peaceful9125Aug 17, 2022
I've had fillers done by a great doctor since 2019 just to my cheekbones. I was told I already had great bones to start with. In 2019, I had 1 ml across two cheekbones. In 2020, I had another 1ml across two cheekbones. In 2021, I had .5 ml across two cheekbones. In 2022, I had almost .5 done across two cheekbones. I think I look great and I'm a workout fiend so appear to metabolize this stuff quickly, but is the above too much- am I going to get a puffy overfilled face in future?
