When comparing a cheek implant and fat transfer to Voluma, how many syringes would you need to get comparable results?

Asked By:Dan8595 in New Jersey, NJ

For the average patient considering a cheek implant, how much Voluma would it take to recreate the look you can get from that implant? My surgeon keeps saying you only need 1cc per cheek but that's not a lot of filler so I'm curious why anyone would want to get fillers every two years when you can get a fat transfer or an implant that are technically permanent. Does Voluma give more noticeable results than the volume of the syringe would suggest? How much does technique matter as well?
