Will half a syringe of Voluma make a difference in the cheeks?

Half of a syringe of Voluma will create a very subtle change in the cheeks. The risk of bruising with a small volume of filler is essentially the same as a larger volume of filler. Voluma can be placed in other areas of the face as well as the cheeks but it needs to be placed deeper than the thinner hyaluronic acid fillers. Best.

Voluma is a great dermal filler. I think that 1/2 a syringe can go a long way. Speak with your injector to get a full assessment and set expectations. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO 

Voluma is a fairly thick hyaluronic-acid based dermal filler. Even 1/2 syringe could make a subtle but noticeable difference in volume in your face. Good injection technique is part of a dermatologist’s expertise. While bruising may occur, it shouldn’t be expected at every treatment, unless you are susceptible to bruising overall. Consulting a few other board-certified dermatologists may allow you to choose a practitioner with more expertise.
