I had 3 syringes of Voluma injected 2 weeks ago. My cheeks looked softly rounded. The next day, the results were gone.

Question

Will more fillers help, or are they not for me? My cheeks are not emaciated and still have some natural fat.

Hello, Thank you for your question. The answer really depends on a few things. Your age, the starting point before fillers, and your lifestlye. If this is your first time getting filled, chances are that you will need more. Fillers look best when they build on each other. This is how you achieve full correction. Make sure that you let your doctor know your concerns so that you can get the best treatment for your specific circumstances. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your question.  Three syringes of Voluma should lead to a noticeable change in appearance and a comparison of your before and after images should confirm this.  That said, filler placement will also lead to temporary tissue swelling which offers additional soft tissue volume, which as it resolves may make your initial results seem to disappear.  Talk to your injector, they can offer you the best advice.

Hi and thank you for your question! What you experience is quite common: In the days following most filler injections, the results appear to be more pronounced given the presence of swelling which adds to the volume. As the swelling goes away, the volume goes down but it rarely goes back to the baseline given the presence of filler. Nonetheless, some patients might see this and think that the filler didn't work. In cases like this, the best approach is to do a follow up with your physician and do a comparison between pictures taken before the injection and current pictures which will almost always objectively show the improvements. If you looked better during the first few days with the swelling, it is often an indicator that you would benefit from more fillers, so that is an option to consider. I hope it helps an good luck!

It is difficult to judge the results and what more you may need without before and after photos. When it seems that you have so much deflation I often recommend another product such as Sculptra to increase the volume and your own natural collagen in this area. Please consult an expert in cosmetic filler injections for the best results. Best, Dr. Green
