How many syringes of Voluma for cheek fillers? (Photo)

Voluma helps rebuild the mid to higher cheek, areas that lose fat with age and weight loss.  The volume loss contributes to sagging of facial features by a lack of support.  In my NYC practice I evaluate all patients prior to injecting them by looking at their three dimensional topography of their face, both at rest and with their animation (speaking and moving their facial muscles). I strive to produce a natural result, one to help my patients become refreshed and to obtain the appearance they had at one time but lost, not to create a different face that won't be recognized as that person.It's not unusual that I start with half a syringe to each side of the face before starting a second syringe.  In fact, many people have signficant asymmetry and need more filler on one side of their face.All patients should seek consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to determine what is best for them (filler, volumizer, which type, how many syringes or vials, and price information based on the plan created for that individual).

Hi @kpandaa. I would recommend starting with 1.5 syringes in each cheek and going from there. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

Voluma is a wonderful way to build up your cheekbones and improve your facial structure. Based on the photos you provided, it would probably take two syringes to give you the look you desire. You can always add more, if needed. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to discuss how Voluma can add to your natural beauty.

You are deficient in mid-facial volume - we would start with two syringes of Voluma to the mid facial zone - this would create a substantial difference with your otherwise youthful skin quality.

Thank you for your question about Voluma.At your young age of 21, only 1 syringe per side is likely necessary to volumize your cheeks.To be sure, see two or more licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these treatments.I hope this helps.

Based on your photographs you do appear to be an excellent candidate for Voluma injection.  When treating thin patients such as you the relatively small amount of product can often go a long way.  I would undergo evaluation by a highly experienced board-certified specialist And to follow that physicians recommendations.

Voluma is an excellent filler for mid face projection and volume enhancement. Start with one to two syringes and see how the mid cheek improves.  Best, Dr. Karamanoukian 

In most cases, with proper technique, two to three syringes are adequate for a very nice result. For someone of your age, it often makes sense to place one syringe in each cheek and allow you to heal and for swelling to resolve for one to two weeks before considering whether a third syringe will be needed for optimal results. Finding an injector with proper knowledge of cheek aesthetics and Voluma injection technique is harder than it might seem. With simply making cheeks bigger is NOT always better. Seek a highly experienced physician injector.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

You really need an in person evaluation to determine the number and placement of the filler.  You will likely need at least two, but most younger patients Im having do sculptra as well to give long term lift negating the need for much more filler in the future.  I suggest seeing only a facial contouring expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

This is something that should be determine during an in-person evaluation with your injector after going over your goals, etc. I take a more conservative approach when using Voluma in the cheeks of younger patients. It is always easier to add more than to take away. I would start with 1 syringe to each cheek, and add more from there if needed. Hope this helps answer your question.
