How Many Restaline Syringes Typically Needed for the Whole Face - Nasolabial Folds, Under Eyes, Crows Feet?

Question

Melissa Chiang, MD, FAAD · Answer

Your question is a very good one.  We want our patients to have great results, and this means filling to "full correction."  It can take only 1-2 syringes in a young person with minimal volume loss, but it can take 6+ syringes in an older patient. 

	Trying to answer the question definitively without doing a physical examination is like trying to guess how much air will be needed to reinflate a tire without knowing what the tire looks like. 

	The best thing to do is to have a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

	Good luck!

You'd have to be seen in person to determine your specific needs - without seeing you and assessing volume loss, there is no way to know.

My average patient gets 2 ml of Restylane. The most I have ever injected into someone's face at one time is 7 ml. However, I do have many patients who have the equivalent of 10 ml of filler in their face and probably would benefit from more. The important thing is to find the right injector and recognized that you can ease into what you are looking for. The product really last much longer than a year for many. This means that over time you can build up facial volume until you have achieved the volume replacement you are looking for.

There is no way I can answer that without a consulation.  Everyone is different, however, I agree with the physicians.  On average for entire face injections you are looking at anywhere from 2 to 6 syringes maybe more...

No two patients will be the same in regards to the amount of dermal filler, and many patients will benefit from a combination of dermal fillers. Generally for a full face, you can expect 2 - 6 syringes.

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

The amount of restylane or juvederm or other filler syringes for a full face restoration is variable, depending on your genetics, age, previous filler usage, budget etc. Generally speaking, I find most of my patients will do very well with between 5-8 syringes for the full face. Most importantly, have an experienced and highly trained filler injector such as a dermatologist perform your treatments to maximize the outcome and minimize side effects.

Joseph Campanelli, MD · Answer

On average, the amount of volume needed for full face correction in most middle aged patients is 20-30 ml. While this seems like a large volume, consider that 2 Tablespoons is 30 ml of volume. Be sure to check out the attached video link that shows full face correction.

Peter A. Aldea, MD · Answer

Respectfully, your question is impossible to answer without a face to face examination and understanding your cosmetic goals. Just as a good painter would use more than one paint brush and a builder uses much more than a single tool, Plastic surgeons do NOT limit making the face more attractive with just a single type of filler, such as Restylane. There are several fillers on the US market, all of which have distinct characteristics and qualities. Based on what you want to achieve we would use several different fillers, in addition to Restylane, to accomplish those goals. Most Plastic surgeons would use Restylane to fill the Tear Trough marking the junction between the lower lid and cheek.

It is difficult to say how many syringes will be needed to provide your improvement.  Some patients need one or two, others may need up to 4 or 5.  Best to be evaluated in person.

Ted Brezel, MD · Answer

This will vary depending upon the patient and your goals. Without an examination it is impossible to answer this question. I would suggest you see a local dermatologist or a physician who specialize in aesthetic medicine
