Regret cheek and nasolabial filler. Should I balance it out with more Voluma? (Photo)

vi0letfshsJul 20, 2023
I had 1ml of cheek filler underneath my eyes and a small amount in my nasolabial folds. I regret how it has made my face look fatter and more bottom heavy. I think it strangely made my nose look rounder and got rid of the delicate pointy rhythm of my face. I know it's only noticeable to me. If I had more filler more in the cheekbone area, would this balance it out? I just don't want to have to wait 2 years for it to fade or get it dissolved. I mean just 1ml more of filler.

You will likely have the best result from a combination of treatments. Fillers can be used to add volume to hollow areas. The wonderful thing about fillers is that you can go slowly and build up to the look you are wanting. Botox can be used to refresh the eyes and give a conservative brow...

Some filler might have gotten into very tiny blood vessels and occluded them enough to lighten the skin above them. I would suggest avoiding filler in this area.

Thanks for your question. It is impossible to know prior to injection how long your filler will last in a patient with high metabolism. If you are worried about longevity, consider facial implants or a Y Lift which are either permanent or last longer than dermal filler. Make sure you consult...

The suggested filler to cheeks and temples would help restore volume and balance your overall features, but it is not addressing other signs on aging in the lower face. While a profile image was not provided, I can see some blunting to your chin that suggests you may benefit from jawline/chin...

I do not recommend the threads, but do recommend Sculptra injections for better overall volume and improvement in skin texture. Sculptra was initially approved for those with HIV with severe facial volume loss. It works nicely and works differently from other fillers and the results last longer.
