I went in for consultation for under eye filler and the nurse injector stated that she almost never does under eye filler without doing cheek filler first. She recommended I get 2 syringes of Voluma before the 1 syringe of under eye filler. I am wondering if 1 syringe of cheek filler plus 1 syringe of under eye filler will suffice. I am 34 years old .

Answer: Filler Thank you for your question.I would recommend an in person consultation with a board certified PS. Injections around the eyes are tricky and the skin is very thin there. You want to make sure you are going to someone who knows the anatomy and has been trained to do these injections.

Answer: Cheek Filler & Under Eye Filler Hi and thank you for your question! While each patient is different and an in-person consultation and examination is needed, I frequently inject cheek filler together with filler under the eyes for a more uniform and natural-looking results. In many patients, injecting filler under the eyes without addressing the volume loss in cheeks will lead to unsatisfactory results. Regarding the number of syringe needed, as long as your injector is experienced and you have done your research to make sure she is the right one for you, you should trust her recommendation and going below the recommended number of syringes might not be the best approach. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: Fillers for tear trough and cheeks Hello, it is typical to see volume loss by the mid 30s. You may notice the under eye area the most because it makes a person look tired generally and “sad.” It is the number one reason patients come in to the office. But the answer is not always correcting that area first. I would recommend you have your face evaluated from all angles. Often I find the cheeks are sunken in esp when evaluated from the side angle. As a result, there is downward sweeping affect of the mid face. When I start correction either mid cheek or lateral, the full face looks more “awake” and less tried. The tear trough may still require fillers but usually a minimal amount is needed. I find that you will see positive affects with at least one syringe on each side, followed by a third for the tear trough area. But it may still not be a full correction as 3 cc is not a lot. It is just a little over a half a teaspoon. You will have minimal correction with one and it may not even be noticeable. So unless you think you’re ready to do multiple, I may hold off until you find you’re comfortable with someone enough to move forward withe the full correction. Good luck.
