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: Number of syringes of filler for cheeks and under eyes The number of syringes of a filler used on a patient may vary by injector. The nice thing about using injectable fillers, is that you can always add more if desired. Adding filler to the cheeks can help with the under eye area, so doing this is not unusual. You could always start with 1 syringe of Voluma for the cheeks and 1 syringe of an under eye filler and then add more later if you wanted.

Answer: Under eye filler Most patients benefit from adding cheek volume when correcting the under eye area. This ensures the contours are harmonious. An in person evaluation is best but from the photo it appears that more than one syringe split between the two cheeks would be recommended.

Answer: Dermal filler Hi @Heaven0507! The upper cheek is a major support for the under eyes. I would first begin with addressing the volume loss in the cheeks followed by addressing the tear trough area. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

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.
