This really depends on the severity of your wrinkles and volume loss. Often, only one is necessary however more may be required to address your concerns. You can consider VOLUMA, a Juvederm product, that is specifically designed for volume loss.
Thank you for your question. I would recommend using at least 2 syringes for cheek enhancement, but everyone is different with their facial anatomy and treatment goals. I would recommend a consult and treatment under the supervision of a Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon for best results and safest treatment options. I hope this helps!
In some patients I recommend facial fat grafting to the patients for these areas, because the patient will save money over injecting Juvederm. If you only need 2 syringes then, Juvederm is reasonable. However, if you are seeking considerable augmentation, fat grafting makes more sense.
How much Jeuvederm is needed is highly patient dependent. Without an exam, photos of how you look and how you want to look it would be impossible to figure out. I can tell you that we usually start with a syringe on each cheek then have patients return in 4-6 weeks to determine if additional injections are required.
Of course this depends on the individual, some people need more and some less but typically you can estimate 1 syringe per side. Keep in mind that a teaspoon is 5 cc's. Each pre-filled syringe is 1 cc. so it would take 5 syringes to fill a teaspoon. It's not very much product, but it expands in your tissues so it becomes more in you than in a teaspoon so give it a try and estimate 2 syringes on average
