Doctors on this forum such as Dr. Francis Palmer said that in his practice, a male needs 3 syringes of Radiesse for jaw angle "flare out" or augmentation. Wouldn't the amount of Radiesse vastly vary based on the starting point of the patient's jaw angle ? Also with Radiesse, since the carrier gel (70%) dissolves quickly, wouldn't the patients need to probably get 2 injections of a smaller amount of Radiesse each time, spaced 1-3 months apart for a more precise & predictable shape & result ?

Answer: Radiesse to the Jaw
The amount of Radiesse needed depends on the current starting point of the face as well as the results you are trying to achieve. Generally I have patients returns in a few weeks to determine if additional product is needed. Please consult with a board certified injector who can assist you in achieving the results you seek.

Answer: How Many Syringes of Radiesse?
There is no "right" answer to this question. In general, the more dramatic a change or modification requested or desired, the more volume that has to be injected. Some areas or faces need more volume to achieve a desired look, or to get as close to that as possible, than others do. And different practitioners address this differently. I like spreading the injection sessions out over one or two months so that too much is not injected at a single time. But the definition of "too much" is debatable, and once we reach a point where both the patient and I are happy with what we've done, adding more at a single time is that much more acceptable.
I would say that each face needs to be assessed individually, and that there are many different ways of achieving a given result. I would consultations with several plastic surgeons - however many it takes - until you find one you're comfortable working with, and then, at that point, to rely to a greater extent on his or her recommendations and guidance.
I hope that this helps and good luck,
Dr. E
