I have hollow cheeks, how much filler would be required? (Photo)

Thank you for sharing you question and photos. You should look great with 1ml of Juvederm injected into each cheek. You can always add more. Good luck.

Juvederm an other injectable fillers are a great solution for reducing volume loss in the cheeks.  For significant deficits in volume, larger quantities of filler are needed.  Sometimes in these patients, it may be more cost effective to perform a Fat Transplantation procedure. In this case 1.5 - 2 cc per side would likely be sufficient; but a physical exam would be needed to accurately assess the volume loss.   It is important to have a consultation with an expert injector that includes expectation of optimal results prior to any injectable regimen.

Thank you for your question and photographs.  Because fillers can be placed incrementally to achieve a noticeable, but natural, result I would advocate using a half syringe of Voluma to each cheek and adding product until you obtain the results you want.  Hope this helps.

Hollow cheeks and how much filler required:At least two syringes of Juvederm Voluma then let this settle in, go back in a month or two later and see what your doctor says

I often put 1- 1/2 syringes in each cheek and sometimes more.  Every patient is different and you would need to be seen in person.  Good luck.

Juvederm is not great for cheeks. It has a low g prime, which is its lifting ability. I think Voluma, between 1 and 2 total would be a good look. You can decide after one is placed if another would be better.

You have a lovely facial contour.  I would start with one syringe of Voluma in each cheek.  With the right placement you can make the product go along way. Best to consult an expert.  Keep us posted. Best, Dr. Green

I think that your facial volume looks great.  The problem with injecting fillers into the mid face, is that it can be a product, "black hole".  I've injected 3 cc's in each cheek for someone in their 70's and they probably could have used an additional 1-2cc's.  There are other filler options, but I personally like juvederm and restylane because they can be easily dissolved and the risk of side effects is low.

Dear dawns0nlover,

Thank you for your clinical post and
photographs. From the photographs
presented it does appear you have a long, lean facial contour and sagittal
split osteotomy and brining your jawline forward to correct an underbite will
create a longer face and a relative decreased volume and the apparent contour
of your cheeks. In my experience, I have
been injecting for over 20 years both fat and off the shelf Hyaluronic acid
sugar gels, one syringe in each cheek will really make a significant
difference. It is, however, a good way
to assess patient’s reaction to volume shaping and often will stay more within
the allotted budget. In general, for
long, lean faces with maxillary hypoplasia, I find the under orbit bone as well
as the centre prominence and zygomatic sweep only to be enhanced in order to
match a strong chin point and jawline.
This will often require 3-4 syringes injected not in one area which
gives the dreaded “filler face look” but along the entire under eye and cheek
sweep region. This can be done expertly
with a microcannula with very little risk of bruising.

I hope this information is of some
assistance and best of luck.

I would say 2-3 ml for a natural look. Expert injectors will not just place one ml in an area such as your mid cheek, but will ' Freestyle '- namely place fillers in stratergic locations to contour and add volume. Balance is the key. To answer your question, I would say budget for 2- 3 ml of Juvederm Voluma- Volift. All the bestDr Davin S. LimLaser and aesthetic dermatologistBRISBANE, Australia.
