Is 0.5 ml filler enough for a subtle look for cheeks? (Photo)

it all depends on the amount of filler bout 0.5ml is VERY little and likely yo uwill not appreciate much at all from that but of course you can start slow and build upon it.  pretreat your skin with vivatia foam and faith esance serum, use redlight after (light stim) to improve the outcome and prevent issues (see link to emeragecosmetics.com). Best, Dr. Emer.

Using 1 cc of filler for both sides of your cheeks will give minimal change, but you could always do that first and see what you think.  If you wanted to, you could always add more later if you want more change.  Swelling and bruising are possible anytime an injection is done.  

Dear Chanelle83:I use this amount on the lateral cheekbones frequently for patients who don’t need much contouring and want a subtle change, but it has to be done with a filler with high G’ and cohesivity like #Voluma, and with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is an advanced injector with years of experience or you won’t see very much of a difference. I do think you would see a pleasing difference. You might wish to consider adding more later especially along the jawline to help redefine this area as well and reduce jowling, I hope this is helpful to you!Sheryl Clark MD FAAD
