I recently had cheek fillers from the same doctor that does my Botox saw trusted him with no question. However after having the cheek fillers - £350 for I was not happy I feel like my face is exactly the same and I feel completely ripped off. I requested some information a week later and they told me the doctor put in 0.5 ML in each cheek I have research contacted lots of different clinics Whom have stated this is overpriced and 0.5 ML for cheeks and is not enough. Where do I stand with this? Have I been ripped off with my cheek fillers and can I get a refund?
Answer: Cheek filler Your doctor put in one syringe of filler divided between the 2 cheeks. This is often a good way to start, as you can always add more as needed. If someone wants more significant correction one syringe can be used on each side. But if you feel you are overcorrected, you have to dissolve it al out and start over. So it is not a bad idea to start with one syringe and see how you like it.The price you paid for one tube is less than you will pay in the U.S.

Answer: Fillers The amount of filler injected is too conservative to notice much of a difference. More product will give you a more noticeable result. As far as pricing, each practice determines the pricing for treatment. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your doctor as you say you've had a good relationship in the past. Hopefully you will be able to come to an acceptable agreement.

Answer: Cheek Augmentation / Improving Cheek Volume & Contouring - Fillers (Radiesse, Voluma, Bellafill), Sculptra, Fat Transfer to Face Hi Lea, whether or not you are able to obtain a refund is between you and your physician. I suggest following up with him directly to discuss your expectations and your disappointment with the outcome. Every patient has unique aesthetic goals, and it's the role of the physician to determine the best filler, the right amount of filler, and the best location to obtain those goals.In our practice, we improve volume and contour the cheeks with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Fat grafting and surgical implants are more permanent alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: No difference after cheek fillers I think your doctor did the prudent thing by starting slow. Cheeks often take multiple vials if filler to have a more noticeable effect. You can always have more filler put in.

Answer: Had cheek fillers and contacted lots of clinics who stated this is overpriced and 0.5 ML isn't enough. Where do I stand? (photo) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry that your results were not what you expected. I agree that for most patients a half syringe per cheek is insufficient to leave a noticeable change but pricing is very reasonable, if not inexpensive, compared to US pricing. I would recommend seeking additional filler placement to achieve an improved result. Hope this helps.
