When doing filler injections for the cheeks, we usually recommend 2 to 6 syringes. Weight loss and illness can also negatively affect fat pads on the cheeks, causing patients to need more padding to restore a youthful appearance. Regardless of which dermal filler you use, two or three syringes are almost always recommended for best results. The number of syringes needed should not be a determining factor when considering dermal fillers, as they are similar across brands and types of fillers.

Therefore, for a complete correction at age 40, you would need approximately 4 syringes. In combination with age, lifestyle choices, such as smoking and exposure to the sun, can also affect the amount of filler you might need. Be sure to discuss in consultation with your injector the areas you want to treat and get an estimate of the number of syringes you will need.
Needless to say, this is not an appearance that most people would like to have, however, overfilling to this extent is almost always done at the patient's request due to the high cost of needing several syringes to achieve this, as well as the fact that many doctors would not even agree to the treatment. quantity.

Sometimes we can give generalizations, such as that the cheeks may require 1 syringe per side to start, filling the jaw line can take 2 to 6 syringes, tear grooves you should expect to start with half a syringe per side and then wait 2 to 3 months to see if you want more. For most people, treatment with 1 syringe in 1 specific area will be a subtle improvement, which can be great for younger patients looking to maintain their appearance or those who don't want to see much change. If you're new to the world of dermal fillers, one of the first things you learn is that units are measured in “syringes”. I have done lips where a patient has a tiny lip, with tight tissue sees a good improvement from a half syringe, and has chosen to build it in stages to where I was finally happy with a final quantity of 2.5 syringes, to patients who have 1 syringe made, and feeling that they didn't notice any changes afterwards.
I have had patients in my late 20s who needed 10 syringes to achieve their goals from a raised cheek, a renewed tear canal and a natural lip, to 40-year-old women who only need 4 to achieve the same thing, to a 50-year-old woman who wants a very natural and comprehensive improvement of her entire face requiring 16 syringes.
