Most commonly, just 1 syringe is used for augmenting the lips, regardless of the type of filler you use. Occasionally, we will build up to 2 or even 3 syringes in the lips for a patient, but this is usually an older patient who has lost some of the definition and structure in the lips, as well as volume. We are conservative with lip fillers, because we know so many people have seen the over-done lips of celebrities and Instagram models, and wish to avoid results like those.

When doing filler injections for the cheeks, we typically recommend 2-6 syringes.
Weight loss and illness can also negatively impact the fat pads in the cheeks, causing patients to need more filler to restore them to a youthful appearance.

1-2 syringes will work to smooth smile lines, provided your cheeks are not sagging and thereby contributing to the problem. Some patients do develop deep smile lines before their cheeks sag, but for many, the issue is really that the cheeks have lost volume and are drooping over where they meet other parts of the face, such as the junction at the smile lines and jowls along the jawline.
When cheeks are also part of the issue, generally lifting and re-filling the cheeks will provide a change to the smile lines that most patients are happy with – so it’s not likely you’ll need both 2-6 syringes for the cheeks AND 1-2 for the smile lines, but rather will see meaningful changes to the smile lines by just doing the 2-6 to the cheeks. Your free consultation with one of our injecting physicians will help guide you through what exactly we recommend to achieve your goals. -
Jawline contouring with fillers, has become one of the biggest filler trend. Most patients will need 2-4 syringes to achieve a sharp, defined look. Those looking for a softer result may be able to achieve it with less.
Generally, we find older patients have lost some of their normal bone volume, as part of the natural aging process, and they usually need a very firm filler, like Volux, or Voluma, which tend to be more expensive, but do last longer.

The temples are often an overlooked part of the face, but 2-4 syringes for a temple that’s hollowed out can completely change the proportions of the face.

Chin Augmentation used to be only possible through surgery, but over the past decade the nations’ top injectors have created a set of injection techniques that allows for the augmentation, sculpting, and recontouring of the chin with dermal fillers. This process usually requires between 2 and 4 syringes of filler, and because the chin is a bony protrusion, we tend to use much firmer fillers that mimic bone’s firmness, such as Voluma, Defyne, or Volux. These are generally on the more expensive end of filler but do last longer, especially when injected deep, as we normally do in this treatment area.

The amount of filler needed for under eye treatments varies depending on the severity of the issue and the desired outcome:
Minimal dark circles: One syringe of filler may be enough
Severe hollowing: A full syringe may be required for each under eye area
Basic concerns: Most people need 1-2 ml of filler in the under eyes and surrounding areas
More complex or severe problems: 2-4 ml or more may be needed
In some cases, it may be necessary to treat the cheeks and temples to provide additional support for the under eyes.
