How much cheek filler do I need?

Most patients see meaningful improvement with 1-2 syringes (1-2ml) of HA filler per cheek, or 2-3 vials of Sculptra over a treatment series. Starting with 1 syringe per side, allowing swelling to fully resolve (2 weeks), and assessing before adding more produces the most natural and controllable results. More is not always better — the goal is restoration, not augmentation beyond natural anatomy.

Will jawline filler make my face look square?

Properly placed jawline filler enhances the existing mandibular border rather than adding bulk. Over-treatment or placement that extends beyond the mandibular border can produce squareness. The key is conservative volume, precise anatomical placement along the mandible, and an injector who calibrates the result to your natural facial geometry rather than a generic jawline template.

How quickly does filler dissolving work?

Visible dissolution begins within 30-60 minutes. Significant reduction is apparent at 24 hours. Complete dissolution of the targeted area is typically achieved within 48-72 hours. Swelling from the hyaluronidase injection itself resolves within 24-48 hours — judge the final result after 1 week.

What does a vascular occlusion look like?

Immediate blanching (pale white skin) in the distribution of the affected vessel immediately after injection. This may be followed by a reticulate (net-like) bluish-purple discoloration (livedo reticularis), pain, and in severe cases, skin darkening indicating impending necrosis. Any of these findings after filler injection require immediate recognition and treatment — call your provider immediately.
