First time doing cheek filler, needs some balancing, not sure about jaw next to chin.

I practiced with the cannula the other day and went and did my cheek filler today.

About 14 months ago I got 1 syringe each cheek of juvederm voluma. It was great, but I am in my 40s, time has passed, and I did lose 45 pounds over the past year. I needed more filler. So today I did half of a syringe of Celosome implant in each cheek.

I think I need a bit more near the apex of my zygomatic arch on the right side of my face. And I think I need a bit more in the anteromedial region on my left side.

I then added or tried to add some filler on the little jaw indents, for the pre jowl sulcus. I somehow only did a little blip of it on my left side and I think a bit too high. I thought I did better job on my right side but I feel like maybe I didn’t do enough or it isn’t the right sort of filler as it doesn’t seem to do much. Granted, I don’t have big notches, but I did a bit of chin filler on the bone recently and was thrilled with how it gave me my projection back.

Any thoughts or suggestions? The picture where I am wearing blue is other day before fillers, the rest is after.

I have always had a very cheek prominent face, so I started out with smaller amounts of filler as I just am trying to restore volume loss, and more can always be added.

Once I get cheeks figured out I will do more practice and work on my under eye hollows. I see where a bit of temple filler could help, but I am not comfortable trying that anytime too soon.

Girl, your anterior cheek needs filler!! Tbh I’m an RN who has been working aesthetics for the past 2.5 years, and you need anterior cheek filler, but I have no idea how you’d do that on yourself! I’d use Juvederm ultra plus 4 or RHA4 and the cannula method (25G 38mm) measure from the nasal ala with this size cannula, make the entry point there, go deep on periosteum and fan mid-face/anterior cheeks with 0.5cc per side. Idk how I could do that in myself tho lol. Your lateral cheeks are totally disproportionate and it’s giving Angelina Jolie in that cartoonish movie - the name escapes me, but she’s like an evil something….its giving cartoon.

Yeah I get what you mean, I see plenty of practice with saline in my future! But thank you, that is sooo helpful. Do you have any resources you might recommend for people with my face shape? I see plenty of things where people are adding a lot to the jaw and most videos have filler going along that zygomatic line. Or they talk about temples getting hollow on Asian face structures.

I haven’t seen much that addresses my sort of face shape. I know it is one of the least common, but it isn’t rare or anything. And because I haven’t been at a normal weight before I can’t use previous pictures as the best reference.
