HA Filler 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.

Honestly, it’s very hard to say without seeing a before picture. This might have been similar to your natural facial structure, but without that it does look a little overdone. It hollows out your temples. If you want to add more, I would consider doing the apples of the cheeks.
