The amount of syringes that a patient requires will be evaluated at the patient consultation. Depending on whether the patient has lost volume due to the aging process or weight loss, will play a role on how much Voluma the patient will need for volume restoration. If a patient already has sufficient volume in the cheeks, but he/she wants additional augmentation, then that will impact how much that patient will need. Finally, if a patient is hoping for a lifting effect rather than simply a filling effect, that will require a different amount of Voluma. Many criteria are considered such as patient’s age, amount of volume loss, patient expectations and patient goals (augmenting vs restoring).
