RealSelf actual patient comment:

“Hello, I purchased 2 syringes of voluma, but my doctor ended up only using 1.5 of it. I now have half a syringe left and I don’t want it to go to waste I know voluma is most commonly used for the cheeks…I have good cheeks but a bit of a lift and/or some more volume/definition would probably be nice since I am quite thin. Can half a syringe actually make a noticeable difference? Also, what does brushing/swelling look like this little amount injected? I always bruise with injections by this DR”

A.Voluma is a great filler when used by expert injecting physicians. A small amount can make a big difference. I can always find room for a bit more to make a face look more beautiful in a natural manner. Though patients may bruise with any injection, it is certainly not normal that you should always bruise when injected. The most important aspect of any aesthetic treatment is that you choose your injecting physician most carefully based on their skill, experience,knowledge, and natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well.
