Alternatives to chin implant
A temporary chin implant with filler is a great way to get an idea of how a chin implant may look without taking the plunge for a permanent fix. Filler used depends on the preference of the surgeon. The result obtained will not be as effective as a permanent implant. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck.

Chin Implant?
Wide variety of facial implants are currently available for the enhancement of the skeletal elements of facial aesthetics. The most commonly used facial implants are used to enhance the profile of the chin and the cheeks. Facial implants very widely not only in shape and style, but also in terms of the materials from which they are fabricated.

Fillers For Temporary Chin Augmentation
No injectable filler is an adequate substitute for a synthetic chin implant. But a filler can be a good trial to see if some degree of chin augmentation is viewed as beneficial.

If a filler provides good improvement, the placement of an actual chin implant will provide a more economical approach to a sustained chin augmentation result.

Alternatives to cheek implants
There are several types of fillers that could be used to augment the chin instead of using an implant. I would say there are three main possibilities. These would be Artefill, Sculptra, and Radiesse. Artefill and Sculptra are stimulatory agents that would require multiple treatment sessions to reach the desired effect. Radiesse would have an immediate effect but would not last as long as Sculptra or Artefill.
