Can fillers be used on top of an existing implant? (Photo)

The short is answer is yes. I prefer either Juvederm Voluma or Radiesse for that type of chin injection on top of an existing implant. The risk is infection. That risk can be minimized by very careful technique and preparation of  your skin. If you want to go that route find a plastic surgeon injector who understands both the fillers and the implant procedure and the risks of the treatment that you're seeking. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Hi.  The options for more projection in your case are either surgical (larger implant or genioplasty) or use of fillers.  Voluma or Perlane are reasonable choices for this application.  As mentioned earlier, careful technique is required to avoid infection and damage to the implant.  Unfortunately, these are not permanent, and will require on-going maintenance.

Volumetric fillers can be easily injected on top of an existing chin implant. Options include a hyaluronic acid based filler like Juvederm, Voluma or Perlane, as well as a biostimulator such as Sculptra. These would provide an effective and easy solution for added projection to an implant which would be an in-office procedure.
