First, thank you for posting your picture..that was very brave. Second, I think you are beautiful as you are! A close up picture from the side and front with emphasis on the chin would help. I have done lots of injectable chin implants with Radiesse. The syringes are 1.3 ccs which means that I can create the implant with just 1 syringe for a lot of people. The result is immediate. There is no downtime, minimal bruising, and you can put on your make up and have lunch 5 minutes after I am done! It lasts for about 1 year after the first treatment, even longer after the second treatment. I am not going to recommend the use Artefill very much until I am sure that it won't cause granulomas 5 years after I inject it.

im considering using radiesse to correct my weak chin. could this be done a bit at a time say over 6-9 month period. this is so it would not be immediately noticeable to people at work etc.
