The degree of your microgenia (lack of chin projection) would require a lot of Radiesse which is only a temporary fix so I would not recommend it. You would do better with a chin implant if you want a simple fix. When Radiesse is injected properly it should not cause your brow to fall.
Hi Kachela. Chin injections tend to be pretty straightforward, easy and not a lot of pain. If anything, we would use a triple numbing cream, Lidocaine, Benzocaine, Tretracaine mix at 30% and a cold pack. Nothing else is required.To see before and after photos of chin injections...
It sounds like you will need to have more filler injected to get optimal results. Swelling occurs after injections and usually subsides within 3-4 days. A full treatment of that area should last you 6-12 months.
