I had juvederm in my chin 2 weeks ago and it looks terrible now when I smile. At rest is ok but when I smile, the sides bulge out and my chin looks flat and wide; no more nice contour with the side of my face when I smile. I am scared about Hyalurondase as I'm afraid it will look saggy and wrinkle if I have it dissolved with an injection and have also read horror stories about indentations and bumps. Should I let the juvederm disolve on its own? How long will that take to get back to normal?

While duration will vary greatly from one patient to another, radiesse may be a superior product than juvederm for chin augmentation due to the fact that radiesse will last about a year as opposed to juvederm which will last about 6 months.
Radiesse is a calcium based product in a gel vehicle. The gel vehicle can cause a lot of swelling and contribute to the exaggerated appearance you make not like on your cheeks.
Using a laser such as IPL or Vbeam laser have been described to soften the gel vehicle, dissolve it a bit, and...
Arian Mowlavi, MD, FACS (license on probation) says:
It is safe to get a Radiesse touch up at any time as this filler is very stable and does not get larger or grow in the soft tissues after it has been injected. Typically, the filler lasts well over 1.5 years, but it is safe to add to the volume achieved any time after one month.
