Hi, I would like to make my face fuller, mainly along my lower jaw area. Are jaw implants right for me. Could dermal fillers do the same task as jaw implants? I already have a chin implant but would like the same volume the chin implant gave to my chin, to me around my jawline. basicially to have a wider looking jawline from a front view. thanks

Dermal fillers are not a good long term solution for this problem. I would consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns.
Warmest wishes...
