Will fillers (Juvederm ultra plus XC) for chin augmentation make my jaws look more asymmetrical than as it is?

Thank you for the question. Fillers are very useful for jaw and chin augmentation, because you can start with a little amount and add more if it is needed. Results are usually excellent. Make sure you see an experienced expert injector. Good luck.

I suggest you go to a facial contouring expert who specializes in fillers and fat transfer for facial defining. Cannula injections limit side effects and give meticulous contouring. I find that radiesse is a better filler than HA fillers for this.  I have patients travel from all over the world for this. Do not compromise your care for cost or distance. Best, Dr. Emer.

Photos will be essential in addressing your question properly.  In general, filler can be successfully used to address certain facial asymmetries.  Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

If your injector is skilled and qualified to perform the injections and has expert understanding of facial balance and aesthetics, then you should enjoy a very nice result from the filling agents. You may also find it helpful to have computerized imaging done to simulate the potential results prior to having any treatment. The Vectra 3-D imaging system is a very useful tool to help patients understand how various procedures will alter their appearance prior to actually having anything done. I frequently use injectable fillers such as Juvederm to restore symmetry at the cheek, lips, jaw, chin, and other areas; and I find that patient satisfaction with this is very good. Best regards.

Thanks for your question.  Without photos or an in person consultation, it is difficult to answer your question more specifically.  What I will say is that if you take the time to research and select a well trained and experienced physician injector to do your treatment, it increases your chances that you can have a good outcome.  With some careful planning it may be possible to augment the chin without affecting the look of the jaw.  Also, fillers can be used along the jawline as well for certain indications.  Best of luck to you!

If the filler is injected artfully and correctly, it works very well to contour asymmetries in this region of the face. It works well as a nonsurgical temporary chin augmentation. 

An in person examination or photographs would be helpful in answering your questions.  You should see a board certified plastic surgeon who is an expert filler to evaluate you and discuss your options. An expert filler can help even your asymmetries.
