Dear adeeba979,Thank you for your question. The chin is a very safe area to inject, and complications are rare. Around the eyes some cases of blindness have been reports but they are extremely rare and the risk is though to be reduced/eliminated with a microcannula technique. This is why it is very important to know your injector and their qualifications. Board certified plastic surgeons have a unit skill set of extensive anatomical knowledge and experience which makes fillers safe and effective. Hope this helps.Nirmal R.

Dermal fillers are safe and side effects are extremely rare. The chin can be improved with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Chin filler treatment is safe and effective with minimal risk of side effect. Blindness is an extremely rare complication of filler injection with reported cases usually associated with nose, glabella or periorbital injection. This risk is minimized by going to an experienced injector who uses slow, low pressure injection techniques combined with a good understanding of facial anatomy and a cannula in certain high risk parts of the face. In my opinion, the chin is not a high risk area on the face with regards to vascular injury.
It's too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling which can last 1-2 weeks after filler injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
If you have never had any dermal fillers, start with reversible fillers such as Juvederm Voluma or Restylane Lyft. The most important step is to have a consultation with an expert physician and let him/her evaluate you thoroughly before the procedure.
Hello,Thank you for your question. The chin can be very sore after injections. Keep a close eye on it for now. If you notice that it gets worse, or you feel any heat in the area, you will want to let your provider know immediately. Good luck and congratulations on your treatment.
I would recommend waiting at least 6-8 weeks after your first Bellafill treatment before adding more to your chin. It will take this long to see the results from your first treatment and thus it will more easily be seen how much more you may need.
Yes, placing fillers in the chin to correct a recessed chin can eliminate the chin cleft. The cleft is caused by the anatomy of your bony chin or more likely in you case, by the attachment of the skin to the underlying dermis. Placing filler in this plane may eliminate the cleft. Using a...
This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...
