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.
Hi rhww5210, It's normal to have the chin feel firm and your facial expression feel restricted after chin injections. It is difficult to provide an accurate assessment with the pictures you have posted. From what I can see and what you've shared, the amount of product...
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.
Some discomfort is not unusual after fillers especially when the local anesthetic contained in it wears off. Typically it improves over few days.
