Hello I wanted a chin implant but my doctor offered botox or calcium filler first for chin, should I try this ? I want my chin bit bigger for my face, and I think it should be filled, a lot
Answer: Botox as chin implant? I want my chin bigger Hello, thank you for your question. Depending on how much chin augmentation you would like to receive, non-surgical chin augmentation with fillers may be a good option for you. Because the filler may be place close to the bone and far from the chin, almost any filler can be used for chin augmentation.

Answer: Chin treatment Hello and thanks for your question. Botox is a muscle relaxant so can be used in the lower face but it will not help with your chin protection. Filler in this area is very effective and this would likely be the best choice here. I hope that helps- remember always seek treatment from an experienced and qualified medical practitioner.

Answer: Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation with Injectable Fillers -- Radiesse, Sculptra, Surgical Implants, See an Expert Thank you for your question, a formal evaluation would be needed to determine what's best. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, so we perform a non-surgical chin augmentation treatment with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse as well as Sculptra are injected into the area, improving the overall appearance of the lower face and balancing the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour and project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline and improve the chin crease. Implants are still a great option once you are 100% positive that you are ready for a permanent enhancement. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert; our practice is located right here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Can Botox Be Used For A Bigger Chin? It is possible to utilize Botox to relax the mentalis muscle to improve the appearance of a person’s profile in the lower face. In certain individuals, if it is excessively contracted, it will produce an underprojected body chin. For these cases, filler may not help. In cases where bone projection is not an issue, it is possible to use a calcium-based filler called Radiesse to augment the chin, an approach that we often use at my practice, the Dr.U Hair and Skin Clinics in Los Angeles. Once injected below the skin, Radiesse functions much like a chin implant. Unlike a surgical implant, however, it can be shaped while the patient is awake. Under local anesthesia, they are able to provide feedback on how they want their chin to look. Because Radiesse consists of tiny calcium-based microparticles, it offers a versatile form of support and the level of firmness that is most appropriate for specific treatment areas.

Answer: Botox vs. Dermal Fillers for Chin Augmentation Botox is a neuromodulator that works by relaxing muscles that lead to facial wrinkles. The medication can also be inserted into the masseter (jaw) muscle, which causes it to relax and decrease in size. This treatment is recommended for patients who have a square jawline or those that suffer from pain or tension due to teeth clenching or grinding. Botox will not help to bring out a recessed chin, however. Dermal fillers work to create fullness in the chin for a more proportionate facial profile. Fillers like Voluma are specifically designed for larger areas like the chin and offer results that can last up to two years. These fillers are placed by an injection, with no anesthesia or downtime needed. You will need to repeat the treatment every one or two years to maintain your positive results. Always work with a board-certified dermatologist and expert injector for both these treatments to ensure an optimal outcome.
