Should I remove the filler and will my chin look normal again and go back to original shape? (Photo)

Question

Chin filler has created a witch chin and fat pocket below. I never had a fat pocket before and when I smile and talk my chin looks like a ball has dropped below. It's 3 weeks post filler should i remove it and will it go back to normal or should i get jaw contour to even it out? My dr. is very money hungry and I don't trust her to not sell me on something else to "fix it

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

You can get the filler dissolved as long as it was a hyaluronic acid. Once it is gone, your chin should go back to its original state. I would wait for it to be completely dissolved before you add anything else and see a different doctor.

If the black and white picture is your before picture, it would appear that you have possibly had the filler placed at a slightly lower angle than is ideal. It also appears, based on the pictures you have shown here, that you have a rather flat chin, and would benefit from having some projection forwards to give a smoother contour. 
That said, it is hard to tell without seeing it in animation and live. If you have not given your doctor a chance to assess and correct it, it might be worth doing that first though it sounds like you may have a negative impression of her if you feel she is “money hungry”.

Thank you for your question. I am unsure how your Doctor did the injection and which product was used, however it does appear that the filler was smushed downwards. We typically use Voluma in the chin and recommend not putting any pressure on the chin area for the next 2 days as it can mold the filler. I would suggest having the filler dissolved and then once dissolved you can have the area retreated again by a different injector if desired. After you get chin filler just make sure not to touch or mold the area. Hope this helps!
