How many syringes of filler do I need in my chin to elongate it and slim my face? (photos)

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 you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Great question in general, you will ultimately spend more money on fillers due to needing multiple repeat treatments. When done well, chin implants can give you a more consistent result, are permanent, and do not slowly absorb over time (like filler). Both are good options! Warm regards.

Dear petititie,
A combination of a filler to the chin and Botox injection of your masseter muscles should produce the look you are looking for. Regarding your chin, consider an implant because the cost of 3-4 syringes will approach that of a chin implant, which would give you a permanent result. Good luck!

With regards to the chin, it is best to start with a small amount of filler, eg 1mL, as you can always add more if you require. Having said that, if there is excess filler injected, it can also be dissolved.
For the heart-shaped face, one option is Botox to the the jaw muscles. This relaxes the jaw muscles, and over the following few weeks, it creates a slimmer jawline which can then results in a less rounded/square shape. The amount of Botox required varies, and one side may need more than the other.

This is a frequent question that I get asked on a daily basis. The front part of your jawline shows that you could have strong muscles that make your jawline more angular and less curved. Botox into these muscles can help- typically 24-38 units depending on strength. Your chin? 1.5 ml of Juvederm to get the correct proportions between chin width and nostrils. Very common in Asian women - in fact this is the MOST common procedure done in this ethic group. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim , Brisbane. Australia
