How Often Do I Need to Go Back for Dermal Fillers in my Chin?

Dermal fillers are a great way to augment the chin without surgery.  The most popular fillers would be Juvederm Ultra Plus XC and Radiesse.  If you have never had a filler, I would suggest the Juvederm first as it can be melted away with another injection, Vitrase, if you do not like the results.  Radiesse is also great and you get a little more volume for about the same about of money.  However, the Radiesse cannot be removed once it is injected so you need to make sure you like the look of the augmented chin.  In general, the fillers should last 6 to 9 months and sometimes longer.

 

Good Luck.

A recessed chin can result from a genetic predisposition or a loss of chin bone and muscle changes with aging. Such changes can throw off Steiner's Line, an imaginary line drawn from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin, which should ideally should intercept the lips.

 Whatever the cause, nonsurgically volumizing the chin can be accomplished in minutes with volumizing agents, which can be injected to create or re-create more desirable chin proportions. In the U.S., I prefer to use Radiesse for this purpose, which tends to give good lift and to last longer. In my practice abroad, I use Restylane SQ, alone or in combination with Radiesse, which gives a more substantial lift and lasts still longer.

If you are talking about fillers for the "cracks" that would be Juvederm or Radiesse. Radiesse lasts up to 2 years and it depends on how deep the cracks are. If superficial, then Juvederm is better and lasts about 9-12 months.
