Is it safe to put filler on top of a chin implant?

Question

Hi! I was wondering is it safe to put filler on top of a Chin inplant? I believe I can use more projection and I do not want to have another surgery. My procedure was completed approximately 10 years ago. Thank you

Thank you for your question. It is safe to administer filler to your chin without affecting your chin implant. Augmenting the chin with a combination of dermal fillers and collagen stimulators can increase volume to enhance your chin’s projection. It will be important to discuss your surgical history with your injector so they can ensure the safest and most natural result. 
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced injector who will review your history and aesthetic goals to help you decide on the best treatment option.

Hello ! thank you for your question 10 years have passed since the surgery, of course, it may be time to make some adjustments, don't worry to having previous surgery is not an obstacle for filler. l need more information and photos to decide which filler would be the most adapted in your case. 
Thank you regards

It is safe to put filler on top of a chin implant, but it's important to inform your surgeon about your implant and if the location is completely healed. You can consult a board certified plastic surgeon to ask for their assistance for the result you wish.

Filler can be safely injected in the area of a previous facial implant with good sterile technique.  Silicone implants become encapsulated so it is recommended to stay outside the capsule with the injections.

Hello !

Yes, it can be done. The injecter should stay away from injecting directly onto the implant. Therefore, they must stay in the overlying soft tissue and use vector 90 technic.

I hope this helps, good luck !

Each provider will have the rock you, I suppose most would probably be comfortable with it. some injectors will push the needle all the way until they hit the bone. In your case, the needle would probably go into the implant. Ask your providers.
Best,
