Recessed jaw and chin - Can fillers fix my profile? (photos)

Question

I think the main problem with my profile is the recessed jaw and chin. If this is correct, could fillers or implants help?

Thank you for your question and photos. Chin augmentation via injectable dermal fillers is an excellent option for improving the appearance of a weak or recessed chin. Some patients may also find a combination of dermal fillers and collagen stimulators, such as Sculptra, adds volume to the chin and increases its projection while making the jawline appear more defined. 
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced expert injector. They will be able to discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals with you to help you decide on the best course of action.

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Given your young age, you may wish to consider a long-term option such as a mandibular advancement or chin implant. Fillers can be tried first if you'd like to "dip your toes in" and give you an idea as to what you make look like.
Before considering permanent changes, make sure that your bite/dentition is normal and doesn't require any orthognathic work. See a dentist and/or oral surgeon. 
If everything is okay from that standpoint, consult with an experienced surgeon to give you the pros and cons of mandibular advancement vs chin implant.

An implant or chin fillers would help address your concern.  Fillers would be a great place to begin because you can go slowly and build up to a look you want.  HA fillers can also be dissolved if you are unhappy with the result.  See an experienced injector near you to learn more.

The short answer is that in the hands of an experienced injector, robust HA fillers can be used to straighten, strengthen, define and masculinize the jawline and can also contour the chin to increase projection, broaden and create a more masculine look. Both treatments can be performed in one twenty-minute treatment session and typically evoke an immediate "Wow!" response. Make sure to consult with an experienced board certified cosmetic dermatologist injector and best of luck.
