Will fillers be able to do reduce/reshape my chin? (photos)

ads_07Mar 23, 2015
Hi all. I have a real issue with my profile. Mainly my chin, as my nose I can deal with. From the front I'm quite an effeminate looking guy with a very androgynes face witch I love, but I feel from the side my chin just takes that all away and I really hate it and it does get me down. I'm new to this site, and new to the world of fillers, etc. Was wondering if there was any non-surgical solution to my problem? Thank you. Adam.

Thank you for your question. It's hard to tell from your photo. However, there is always a chance of bruising and minor swelling with any type of filler. This usually dissipates after a couple of weeks. We wish you the best!

It is hard to tell from your photo what can be done, but fillers like Radiesse and Sculptra work great on the chin.  If you want something more permanent, Artefill can be performed safely as well, with the proper injector.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. I often use fillers to augment the chin when a patient doesn't want to undergo surgery for a chin implant. Both Radiesse and Voluma are good choices for this area, with results that can last up to two years or even longer in some cases. The quantity will depend on...

The degree of your microgenia (lack of chin projection) would require a lot of Radiesse which is only a temporary fix so I would not recommend it. You would do better with a chin implant if you want a simple fix. When Radiesse is injected properly it should not cause your brow to fall.

Hi Kachela.  Chin injections tend to be pretty straightforward, easy and not a lot of pain.  If anything, we would use a triple numbing cream, Lidocaine, Benzocaine, Tretracaine mix at 30% and a cold pack.  Nothing else is required.To see before and after photos of chin injections...

It sounds like you will need to have more filler injected to get optimal results.  Swelling occurs after injections and usually subsides within 3-4 days.   A full treatment of that area should last you 6-12 months.
