Dermal Fillers On Top of Chin Implant?

User Avatar
FullOfJoyJun 1, 2014
I have a small chin implant that I like, but now wish I had even more projection on the profile than I first wanted when selecting an implant. I do NOT want to have another surgery to replace my current implant (had a difficult and scary recovery the first time), so I'm just wondering if it's okay/safe to have dermal fillers like Radiesse injected on top of the implant to give a little more volume? And if yes, what would you recommend? Thank you!

Radiesse is, in general, an excellent treatment for exactly what you're describing.  It typically remains where it's placed and produces a subtle but noticeable augmentation of the regions treated and, once settled, it does not suddenly shift to the side, as you're concerned it might. ...

Hi Raf12, Thank you for your question! Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation is a great procedure for both correcting asymmetry and adding projection to balance out facial features. I've had amazing results enhancing the jawline and chin using a combination of Juvéderm Voluma (lasts up to 24 months), ...

A real witches chin requires surgery to eliminate. You may only have prejowl depressions which can be helped with fillers. A facelift with correction of sagging skin and jowls will give the best result since this is the problem.
