If you are a good candidate for a small chin implant are you also a good candidate for chin augmentation with a filler, or are there some people who have a chin shape which is not suitable for augmentation with a filler, for example if you have a mentolabial sulcus which would look worse if a filler was used, but would not look worse if an implant was used?

Answer: Both Chin Implant & Filler Good Options Thank you for your question. Fillers are a good option for a relatively cost effective way to address a weak chin. It is temporary, but allows for correction of issues like a deep sulcus. Implants are a good permanent option. There is some limitation in addressing the sulcus when using an implant. For subtle augmenation, both options should work well. Best wishes.

Answer: Chin Augmentation with Implant Vs. Filler? Both are good options. A chin implant is a surgical procedure but provides permanent improvement. Filler can be performed in the office but will likely only last about 12 months. I've found that Radiesse filler treatment of the chin and cheeks looks and feels very similar to a facial implant. Therefore, it is a great option for someone who doesn't want surgery or wants to try out the look before proceeding with surgery. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS
