Chin filler and hyaluronidase left dent and line in chin area, will my chin ever be the same? What are my options? (photos)

Question

Hello there, I'm new to fillers. Earlier this year, I went in for the first time to get a few minor fillers in a few spots that I wanted to correct with no issues. My injector kept mentioning a line in my chin. Thought she meant a wrinkle and I gave her the green light. After two syringes, I realized I made a mistake. 2+ weeks later, the filler was not settling in at all! I went to a doctor to dissolve. 1. Will my chin ever be the same? 2 There are weird lines and a dent. Can this be fixed?

Hi there! In some patients, hyaluronidase can cause deformation of the surrounding tissues. It can be permanent in certain instances. If it's only been a few weeks, I would give it some more time to see how things transpire. If there's still a problem, the options would be placing a different filler in smaller amounts. Fat transfer is another option that can work well. Finally, Morpheus8 microneedling RF works great for smoothing and toning the collagen of the skin. Hope that helps!

Hi @JT.UA. I recommend Morpheus 8. Morpheus 8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting.

Best of luck,
