How much chin filler would I need to get rid of my minor cleft chin? (photos)

Question

Im a 21 year old female and i’ve always had a minor cleft chin that dimples when I smile. When I was 3 years old, I slipped in the tub and cut my chin open. I still have a very small scar under my chin. I believe my chin might dimple when I smile because the accident and the way my chin developed as I grew up. I would love to get it filled! How many cc would fill it without giving me a pointy chin? Also any price estimates? I’m located in western New York but will travel! Thank you!

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi Allison58,
while it is difficult to determine how much product you would need without a proper consultation, you would most definitely benefit from chin and jaw line augmentation using dermal fillers.  
We like to start conservatively and, if needed, add more filler at subsequent visits.  We also noticed that you have some dimpling and pulling at your chin. This could be indicative of an overactive mentalis muscle and could be contributing to the exaggeration of your cleft chin. This can easily be addressed by placing a minimal amount of Botox to the area to help relax this muscle.  This coupled with chin augmentation would provide you with the best results and help you achieve your desired look.  
Here is a video and a link to our blog post that goes into further detail about our chin augmentation.
We hope this is helpful. Good luck and stay beautiful!

As we age, we naturally lose bone mass to the face. With this the underlying structure can alter the face making it appear concaved or give a “clefted” appearance. It is unclear how many syringe you would need without an in-person consultation, but it is usually most safe to injection 1 syringe per visit until desire volume is achieved.
Always discuss your desired outcome with your Board Certified Dermatologist or Expert Injector.

I would say that atleast one syringe should be enough. I would wait and let the swelling go down. If for some reason it was not enough you could add more in 0.5cc at a later date.
