What is the Best Dermal Filler for Chin/jaw Augmentation?

Question

I have been considering a chin/jaw augmentation and wanted to know what are the best/longest lasting fillers to use. Also can all the dermal fillers be applied thru a microdroplet technique(like silikon 1000), or are some fillers less precise and have to be applied a different way, thanks

Thank you for your good question. Filler is an effective way of adding projection to the chin and definition to the jawline. I often use Voluma or Radiesse in this area, to achieve natural, long-lasting results. Voluma is a hyaluronic acid filler with a more robust consistency that makes it perfect for adding volume to key areas of the face. Radiesse is a collagen stimulator that works by creating a scaffolding under the skin for immediate results and stimulating collagen production to extend and enhance the improvement. I encourage you to see a very experienced, board-certified injector for further assessment and treatment recommendations. Also, if you decide you want a more permanent solution in the future, I offer both chin implants and custom mandibular implants which offer the same, natural results with permanent benefits in most patients.

Hi Bruce. For a non-surgical chin and jaw augmentation treatment, we often use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa or Radiesse as well as Sculptra. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. Fillers can also project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline, and improve the chin crease. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi there! 
There are many good products for chin / jawline augmentation. Personally, I use a volumising higher density product such as Juvederm Voluma. This also remains soft and contours beautifully as it sits so naturally under the skin. I use microcannulae for a lot of lower face work however the method of injection vs cannula is mostly dependant on practitioners preference. 
Hope this helps!

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  I would advocate use of a thicker hyaluronic acid dermal filler such as Voluma to achieve your goals.  The thicker fillers allow for deeper placement, a more natural outcome, and more structure.  Hope this helps.

First of all, there is no substitute for a chin implant. It is permenant and in the long run, less expensive. However if you wnated to start with a filler, I would use radiesse or sculptra to start with. Both are transient and will be gone by 12 to 18 months.

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

To some degree I would correct your terminology and state that you really need a subcutaneous filler rather than dermal filler. That is being technical. However, it means that you would benefit more from fillers that are intended for deeper injections. In my opinion Silikon is generally not ideal for this purpose. At this point in time I prefer Radiesse but I do use Restylane and sometimes fat for longterm correction

Some people respond better to a particular type of filler. Overall any hyaluronic acid should give you your desired result if injected properly. Moreover, there are different factors that determine how to appropriately administer a filler.

Vibha Gambhir, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question.  The best filler for the chin/jawline would be juvederm voluma.  Voluma is a thicker filler that works beautifully to help contour and sculpt the face.  Voluma can be injected via cannula if your provider feels that is the best option.  While cannula can help decrease pain and swelling it is not the preferred method for these areas.  Typically, we do not use cannula in the chin or the jawline for more precision while injecting.  Voluma can last up to 18 + months and for a lot of patients up to 2 years.  Consult with an experienced, board certified provider to discuss your expectations and options.  Good luck to you!

Remember its "the Filler" not the filler that is most important. A high G Prime filler is needed in this area. I have trademarked my technique - reJAWvenation - and the fillers I use are: Lyft, Defyne, Bellafill, Radiesse. It all depends on the patients needs and desires. The jaws on patients under 40 or 45 are easy. It's the jawlines of patients above 45 where the technique is more complex, but not difficult. It can take up to 6-8 syringes in a patient in their 60s. I use cannulas almost always for these corrections for improved safety and less bruising/downtime.

Hi Bruce732,Thank you for your question about Non-Surgical Chin and Jawline Augmentation using Dermal Fillers. This Non-Surgical treatment will add projection and definition to your chin, as well as strengthen your jawline for a better balance to your overall features. I've had amazing results enhancing the jawline and chin using a combination of Juvéderm Voluma (lasts up to 24 months), and Radiesse (lasts up to 18 months) for this treatment. Many prefer this Non-Surgical method over surgery because the results are immediate, down-time is minimal and treatment can be tailored to meet your specific goals. 
Non-Surgical Chin and Jawline Augmentation is a technically challenging procedure and should only be performed by an Expert Injector.  Be sure to do your homework and find an Injector with demonstrated patient results and experience with this procedure.  
I've created a video about Non-Surgical Chin and Jawline Augmentation to address some frequently asked questions about the treatment.

I hope this information helps in your research!
