Hiya. I had a chin augmentation 2 years ago. Doctor used 8mm implant. But I m not 100 percent happy with the results. I want a 12mm implant. I contacted the same doctor he said there is more risk with a bigger implant ( 12mm). Instead he said he can use collagen filler injection approx 2mm of it to get a projection of about 4mm and it will last for 2 years. Although I trust his judgement , to some extent, but I just can't buy this 4mm projection that will last for 2 years theory Please guide me.

The degree of your microgenia (lack of chin projection) would require a lot of Radiesse which is only a temporary fix so I would not recommend it. You would do better with a chin implant if you want a simple fix. When Radiesse is injected properly it should not cause your brow to fall.
