Will cheek filler balance out my short face and small chin? (photos)

Question

I have always had a very small chin and no matter how much weight I lose I carry fat around my jowl area. I have already had a rhinoplasty and injectable filler into my chin which helped with side profile. My question is will filler in the higher portion of my cheek area improve my face shape and make me more 'chiseled' or will it make me look even chubbier and wider?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Facial sculpting and contouring of the face can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Contour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello, and thanks for your question. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to suggest a specific treatment plan based on the provided photos. However, I think you would benefit from more volume in your chin, perhaps with filler vs. a permanent chin implant. I also think you would benefit from botox to your masseters (chewing muscles) to thin them, as they appear thickened. I would not add any volume to your cheeks or lips. To minimize the risk of complications and maximize the likelihood of a favorable outcome, I recommend that you only get treated by a well-trained and experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.

Cheek fillers do not have to be injected in excess. As results with dermal fillers are immediate, you can have the filler injected in sessions. Cheek fillers improve lower face contour by tightening and lifting the middle face. This can improve your jowl area. If you want tighter skin without volume, you can explore thread lift for the cheeks.

Yes, in short your problem can be corrected with strategic placement of fillers. The EXACT placement of filler such as Juvederm can only be determined by 3 D examination. Namely before I place fillers, I take 5-10 minutes examining my patient at all different angles to study anterior projection as well as what they look at 2 D namely front on. In your case, fillers in the jawline area, and a tiny bit of filler in your cheek area can help with jowl. In some cases I combine fillers with energy devices like Ultherapy to help LIFT the jowls. Tailored solutions are always the best, Dr Davin LimLaser and aesthetic dermatologistBrisbane, Australia.
