It is possible to reverse chin augmentation done using hyaluronic acid fillers such as restylane, juvederm, or perlane. An enzyme (hyaluronidase) can be injected to dissolve the filler if you want the augmentation reversed. Other fillers such as Radiesse can't be reversed but will dissipate on their own with time.
Hello, and sorry you are not happy with your procedure. The enzyme hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve filler if you are unhappy with the end result. Was too much injected, or are you just not happy with the general appearance of your chin? I would recommend visiting the physician who performed your augmentation and expressing your concerns. He or she should be able to provide you with the best advice on how to improve the issue. Thank you and best of luck!
There are several different fillers that could be used to augment the chin. The only ones that could be easily reversed would be any of the hyaluronic acid fillers, like Restylane and Juvederm. These can be reversed with an injection of a medicine into the area. There are other fillers that would last longer, but they would not be able to be reversed. Most would just take time to dissipate.

Chin implants don't tend to move without a significant amount of trauma. The implants don't merge with bone either. Rather, there is some data that bone resorption can occur at the interface between the implant and the underlying jaw but this does not typically create any issues. I hope this...
The force generated by a hook or an upper cut, or for that matter a straight jab, will displace a chin implant whether it is anchored with a screw or not. For that matter, if one engages in MMA, being choked out can also lead to implant displacement. The reason I know the above...
Hello, and congrats on scheduling your surgery! Chin implants yield fantastic results, and I'm sure you'll be very happy. Each surgeon typically has their own protocol with post-operative care following a chin augmentation. After one week, you should be fine with ointment and a small bandage...
