Could dermal filler fix this ident on my jaw? (Photos)

Question

My face used to be more symmetrical I’ll include a photo. Can filler fix this huge indent on my jaw? It was from a staph infection and it basically left this indent/volume loss

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Hello, and thank you for your question. Yes, filler injections offer a nonpermanent way to safely improve the dent on your jawline. When injected, it can restore lost volume and sculpt the contours of your jawline. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable, experience injector. Such experts will know the right fillers to use and how much you need. They will also know the most advanced injection techniques and have an aesthetic eye for facial balance, helping you achieve the most natural-looking results. During your consultation, your provider can assess your facial profile, recommend the best cosmetic approach, and ensure the best possible results.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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.

The dent in your jaw is a natural fusion point between the left and right sides of your mandible. Please see a board-eligible or board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and discussing potential options.

We are always our worst critics, right? I see the indention you are referring to. Filler can be used for many different things, "filling" imperfections in, is one of them!

Danielle Shanley, MD · Answer

This is a great question and I would recommend a consult in person but it looks to me that filler would be a great option! Good luck!
