Not Enough Juvederm in Chin Crease?

The labiomental crease, between the lower lip and chin, can be a narrow but deep crevace anchored to the deep tissue. Sometimes filler injected under the crease might spread to the tissue on the sides of the crease, thereby making that skin more puffy and making the crease more noticable because of the height difference in the crease and the adjacent elevation.  Subcision may be done to loosen the crease from the underlying attachment immediately prior to the injection of the filler, and even with that, the crease may not fill enough. Sometimes we just have to  say we've done our best but the anatomy won't allow us to provide the result we're seaking. Lasers don't even help that much for those stubborn creases.

Hi Anon,

The horizontal chin crease is sometimes a difficult area to fill.  Check back with your injecting physician.  Good luck and be well.

The administration of fillers is a highly technical procedure. There are so many factors to consider to determine if you are a good candidate for it, the best filler to use, the right amount, etc. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.
