How much chin filler do I need? (Photo)

Receding chin or micrognathia along with hyperactive mentalis and submental fullness requires a careful evaluation of the face from all angles, and discussion of pros and cons of both surgical and non surgical options.The surgical correction such as chin implant, submental liposuction  would be a long lasting and more cost effective option. Non surgical options such as Kybella for submental fullness, Botox injection for hyperactive Mentalis muscle, and high G prime fillers such as lyft or Voluma would be a great short term alternative. 

"A formal evaluation would be needed to determine what's best. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, so we perform a non-surgical chin augmentation treatment with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse, Voluma, BellaFill as well as Sculptra are injected into the area, improving the overall appearance of the lower face and balancing the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour and project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline and improve the chin crease.

Implants are still a great option once you are 100% positive that you are ready for a permanent enhancement.​ I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert; our practice is located right here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer"

Your chin is quite recessive, but you may be happy with just two syringes of Voluma to bring your chin more in line with your lips. Better to underfill and add more later, than to overfill and be unhappy. I’d also suggest Kybella or CoolMini to remove your double chin; that will improve your profile, too. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will allow you to get the stronger, cleaner profile you want.

You have a few options to improve the symmetry of your chin and jawline. If you’re not sure you’re ready for surgery, but still want to improve and strengthen your chin and jawline, I’d suggest augmenting your chin with Sculptra and/or Voluma. It may take 2 syringes to get the projection you want. If you like your new look, you can make it permanent with a chin implant. I hope that helps.

1-2 cc (syringes) of Vollure to enhance the shape and protrusion is a good place to begin. As this is an advanced procedure, please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.
