Hi, due to health issues i'm unable to go under the knife as i have a serious condition which means it would be dangerous for me to have surgery. I have a very bad receding chin and really would like to resolve this with a chin filler. What i would like to know is it possible to achieve the same results with a filler as you would with a chin implant?
