I have tried medphore and silicone chin implants, but wasnt happy with the results as it made my jaw look wider, and thats what Im trying to avoid. I got the last one removed, and ive had hyaluronic fillers in the bottom of the chin ever since. I get it done every 12-18 months (1 ml), but I want something more lasting, and have been thinking about getting fat injections instead. Would that be a good option? I just want some more volume in bottom of the chin so it get the more "pointy look".

Answer: Fat and Filler Augmentation of the Chin Fat can be used to augment the chin but it is somewhat unpredictable since to be able to maintain the fullness it has to survive and persist in its new location. Moreover, fat being fat, if you gain weight, the increase in volume will be seen in ALL fat cells including those in your chin.With a history of MedPor and Silicone implants followed by Hyaluronic fillers, the chin areas is definitely scarred with no reliable blood supply. This may make fat survival very unpredictable, So as long as you understand and accept that fat grafting may be a failure in your case you can certainly try it. Personally, I would use Radiesse which the optimal filler for this area and it outlasts HA fillers.Consult with your plastic surgeon.Good LuckPeter Aldea MD

Answer: Chin augmentation Chin augmentation with filler should use a firm filler as the chin needs to be firm and not soft and smushy as it would be if you had fat transfer. Please note that Radiesse is a great alternative to hyaluronic fillers as it is firmer and lasts longer (upto 2 years).
