What filler is best to use in chin to avoid necrosis? And how big is the risk to get necrosis?

Question

I've had a chinimplant in the past, and I got it removed 5 years ago. I've used fillers such as Perlane and Voluma in the chin to make my chin look more pointy untill now. But I rescent day got aware of the fact that fillers can cause necrosis. When my nurse saw me, she immediately removed the filler with hyaluronidase. She said I had gotten to much, and she was afraid of necrosis. What filler is most safe to use? And is it safe as long as i don't get too much? I need something who gives volume.

I have not experienced or heard of chin necrosis from fillers but I would stay with the HA fillers because they are reversible. I am curious as to the reason you had the chin implant removed? My experience with Silicone chin implants has always been very positive and I have not had any patients request removal of implants that I have placed. It is my preferred treatment for the chin. Best of luck.

Certain areas are at a higher risk of skin necrosis than others. In experienced hands, necrosis after chin fillers is rare. Any filler can theoretically cause necrosis. More important is the knowledge and skill of the injector and their ability to not only treat the volume loss, but also appropriately manage complications should they occur. Chin volumization with fillers is an advanced procedure and I would not trust this area to a nurse. Hope this helps answer your question.

Hello,

Any filler can cause tissue necrosis if injected improperly. Injecting too much product or injecting into a vessel can lead to tissue injury. Voluma is effective at augmenting the chin area and lasts a relatively long time, but it is most important to see a doctor who has a complete understanding of anatomy and knows how to avoid, treat, and manage any complications that may arise from filler injection. Best of luck.

Voluma is the best chin filler to use. As long as your Injector is experienced and aspirates during the procedure the risk of necrosis is very small. Seek an experienced Injector who has done chin filler many times.
