I've always hated my side profile, I am 23 years old and concerned about my nose and my jawline. I want to know if there's any fillers or injections that can help with my profile without surgery? I hate how my face looks and I'm always insecure putting my hair up in a ponytail because of my pointy nose and small jawline. I want to look normal!

Answer: Injections for nose and chin Hi ICY. Yes, there are injection options to avoid surgical procedures. With that said, you are an excellent candidate for a chin implant. There are a couple trade-offs with using filler for the chin. It lasts usually between 9-12 months (with Radiesse) so you have to repeat the procedure. Also, because of the shape of the chin, you would need a fair amount of product to build it outward. 1.5 CC's of Radiesse would be the minimum starting point, but you would probably want another syringe of the same volume shortly thereafter. Finally, it's hard to see the nose in your photos, but we often sculpt and shape the nose to avoid rhinoplasty. See the link below for an example of nose shaping with dermal fillers.

Answer: Improving profile without surgery Synthetic fillers and natural fat can be used to enhance facial structures. They offer much less risk of complications and discomfort than surgical treatments using implants or repositioning bone. In the right hands they may allow for better sculpting of the face. Injectables can not correct occlusion problems and may not achieve the same amount of projection as surgical techniques. This is especially true if the patient has tight, limited amount of skin and soft tissues in the area needing augmentation.Injections do not "burn bridges". There is no harm in using injections and proceeding to surgery later if they fail to achieve the results you want.
