Hi D,Unlike chin implants, long term use of dermal fillers such as Radiesse does not result in bone resorption as seen with chin implants.  In fact, Radiesse is a bio stimulating filler, resulting in increased collagen production where it is injected even after it is absorbed over time.  Good luck and be well.Michael A.

The reason this occurs with implants is due to the pressure the implant causes on the bone. It is placed in a subperiosteal plane. The filler is place superficial to this and is not as firm as an implant. I don't think you have to worry about fillers or Radiesse causing boney erosion in the chin.

Hello and thank you for your question. No fillers do not cause harmful side effects after long term use. Fillers are liquid and do not put pressure on bones that would cause bone erosion. Best wishes.

This will not happen because the filler is a liquid material and does not put pressure directly on the bone the way implants do. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD
