Perioral mound lift and chin enhancement using injectable fillers in 19 year old patient? (Photos)

Question

I have just recently consulted with two different cosmetic nurses about options to lift my lower cheek area. Both recommended cheek agumentation, while only one thought filler in the chin would be a good idea. Also, the right side of my jaw is wider than the left- it doesn't particularly bother me, however, both nurses recommended Botox in the masseters- would that have any positive effect on the lower cheek issue? Also, one nurse recommended Botox in the neck bands to sharpen jawline. Thank you

It is difficult to determine whether you would benefit from cheek fillers from you photos. In profile, your chin is recessed and I prefer a chin implant over fillers for the chin. I don't see any platysmal bands so I am not sure why someone suggested Botox for your neck. I have used Botox for masseter muscle reduction but the effects are minimal. Cheek augmentation with fillers is a good way to help determine if you like this appearance. Good luck

Dear Bri_anna,cheek augmentation with fillers often has great results and patients are very satisfied. Also, in case you don't get the desired look, a hyaluronidase can be used to reverse the effects of fillers. To get more details, you should consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Yes, injectable fillers can be used for a perioral mound lift and chin enhancement depending on the specific situation. Fillers like Radiesse, which is semi permanent, is a good choise for this type of treatment.

Thank you for
your question Bri_anna. I understand your concern. Fillers are used to
restore lost volume in and enhance the appearance of the face. Fillers such as Voluma can be placed in the upper cheek to restore lost volume. This will also pull up on the lower face addressing concerns such as excess fat. Botox can be placed in the masseter muscle to contour the lower face. Botox can be placed in the platysmal bands to reduce the appearance of neck bands. I prefer the Nefertiti lift where Botox is placed just under the jawline. This relaxes the upper portion of the platysma muscle which pulls down on the jawline. Fillers can be placed in the chin for a soft chin and Kybella can be used to address submental fullness. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations.  Good luck!
