Can chin filler migrate?

Question

I got chin/jawline fillers done back in July of this year. Is it possible for the filler to have migrated upward to my masseteric region?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

While filler can migrate, placement of filler along the jaw line may also create the illusion of fullness in other areas of the face. It is recommended you review with your provider so that a thorough examination can occur, allowing a discussion for treatment options going forward.

Hi Safarian, 
Your masseter (chewing muscle) attaches to your lower jaw. and spans most of your cheek in front of your ear. If you have noticeable area that looks fuller especially during animation (big smiles or when you are biting down), then there is a chance that the jaw line filler may have migrated. It all depends on where the product was injected, what plane it was injected and a number of other factors. The best plan is to be evaluated by a seasoned injector. That way they can see the changes that happen on animation. Best of luck!
