Too much chin filler - should I have it dissolved or blended into jaw line? (photos)

Question

Ive got chin filler a year ago. It’s a way to much and it’s only located in the chin area and not blended in the whole jawline. Is it better to completely dissolve it or is it possible to blend it with filler in to the jawline?

Hello, hope you are well. It depends in part on what type of filler material was used to augment the chin in the first place. The only type of filler that can be dissolved is HA (hyaluronic acid). HA also dissipates naturally over a year or so. Many injectors use different longer lasting dermal fillers in the chin--the most common alternative being a product like Radiesse which is CaHA (calcium hydroxylapatite) which cannot be dissolved. These products last longer and are semi-permanent because they stimulate collagen formation around the injection site. You should find out from your past injector what material was used so you know what your options are. If it cannot be dissolved, it may make sense to a careful correction of contour irregularities with additional filler to 'blend' it as you describe. Lastly, if it is Radiesse, you can allow additional time to pass for it to dissipate more before doing anything.
Best,Dr. Tower

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.
