Are fillers a viable option for my recessed chin? (photos)

Question

So i’ve always thought I needed a chin implant but I just noticed that the projection of the chin isn’t actually that bad. It’s more my lower lip and labiomental fold thats recessed. I know you could fix that with jaw surgery but that’s not really an option for me. Could fillers be injected in those areas to create a better side profile?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Fillers are a great choice for those wanting correction for this area without surgery.  The treatment is done in the office with final results seen after 2 weeks.  The effects will wear off gradually over approximately one year depending on the product selected.  See an expert injector near you to learn more.

Dear Optimistic766352,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from chin augmentation. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

The short answer is that HA fillers are routinely used these day by experienced cosmetic dermatologists to enhance chin and lip projection to create greater harmony between the projections of the chin, lips and nose in profile. Treating the lips and chin should not take more than about twenty minutes and the results typically elicit an immediate "Wow!" reaction. Hope this helps.

Hyaluronic Acid fillers are an option to augment your chin area. It might take more than one session to reach your goal, but an improvement can be seen immediately. Of course you need to know about the risks of fillers and that they will be resorbed with time.
