Amount of ml required for chin filler/alternative procedure needed? (Photos)

Question

Hi, currently I am unaware of exactly how significant a change chin filler can have on the chin My current goal is to project my chin to look like the morph below but I would like to know whether such expectations are unrealistic or if another procedure is required If such results can be achieved I would like to know roughly how many ml it would take and if not whether another procedure can be taken I'm not posting front view photos but for reference my chin is quite narrow

To achieve significant changes in chin projection and contour, chin fillers can be a viable option, but the amount needed can vary based on the desired outcome and individual anatomy. Typically, 1 to 3 ml of dermal filler is used for chin augmentation, but this can be adjusted based on the degree of enhancement required.

However, if your goal is a substantial change in chin shape or projection, and fillers alone may not suffice, you might consider the following alternatives:

Chin Implant: A chin implant can provide a more dramatic and permanent change in chin projection and contour. This surgical option can be customized to achieve the desired shape and size.

Genioplasty: This surgical procedure involves repositioning the chin bone to enhance chin projection and shape. It can offer precise control over the outcome and address both aesthetic and functional concerns.

Combination Approach: In some cases, a combination of fillers for fine-tuning and surgery for structural changes might be recommended to achieve optimal results.

A thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist specializing in facial aesthetics will provide a comprehensive evaluation and help determine the most suitable approach for your specific goals. They can also provide a more accurate estimate of the filler volume required if that route is pursued.

Hi!

you would be a great candidate for chin filler. I would recommend starting with 1 syringe of filler (1ml), allowing that to settle and about 4 weeks later, reassess and see if another is needed. Chin filler can add projection as well as length to the chin, creating a sharper side profile and provide full facial balancing.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to assess somebody's candidacy for chin fillers with a single up close photo. I don't think your desire is unrealistic, so in that regard, please consider meeting with several reputable specialists for consultations. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Chin filler can definitely create noticeable improvements in profile and projection, but results vary based on individual anatomy, the amount of filler used and technique.Based on your goal, achieving a similar look may require multiple sessions or more than 1 ml of filler. For most patients looking for subtle enhancement, 1 ml is sufficient. However, for significant projection, like in the morph, 2 ml might be necessary, spaced out over multiple sessions to build volume gradually and ensure a natural look.

Thank you for your question and including pics.   For chin augmentation, the most common options are either Filler or Chin Implant.  When it comes to filler, you want to use one of the thickest fillers such as Radiesse and I always recommend doing it in stages.  If you use one of the softer fillers, or do too much at a time, it tends to spread out.   Another filler alternative is Bellafill, which is permanent.  
The alternative to fillers is a chin implant.   Chin implants come in different shapes and sizes depending on what you need, and if you don't like the implant, it can be very easily removed.
