Can Ellanse be used in the chin for shaping and creating volume in the same way as HA fillers?

Question

I have used Restylane for 10 years in my chin to create volume, and my injector is very careful when she inject it because i like the shape to be in a certain way. But is it possible with ellanse to get it as precisely as you can get the restylane? And can Restylane and Ellanse be mixed or used in the same place (chin)? I would like to try Ellanse because its long lasting compared to Restylane, but don't know if it does the same trick, and its scary because it is not reversible id im not happy.

ellanse is not approved in the US because its considered potentially harmful.  bellafill is and can be a more permanent solution compared to HA fillers for chin augmentation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi!
Ellanse can be moulded and sculpted after injection, similar to Restylane HA fillers.
Its not recommended to mix both fillers at the same injection site.
If you are very particular about the way the fillers look and often ask for fillers to be dissolved, then Ellanse may not be the ideal product for you, unlike HA fillers Ellanse cannot be dissolved

Radiesse is a calcium based filler which has been shown to stimulate collagen production.  It also comes in 1.5cc syringes. So if you want a longer lasting result and want something different than the HA fillers that's the one I'd recommend to try.
