I would like my chin to be more v shaped and a little less square. Nothing too dramatic. I also feel as though my brow ridge is quite strong. I think this may be an issue with muscle since I constantly need to raise my brows in order to look up. Could I fill in the dent along my brow ridge with radiesse? I feel like it is very pronounced in photos, especially when I am looking up.

Answer: How much filler do I need for a V-shaped chin? Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, facial implants (cheek, chin), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years. I have performed many Chin Augmentations with dermal fillers or silastic chin implants, for over 30 years. From the photos, your chin is very weak. When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy, the lower face looks short, de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a "double chin". Proper placement of a silastic chin implant adds forward projection to the chin thereby creating harmony and balance to the lower face. Using the same incision, liposuction can be performed to reduce the fat and further shape the neck. Excess skin, from below the chin, can also be removed through the same incision. I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty. I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery. You can augment the chin with a dermal filler but this will need to be repeated making it far less "cost effective" over the years compared to a silastic chin implant.Hope this helps
