Question

I really like idea of permanent fillers and I've seen some doctors using silikon for under eye bags and nasiolabial folds. Has silikon 1000 ever been used to augment the chin and jaw angles

The use of permanent fillers, like silicone, Bellafil, and Alcamid, is understandably very enticing. to achieve permanent corrections. However, there are real risks associated with this approach. For one thing, complications, like disfiguring nodules and granulomas, may not necessarily occur immediately after treatment. They may, in fact, appear five, ten or even twenty years after treatment, provoked by some manipulation of the injected area by simple things like dental work. And since the fillers are foreign substances and permanent, and there is no dissolving enzyme to remove them, these complications can be very difficult to treat even surgically without leaving scars. What's more, the normal tissues, such as skin, muscle and bone do change with the passage of time, so what may look nice right after treatment may look quite odd or unsightly twenty years later when the tissues surrounding the permanent filler implants change with age. So, bottom line, be very cautious before falling for the understandably tempting "siren song" of the word "permanent."  Hope this helps.

Silikon-1000 is an oil, not a gel filler, so you don't get as much jaw and chin definition or projection compared to HA fillers. If someone would benefit from subtle chin augmentation, in our experience, microdroplet Silikon-1000 works well for someone who wants a permanent result. Check out the example in the link below. Thank you. Dr Joseph

I wouldnt suggest it, silikon is a pyrogen and should be used in small volumes if you are a candidate it can cause fevers, swellings and migration in larger area migrations. bellafill, radiesse and other fillers or implants do well in these areas.  Best, Dr. Emer.
