My doctor told me it’s best not to touch the chin area because it’s more prone to infection, but it looks a bit too pointy for me. Should I wait until the swelling goes down before I judge or should I try to adjust it while it’s still malleable? I wanted an anterior projection with more of a squarish chin from the frontal view. The profile view looks fine, but when I’m looking down it appears too pointy head on.

Answer: Radiesse adjustment If you just got the injection, then you may want to wait a few days to allow the inflammation and swelling to lessen. If you still have the same concerns, then you should bring them to the attention of your injector. Regular, firm massage early after injections can soften contours, either by helping reduce the swelling or mold the filler. Your practitioner may try to alter the shape manually or may instruct you on massage. Alternatively, your practitioner may be able to thoughtfully add filler around the area with greatest prominence in an attempt to achieve the "squarish chin" you desire.

Answer: Pointy chin Thank you for your question. There should be no problem with you massaging and molding that area and it should help, if you were injected in the past few days.
