Radiesse filler for deep vertical acne scar in middle of chin it's about a inch long?

Question

Hi I have a deep acne scar on my chin that is vertical and is about a inch long and is about as wide as a pencil. I was told this filler would be the best. Is there any reason why this filler shouldn't be used on acne scars? It kinda looks like I have a "butt" chin if that helps too.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Lady45788 Hello Neighbor! thank you for your question.  While a photo could be helpful and in person consultation is necessary to determine your best course of action.  While Radiesse, Voluma, Juvederm could all be use to fill in an acne scar, only Bellafill is FDA approved for acne scar treatments.  Bellafill is also the only one of these fillers with a 5 year FDA approval.  Most scars, especially deep ones, need more then one modality for best improvement, for example concurrent venus viva treatments.  I would be happy to see you for consultation in either my West Bloomfield or Sterling Heights locations.

Hello and thanks for your question!

Without a picture, it's very difficult to tell you what the best treatment is. Radiesse can work but if used too superficially, nodules can form which you will be able to feel. I often use a hyaluronic acid filler to the dermal layer.

Other options include dermabrasion or laser to the acne scar or subscision- a picture would shed a lot of light on your particulars.

Hope this helps and Good Luck!

Dr. Robb

Radiesse® is ideal for shaping and enhancing bony areas such as the chin. For more information please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.

Radiesse can be used for this acne scar especially in conjunction with subcision to loosen the scar. Many other fillers can be used but I caution you about Belafill. even though it is approved for acne scars it is permanent and the results are not. I have seen too many side-effects from this filler
