Is it possible to use dermal fillers for jaw bone loss due to losing teeth?

Question

I'm 29 years old and I've had all of my wisdom teeth and lower molars extracted due to decay. My jaw bone has shrunk significantly because of this. It's so distressing and I am very self-conscious and unhappy with my appearance. Would it be possible to use dermal fillers or a chin/jaw implant to restore volume to my face and jaw at this point? Thank you!

Yes, fillers such as Sculptra Aesthetic, Restylane Lyft and Radiesse can be used to correct for bone loss. They are commonly used to improve jawline definition.

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is possible to use dermal fillers to replace bone loss. I have used Restylane Lyft, Bellafill, Radiesse, and Voluma along the jaw with good success. I have also used micronized fat (ALMI) combined with PRP along the jaw line.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
