Is Radiesse a good choice for jaw line contour?

petquackFeb 8, 2014
I had a chin augmentation done a year ago and I can say I love it . It compliments my front profile of my face but I still dont like the side profile. Im happy with my jaw line and dont really want a big change on my jaw line but I seek more definition . Is Radieese a great for this ? What's the average price range for fillers? Since i spent quite a bit of money on my chin augmentation. Is this cheaper long term then a jaw augmentation ? Male 32 years old

Thank you for your question and photos. Some swelling of the face is not uncommon after Radiesse injections.  It typically resolves within a week.  Higher volume injections will obviously cause more swelling. If your swelling is not better after a week, then it is reasonable to seek...

Radiesse is a long-lasting filler, but it is not permanent. It typically survives anywhere from 12-18 months after being injected. There are cases where the filler survives for up to two years, but it is not permanent.

Treating the pre- and post-jowl sulcus (not apparently needed in this case) in order to straighten and define and jowly jawline is by no means a new procedure. Experienced injectors have been doing this for years. I have before and after photographs in my own personal collection that date back...
