I am scheduled to have a Radiesse injection to my chin. I have some concerns. I am getting 1 or 2 syringes injected to help augment a recessed chin and asymmetry. Is the chin area prone to swelling? Does it feel foreign like an implant or natural like my skin? And FINAL question....will it move? Without even realizing it, at night I tend to sleep on my side and prop my hand under my chin. Will this cause it to move or disfigure? THANK YOU!

Answer: Radiesse in the Chin Hello Hannah12,Although I like Radiesse as a material, I would also consider using a hyaluronic acid (HA) product like Perlane or Voluma since it is reversible. Whatever material you choose, it should still feel like your natural skin over the top of the product if injected properly. This is not a super common area to inject but it should be done very deeply past all of the soft tissue and in front of your jawbone and not in the skin itself. It may be possible that you have some mobility after the injection but it should be minimal.Lastly, another reason to consider an HA is if you are considering surgery in the near future for chin augmentation. It can be a nice product to inject as a "try out" prior to chin surgery since it is removable with another injectable product called hyaluronidase.Good luck,Michael M. Kim, MD
