I know it doesn't last as long, but is chin augmentation using Radiesse or Restylane less effective or not as natural as a surgical implant?
Answer: Why Filler vs Implant for Chin Augmentation but him A chin augmentation using an implant as the most predictable and long-lasting, permanent, results. The only reason I would recommend use of fillers would be to give you an approximate idea of what I would look like for a fuller chin in the event you were unsure if you wished to proceed with this surgery. I usually perform chin augmentation in the office under local anesthesia with oral sedation although other forms of anesthesia and certainly are available. Ir you are choosing a filler, my preference is for Radiesse, which of course is temporary.

Answer: How to enhance the chin without surgery Thank you for your question. Both Radiesse and Restylane are good options for chin augmentation, as well as Voluma for this area. Radiesse works by forming a scaffolding in the dermal tissue for quick results and stimulating the body to produce more collagen for improvements that are both natural and durable. Voluma and Radiesse can both last up to two years or longer. Restylane does not last quite as long, but does offer a nice result in the right patient. If you want something that lasts longer or produces a more dramatic effect, surgical implants are probably a better choice. I would schedule a consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess you in person and create a customized treatment plan based on your precise needs and goals.

Answer: # nofilter Honestly, these days I feel like the fillers are giving us a more natural result than the implants. Think about it more like painting as apposed to working with bricks. You also got it right. Radiesse gives us a great balance for the chin as it is one of the more structurally sound products we inject. It is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) which is the same structure as bone.If nothing more I have patients "try" the fillers. It can show you want "could be" and then if you love it we can do the implant to be more economical. Find a surgeon you trust and be clear with your goals. Best of luck,DrC

Answer: Restylane vs Radiess for Chin Augmentation A better option than Restylane for chine augmentation may be the dermal filler Radiesse. This filler is made of calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres which offers more structural support and firmness than hyaluronic acid. The final shape that is rendered will depend on how it is molded by the doctor. You will be able to remain awake and provide guidance on how you want your chin to appear. Treatments with Radiesse offer the ability to see what chin shape you would want before deciding to commit to a permanent implant if you decide to take this route in the future. I have included a link below to patient results achieved with Radiesse.
