Chin has become very red after using fillers. Is there anything I can do to fix the redness without losing the filler?

Question

I had Voluma in my chin, and the results were great. However, over the years I have noticed my chin has become very red. It is not anything dangerous but I don't like having a bright red circle on my chin where the filler is. My injector told me that filler can push the blood vessels to the surface of the skin causing redness. She didn't offer any solution though. I just have a big red circle on my chin. Is there anything I can do to fix this without losing the filler?

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.

You did not post photos, but may have developed rosacea. I would suggest going to a dermatologist and be checked.

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

Usually the vessels causing erythema (redness) are not large enough to inject (sclerotherapy).  I feel your best bet is to have laser therapy which will cauterize the vessels in the skin and solve the issue.  Seek out either a plastic surgeon or dermatologist that has vascular lasers available at their office.

Hello and thank you for your question. We would always recommend a face to face consult however in this case a vascular laser may be a good option to help the surface redness.
We hope that answers your question. Best wishes

Hi there,

Consider a vascular laser such as the V beam or the Cutera EXCEL V.  Also you can see a vascular surgeon and the can possibly use hypertonic saline as well.

Best of luck!
