I have always been self conscious of my round face and I'm looking to balance out the unevenness and take care of my recessed chin. I just did 20 units of Botox in the right masseter to help the unevenness and 6 units of Botox in chin to prep for next appt to have the chin augmented with filler. Looking for more recommendations or do you think I'm on the right track to achieve my ultimate goal? Thank you

Answer: Chin implant for recessed chin Fillers are temporary, and do not work very well when placed in the mandible. Fillers are usually placed for patients for soft tissue augmentation, not a bony augmentation. Chin implants work quite well for patients who have a weak and recessive chin profile, and are permanent. The implants themselves are usually placed through a small incision underneath the chin under local anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure. Chin implants are manufactured out of solid silicone, can be custom carved when necessary, and are manufactured in a large variety of sizes and shapes.

Answer: Facial Reshaping The two most important changes you can make to your face come from a chin augmentation and central facial defatting. Filler is not an ideal approach to your chin deficiency unless you simply want to test how a little bit of chin augmentation would look. Your chin is deficient in several dimensions (vertical and horizontal) and filler will not approximate the real type of chin augmentation change you really need.
