Can I get chin filler for a more V-shaped chin?

Question

I used to have a V-shape chin before sliding genioplasty. After surgery my chin was made too short & square with a deep mentolabial sulcus. Can I get filler to get my chin to what it used to be? My lip is also asymmetrical, can that too be fixed with filler? Please I would like to know my options! Thank you!

Chin injections are an excellent way to address the issues that you are having with the post operative appearance of your chin.  Dermal fillers such as Radiesse will take care of the deep labio mental sulcus and add projection to the specific areas of your chin that you would like treated.  I would not use Radiesse in the lips but you may find that after chin injections are performed that your lips will appear less asymmetric as there will now be support for the lower lip.

Dear dissatisfied92,I'm sorry to hear you are unhappy with your genioplasty result. Yes, HA filler can be used to soften your labiomental crease and increase the sharpness of your chin. Make sure you injector is experienced and qualified. Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.Certified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic Surgeons

Yes, the chin and your lips can be improved with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. This will allow you to try on the look before committing to a permanent option like fat or implants. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Fillers in the chin can help contour the chin. You will need 1-2 mL of filler to start and obviously you need to maintain it. The second option is surgery to contour the jaw and chin and augment the chin if needed. Fillers can improve the lip slightly but an exam is needed to give you more specific details. Best wishes

A hyaluronic acid based filler like Restylane Lyft could be injected into the chin to improve chin projection and definition and to soften the mental crease. Filler could also be injected into the lips to improve the lip asymmetry.

Hi,It is possible to add vertical length to the chin with dermal filler. Also, adding filler directly into the mentolabial fold can soften it up. I recommend visiting with an injection specialist for a more comprehensive discussion of your aesthetic goals.Best,Mehdi Sina, MD

Hello,
I think this is achievable with dermal filler, although I would definitely recommend you speak with your previous surgeon to make sure they were agreeable to you having filler after surgery. I see a lot of Asian patients who are often keen for a V shape and a lengthened chin. It might take a couple of sessions and be prepared for a reasonable about of filler as the chin often needs a decent amount of filler.
