Can I fix my small pointed chin with a non-surgical solution? (Photo)

Question

I have a sharp angled heart shaped face that I feel distracts and would like a softer less angular chin. A chin that doesn't distract but balances my face. My chin is actually quite small and you can see from the profile photos. I am not looking for an oval chin implant, I want to keep my natural shape but fill in the "negative space" or depressed areas on the sides that are very prevalent from the front view.

The  non- surgical options would involve placing injections that are temporary in nature on the sidewalls of the chin to give added width to that area. A permanent augmentation would be performed  by placing a small chin implant that only gives lateral width, and not forward projection. This type of implant is manufactured by Implantech  and is called a MIttelman  pre-jowl implant. For many examples and more information, please see the link and video below

Yes, there are non-surgical solutions to help fill the depressed areas along the lateral jaw line.  There a a number of injectable fillers that can correct the depression without surgery.  Voluma is one of these fillers which can work well in this area.  The fillers can and do resorb over time but the Voluma can last up to two years.  Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience with injectable fillers.  Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
