How much of an issue is bone resorption with a chin implant?

A formal evaluation would be needed to determine what's best. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, so we perform a non-surgical chin augmentation treatment with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse, Voluma, BellaFill as well as Sculptra are injected into the area, improving the overall appearance of the lower face and balancing the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour and project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline and improve the chin crease.

Implants are still a great option once you are 100% positive that you are ready for a permanent enhancement.​ I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert; our practice is located right here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer

You are referring to a natural biologic response to all chin implants, known as passive settling. This is seen with all chin implants, regardless of the material, in which the implant will settle into the bone a bit to relieve the pressure of an implant placed into a tissue space in which it was not made to have. This is a self limiting process and does not result in any chin bone weakening.
