Hello, I am getting chin filler soon and I have been researching about the facial arteries and the risks involved. Is it safe to say that in conclusion, generally the chin is an extremely low risk area to have fillers injected?
Answer: Reducing your risk with injectable treatments I appreciate your concern. The chin does tend to be lower risk than areas like the forehead and nose. Nonetheless, any filler injection on any area of face always carries a risk of skin necrosis, and rarely, blindness. The skill and experience of your doctor cannot be overstated when ensuring your treatment is both safe and successful, no matter where the fillers are placed. Make sure the physician you choose has board certification and extensive training in injectable techniques to ensure an optimal outcome.

Answer: Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation with Injectable Fillers -- Radiesse, Sculptra, Surgical Implants, See an Expert Thank you for your question! 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 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

Answer: Would the chin be one of the safest areas to have fillers? Any injection can cause temporary side effects, such as bruising, swelling and redness. It is very rare to develop severe side effects from fillers, but I would say some of the worst possible severe side effects would be skin necrosis or blindness. I would say that the risk of developing either of these issues would be extremely unlikely when treating the chin area.

Answer: Chin filler Filler injections are a medical procedure. As such, they all have risks. Anatomically, the face is very complex and certain areas are more prone to side effects such as the “T zone” ( forehead and nose) than others. Common side effects include: bruising, bleeding and swelling. Other more devastating side effects like skin necrosis or even blindness, are rare in experienced hands. While the chin is “safer’ than the nose or forehead, complications do happen; especially if the injector is unexperienced. Do your homework!. Hope this helps!!!

Answer: Chin filler Hello! Anytime you receive dermal fillers there is a risk of side effects such as temporary bruising, swelling, and discomfort. There are certain areas of the face that are more dangerous to receive fillers such as the nose, temples, and forehead, although the risk of severe adverse effects such as necrosis and blindness are relatively rare. However, there is always a risk no matter where you are receiving injections. The chin is a safe area to receive fillers due to the anatomy of the vessels and the size (they're very small here). It is important to be seen by a provider that you feel comfortable with and that has discussed with you their filler emergency protocol should an issue arise.
