Hi, are there any adverse effects?I do not want to get a chin implant and will not. I do want to improve the projection of my weak chin. Would there be any harm in getting chin fillers twice a year for the rest of my life? Would chin fillers eventually cause bone erosion? I ask because the one time I got chin fillers previously, I could feel the needle hitting my bone and wondered if the filler was too close to it in this procedure.
