Can I get chin fillers for the rest of my life instead of 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"

Many patients would rather go the non-surgical route and opt-out of a chin implant and stick strictly to only having chin fillers placed. There is no harm in getting filler placed twice a year. Best,Dr. Anil Shah MD FACS

There should be no problem having chin fillers placed over a lifetime rather than having a chin implant. There are a variety of fillers that could be used.  Radiesse works well on the chin because it is a relatively stiff filler, but the results may only last a year or so.  There are some longer lasting fillers, including Sculptra and Bellafill.  

Great question. If you're looking for a semi-permanent filler I would highly recommend Bellafill. Bellafill is collagen based filler lasting about 5 years sometimes longer depending on the patient. This product stimulates your own collagen to produce in the injected area so when the filler completely dissolves, your results still look great. I would recommend seeing a cosmetic surgeon that has plenty of experience using Bellafill and have them slowly add fullness to the area over time to ensure your results are perfect!
