Hello, I am considering getting Juvéderm Voluma for my weak chin and to strengthen my jawline. I have seen plenty of before and after photos that look decent but I would like to know how it feels to the touch. Is the additional volume stiff and hard similar to bone or is it like movable soft tissue? I am hoping its stiff. If not, is there some other filler that is stiffer? Thanks

Answer: Dermal fillers Dear iz0111,dermal fillers can be used to treat those areas. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Jaw filler Great question. Hyaluronic acid filler (like Juvederm Volume you mentioned) is generally soft. Typically you would not be able to tell it's there by feel. More permanent jawline augmentation can be done with PMMA or implants. These would feel more like you have increased your actual jaw bone volume. They are also more permanent in nature. Warm regards.
