Do I need to shave my short beard before have a dermal filler for my chin?

Eric, thank you for your question.  Injecting in the area of short beard typically poses no problems.  Good luck with your procedure.

If its short- no you do not, if its long and obstructs your facial features, yes. For the best results we must accurately see your facial contours. The more 'naked' your skin the better the optical view. For male dermal fillers the chin should be 'angled', and in proportion to the sides of your lips. There are special points in a male to make them more masculine, chin and jawline ranks as the number one areas. All the best, Dr Isobel Walker. Brisbane. Australia.
