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

Hello, Thank you for your question. While it may not be required to shave before your treatment, you may want too, just to be sure that you achieve your desired results. Reach out to your provider and ask them if they have a preference. Good luck! 

Thanks Eric for your question!We do not ask patients to shave before dermal filler injections, generally speaking. Of course, there could be exceptions, but a short beard is usually not an issue. Good luck. Dr. Aldo

I don't routinely ask by patients to shave prior to dermal filler treatment. That being said, each injector has his/her own preferences and so I would speak with your injector. 

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. 

We advise to get a more accurate end result it would be wise to shave as it will be difficult to get symmetry on the face with the beard.
