Amount of filler for chin augmentation? (Phtoo)

Question

I'm interested in liquid chin augmentation, preferably using Voluma because it is long lasting. However, I'm a college student and can't spend thousands of dollars. I realize that price varies based on location (CT) and the person performing the procedure. How many cc's of filler might I need to achieve a more prominent chin and fill the depressions below my mouth, which give the illusion of jowls? I'm looking for a natural result and would like a ballpark price before paying for a consultation.

Voluma is a deep filler often used to improve the soft tissue contour. In the chin, Voluma can be used to improve the contour and add more projection to the central chin to rebalance the chin, lips, and nose and to produce an idillic heart shape to the face. 
Based on your pictures, I would not expect to use more than one vial of Voluma in your chin, however, the amount is based on your tissue response and the amount of correction you desire. A safe bet is to prepare for 1-2 vials. 
Many of our patients travel from around NYC to the Albany / Saratoga Springs area to avoid the high costs in the city. One vial of Voluma will cost around $750 in Albany. There is no consultation fee.
I would caution against filling in the depression below your mouth - this can widen the chin area and unbalance the lower third of the face. You may, however, want to consider Botox into the masseter (jaw) muscle to narrow the posterior aspect of your jaw.

A detailed examination will help delineate the best surgical option and provide you a custom quote for your situation. Consultation with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step.

"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"

You can use this site to estimate the cost of a dermal filler chin augmentation in your area. You don’t need much product, maybe 1 mL, to bring your chin into alignment with your lips. Voluma, Bellafil, and Sculptra are all good choices. Voluma and Sculptra can last around 2 years, Bellafil may last longer. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert at creating chin augmentations with dermal fillers.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. I think you can achieve a very nice result with a single syringe of Voluma.  Though cost always plays a role in decision making be sure to see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon who can demonstrate good results with placement in other patients.  Hope this helps.

Voluma® minimally is delivered in a 1cc syringe, and the amount you need depends on how large a chin you want. Prices vary significantly based on geography.
