When Will a Touch-up be Required from a Radiesse Chin Augmentation?

Radiesse would provide a more predictable and even filler for chin augmentation than fat which can be absorbed and is more deformable. Radiesse lasts for over a year and is relatively cheap when compared to Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane.

Radiesse should not require touchup for at least a year if the correct amount was used. Fat injections after liposuction can be differentially absorbed so I prefer to use filler which will produce an even and consistent result.

It is safe to get a Radiesse touch up at any time as this filler is very stable and does not get larger or grow in the soft tissues after it has been injected. Typically, the filler lasts well over 1.5 years, but it is safe to add to the volume achieved any time after one month.
