Q:
1.5 years ago I had surgery to help with my profile. I thought the chin was my main issue, but in fact it was chin and nose combination. I was not pressured at all for the treatments. I asked for them. Included are photos pre-surgery. Since then, I had some filler in my chin crease, I’ve had some voluma for cheek volume loss, and some Botox in my chin. I’m not getting the results I want. It’s the weak chin and jaw line.. was booking an appointment for filler. Thoughts?
A:
Hello and thanks for posting.
Deep structural filler for jawline and chin is often needed after chin implant and reconstructive jaw surgery.
It would make sense to use a more durable longer-acting filler. My personal favorites are Voluma, which can last up to 2 years, and Bellafill, which has a permanent component – PMMA. In either case, results are best with gradual volume restoration in multiple treatment sessions at least several weeks apart to allow time for the tissue to accommodate the additional volume.
I hope that this information helps and best of luck to you!
Regards,
Dr. Pierone
