Q:
Hello I’m not very happy with the size of my chin since I feel that it is not proportional to the rest of my profile, but I don’t want to get an implant(a least for now) Are the fillers an option??? If is Yes the answer may I ask the approximate price for that?? Thank you!!
A:
Hello and thanks for posting.
Facial fillers represent an alternative to a chin implant. Fillers may be injected in the chin in a series of treatment sessions to gradually add volume to this area and favorably change facial and jawline contours. This sound be done gradually in order to give the tissue time to accommodate the filler.
One can start with an HA filler like Voluma or Juvederm. If happy with the results, it would be reasonable to transition to a product like Bellafill.
Bellafill is the longest lasting FDA approved facial filler. It is a combination of 80% bovine collagen and 20% PMMA microspheres. PMMA is a permanent filler. Because this hybrid product has an absorbable component – bovine collagen – several treatment sessions are necessary to achieve final results. But the final results are permanent.
I hope that this information helps and best of luck to you!
