Correction of a double chin without surgery: how to remove it with injections in the salon, getting rid of it with cosmetic procedures

The shape and size of the chin have a significant impact on a person's appearance. A too light lower part of the face creates the impression of an unfinished image, and an overly massive chin makes a person rude and unattractive. Genioplasty allows you to correct this anatomical area in accordance with the wishes of the patient. An ideal chin should be in harmony with other parts of the face, but this is not always the case, so some people have to resort to the help of plastic surgeons. Genioplasty should not be confused with hernioplasty; these are fundamentally different interventions; the latter technique is used to treat hernias.

Indications for use

Chin contouring (contour mentoplasty) is created for those who are dissatisfied with its existing shape. These can be either congenital imperfections or acquired ones. These include:

dimples on the chin;
insufficient volume;
narrow, sloping or flat chin;
lack of proportion with other parts of the face;
loose skin;
“blurred” oval face;
damage after injury;
wrinkles;
“heavy” square chin - rough contours in the cheekbone area, more characteristic of men.

Attention! It is recommended to do contour plastic surgery for people who have reached the age of at least 23–25 years.

Indications and contraindications for surgery

Indications for mentoplasty are:

Double chin;
Violation of symmetry and facial proportions due to irregular chin shape;
Too big or too small chin;
Underdevelopment, slanting of the chin of a congenital nature;
Traumatic injuries;
Congenital defects in the development of facial bones;
The patient’s desire to correct the shape of a properly developed chin if the operation does not go against common sense and the basic principles of assessing the proportion and harmony of the face.

To achieve the desired result during the operation, the patient's own tissue or synthetic materials are used. The incision is made from the inside so that the incision line remains invisible to others.

chin shapes

is contraindicated in cases of blood clotting disorders, severe pathology of internal organs (heart, blood vessels, liver and kidneys), common infectious diseases (ARVI, for example), pustular, inflammatory, eczematous processes in the area of the intended intervention, cancer, diabetes mellitus.

In addition to the listed contraindications, an obstacle to chin plastic surgery can be mental illness and even the surgeon’s refusal to perform the operation when the latter does not see the feasibility of it or the result is questionable or obviously negative.

Mentoplasty will have to be postponed if there is pathology of the teeth and jaw, which can be treated in advance. Wearing braces is also considered a temporary contraindication. It is better for women not to plan surgery during their menstrual period.

Efficiency of the technique

The injection actions are aimed at achieving the following result:

adding volume;
smoothing wrinkles;
elimination of defects - cavities, acne;
formation of a clearer oval face.

The procedure provides not only an aesthetic, but also a rejuvenating effect. But you shouldn’t expect dramatic changes in appearance from contouring. A significant change in the shape of the chin is only possible with surgical intervention - surgical mentoplasty.

Also, the invasive (injection) technique has a short-lived result. The average lifespan of fillers is one and a half years.

Preparation

To avoid complications after injection chin correction, you need to give up the following a few days before the procedure:

alcohol;
visits to baths, saunas;
use of drugs that affect blood clotting.

Your doctor may also prescribe a course of antiviral medications or herpes medication for those who are susceptible to infections.

You should definitely inform your doctor about allergies to medications, as well as medications that are taken at the time of the planned mentoplasty. This is necessary in order to determine whether the drugs are compatible with the fillers that will be injected.

Important point! It is recommended to conduct an examination to determine the correctness of the bite. If there are problems with this, they need to be eliminated before chin contouring.

Types of procedure

Invasive mentoplasty is performed using fillers. Depending on the fillers, the procedure is divided into:

injection chin plastic surgery with hyaluronic acid;
plastic with calcium hydroxyapatite.

Features of injections with hyaluronic acid

Gel based on hyaluronic acid is a plastic mass that is easily distributed under the skin.

The action of hyaluronic acid is aimed at:

adding volume;
smoothing wrinkles;
hydration;
stimulation of cell synthesis;
production of elastin and collagen.

Benefits of Calcium Hydroxyapatite

It is naturally present in the human body in bone tissue. It is the heaviest filler for injection plastic surgery. And it works well when you need to make injections with deep periosteal injection.

Peculiarities:

within two months after the invasion, connective tissue grows around the preparation - a semi-natural implant that allows it to keep its shape well;
stimulates collagen production;
influences the formation of fibroblasts and osteoblasts.

Both components biodegrade (dissolve) over time. Calcium hydroxyapatite has a longer lasting effect compared to hyaluronic acid.

Methods of introducing filler

The most commonly used transdermal method is when a needle or cannula is inserted into the dermis in close proximity to the problem area.

There is also a transoral technique - administering the drug by injection through the mouth. Despite the fact that the punctures are not visible externally, this type of chin contouring is almost never used.

What is the procedure

Chin contouring is a safe, uncomplicated cosmetic procedure for correcting the lower third of the face area, the shape and outline of the chin. With its help, you can get rid of congenital and acquired defects in appearance, and model the oval of the face. Fillers are used as a corrector tool.

Cosmetologists use 2 methods of introducing filler under the skin or inside the skin:

transdermal - the most common and familiar method of contouring, the drug is injected from the outside into the problem area;
transoral - rarely used, the introduction of a special composition is performed through the oral cavity. Unlike the previous method, the puncture sites are not visible, the integrity of the skin is not compromised.

The procedure is a success among young women who want to correct the contour of their face, give it more femininity and grace, and also correct existing defects and imperfections. It is no less popular among older patients who are concerned about sagging soft tissues with age. Often, contour plastic surgery of the lower third of the face is used by men to enlarge the chin and give their appearance a kind of brutality.

The effect is temporary, comparable to surgical intervention. The updated appearance will please the patient for a maximum of 3 years, after which the procedure is repeated.

Despite the simplicity of the correction technique, the success of the final result depends 80% on the skill level of the cosmetologist and how evenly he distributes the composition. Therefore, be very strict when choosing a clinic or specialist.

Important point! Correction of the chin area through surgery, installation of an implant, or a radical change in its shape and size is called mentoplasty or genioplasty. This is a full-fledged plastic surgery.

Popular drugs

To correct the chin, fillers with the densest structure are used, since they hold their shape best and last a long time. Cosmetologists choose proven brands, among which the following drugs are popular.

Princess Volume (Austria)

The drug Princess Volume is one of the types of the line of the brand of the same name. Based on hyaluronic acid. It has a dense structure - 23 mg/ml hyaluronic acid in the gel. It is an ideal option for chin contouring. The effect lasts from 8 to 12 months. The cost of the drug is about 3,600 rubles.

Juvederm (USA)

Two drugs are suitable for correcting the lower part of the face.

Juvederm Voluma (Yuvederm Voluma). The concentration of hyaluronic acid is 20 mg/ml. Contains lidocaine. The duration of the effect is about 1.5 years. One of the most popular gels.
Juvederm Volift (Yuvederm Volift). It has a slightly lower density - 17.5 mg/ml hyaluronic acid. But it is also used for contour mentoplasty. The drug contains lidocaine.

The cost of Juvederm fillers is about 13,000 per package.

Radiesse (Germany)

A popular filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite . Effective in restoring facial contours. Does not cause rejection. To administer the drug correctly, you need to have sufficient knowledge in the field of contouring. The action lasts for more than a year.

The price of the package is approximately 8,000 rubles.

Surgiderm 30 XP (France)

The drug is based on hyaluronic acid . Effectively replenishes volume and restores facial features. The effect of the product lasts up to 18 months.

You can buy Surgiderm for 8,500 rubles.

Restylane (Sweden)

For injection correction of the chin, the line contains two drugs - Restylane Perlane and Sub Q (SubQ). Both are based on hyaluron.

Dense viscous fillers with hyaluronic acid, which effectively fill even deep wrinkles, model the chin and oval of the face. Valid for one to two years. The cost of the gel is about 7,000 rubles per package.

Yvoire (Korea)

To model the chin, two gels based on hyaluronic acid are produced: Contour and Volume S. Both products are characterized by increased density; Yvoire Contour has the strongest structure in the line. The effect after injection of fillers lasts for 8–12 months. The drug costs approximately 4,500 rubles per package.

Hardware methods for correcting a double chin

Hardware techniques are not as traumatic as plastic surgery. But they cannot always cope with large volumes of fat and skin tissue. To solve the problem of a double chin with excess fat cells, Vaser and Zeltiq devices are most often used. “The work with the Zeltiq device is based on cryolipolysis and the initiation of apoptosis (cell death) under the influence of cold in certain areas of the face and body,” explains Daria Melnikova, a cosmetologist at the Sensavi Beauty Institute. — Fat cells that could not withstand the adverse effects of cold decrease in volume, the process progresses over time and intensifies over three months. Next, our immune cells are activated and displace the dead cells. The result is a reduction in volume and an improvement in facial contours.” Vaser operates on a different principle. This method is often called ultrasonic liposuction. Local areas with fat deposits (in our case, the chin and jowls) are treated with ultrasound in a special mode. As a result, fatty tissue is destroyed and liquefied. In this case, the surrounding tissues are not damaged. Excess treated fat tissue is then removed from the chin area through aspiration. Cells collected in this way remain viable, so they can later be used for lipofilling of the face or body. This method allows you to restore facial contours and provide a visible lifting effect. To achieve results, several sessions are usually required; the number will be determined by the doctor. Let us remind you that the procedure is recommended for small volumes of fat deposits in the lower part of the face.

Stages of the procedure

The most important step in chin contouring is choosing a doctor. Administration of injections (especially those based on calcium hydroxyapatite) requires high professionalism, knowledge of human anatomy, the specific composition and action of the selected drug, as well as the ability to accurately determine its dosage for each corrected area. The inexperience of the master can lead to consequences that are difficult to correct. And sometimes this can even seriously undermine your health.

The next important rule is the quality of the drug. This must be a certified and completely sterile gel with a normal shelf life. The dermatocosmetologist is obliged to open the drug before the patient. Storage of residues and their further use is not permitted.

Important point. Fillers based on calcium hydroxyapatite are not recommended for use in patients with thin skin and weakened immune systems. Also, after such a filler, hyaluronic acid cannot be used for contour mentoplasty for a year. Since it is unknown how these drugs interact.

If these conditions are met, you can begin the procedure itself.

Chin contouring with fillers includes several stages:

Skin cleansing, makeup removal.
Anesthesia. A thick ball of anesthetic gel is applied to the treated area. And wait until it starts to act - about 30 minutes.
Asepsis. The anesthetic is removed from the surface of the skin and the area is treated with an antiseptic.
Administration of injections. As a rule, the drug is injected into the deep subcutaneous layers. The average amount of filler on each side is 0.5–1 ml per session. It is not recommended to introduce more filler at one time. Since the final result of chin contouring will be noticeable after some time, it is always better to inject the required amount than to remove the excess dose of the implant later.
Repeated asepsis. After the drug is injected into the desired areas, the puncture sites are treated with an antiseptic.

The procedure lasts about 40 minutes with anesthesia.

During the puncture, the patient should not feel pain. A slight tingling sensation is allowed, which does not cause discomfort. There are also masters who are so well versed in where the nerve endings are that they perform the procedure without anesthesia and the patient does not experience pain at all.

Progress of the procedure

Male mentoplasty
Correction of the shape of the chin is carried out in one of two surgical ways: through an external or internal incision. In the first case, to access the bone, an incision is made in the skin fold under the jaw, in the second - between the mucous membrane of the lower lip and the gum. The choice of method is up to the doctor, but an internal incision is preferable - it is less traumatic, does not leave visible scars and heals faster.

Rehabilitation period

The recovery period after chin contouring lasts about a week.

What to expect in the first days

Rarely does the patient have no visual changes after the procedure. Frequent consequences of injections are:

swelling;
pain at the puncture sites;
bruises;
redness.

Care

To avoid infection, in the first days you should wipe the puncture sites with an antiseptic. For the same reason, you should not touch your chin with your hands or apply makeup to it.

For two weeks after injection mentoplasty, you should refrain from:

saunas, baths, solariums;
intense physical activity;
local therapy and aggressive procedures.

Failure to comply with these conditions leads to overheating and can cause rapid disintegration of the filler.

In the first two months, you should not massage your face to avoid dislodging the gel.

The result of contouring lasts for 6–18 months. After which the procedure must be repeated. There are also long-acting fillers, in which case the effect can last up to three years.

If it is necessary to introduce an additional dose of gel, the procedure can be repeated after 10–14 days.

Expert opinion

Melnikova Daria , cosmetologist at the Sensavi Beauty Institute
When patients come to us to solve the problem of a double chin or jowls, we use several techniques: coolsculpting using the Zeltiq device, Ulthera technology for non-surgical facelift, the Thermage system and fractional thermolifting Scarlet-S. For patients with slight excess and weak skin elasticity, Thermage of the face, chin area, and neck is indicated. Due to the twisting of collagen, the tissues are significantly tightened and, as a result, thickened, creating an instant lifting effect, which will intensify over time (as new collagen is produced). If there is excess fat, then the Zeltiq device is indicated. It removes local fat deposits through cooling. We can evaluate the result after two to three months. This time is necessary for the destruction of fat cells and their removal from the body through the lymphatic system. If the patient has tissue ptosis, with thick skin and a pronounced subcutaneous fat layer, then Ulthera therapy is indicated. Ultrasonic thermal effects are exerted at the level of the SMAS muscles and ligaments of the face, allowing it to act on its frame and lift heavy tissues layer by layer. The final result is visible after three months. After all, the process of synthesizing new collagen is slow. At the initial stage of manifestation of excess skin and adipose tissue, a procedure using the Scarlet-S device in lifting mode would be appropriate. To get skin tightening, a tightened facial contour and a clearer cervical-chin angle, three to four sessions are enough. The result is visible already on the third or fourth day, but over the course of one to two months it becomes more and more pronounced. Thanks to the process of active collagen synthesis (it occurs within a month), the skin is smoothed and the oval of the face is tightened. Immediately after the procedure, redness and swelling are observed, but only for one to two days.

Contraindications

You cannot resort to such a procedure if the patient has:

acute infectious, bacterial diseases or exacerbations of chronic diseases;
lesions of the chin - rashes, acne, wounds, etc.;
dysfunction of the circulatory system;
tendency to form hypertrophic scars;
pregnancy and breastfeeding;
fear of injections;
allergy to the components of the drug;
diabetes;
the presence of silicone implants in the chin.

Caution should be exercised when injecting filler into scars, as it is difficult to predict what the result will be.

Attention! You should not perform contouring if less than two weeks have passed since laser resurfacing, peeling, microdermabrasion and other cosmetic procedures. It is also better to refuse a session during menstruation to avoid excessive bruising.

Types of mentoplasty

Among the types of mentoplasty, the following corrective actions are considered the most common:

chin augmentation through the introduction of silicone implants, lipofilling of adipose tissue removed from other areas of the patient’s body;
protrusion of the chin bones with its smoothed shape;
chin reduction due to resection of part of the lower jaw bone;
horizontal osteotomy with displacement of the chin bones back;
tightening a double and sagging chin by suturing excess tissue.

The operations are performed using special laser emitters, which make it possible to replace traumatic incisions with a conventional scalpel with precise and bloodless dissection of tissue with a thin light beam. This approach eliminates the possibility of infection and significantly shortens the rehabilitation period. Swelling and hematomas disappear within 1-2 months after mentoplasty; the final appearance of the chin is formed after another month. The patient will be able to return to normal rhythm of life in a week.

Contraindications

Infectious diseases;
Cardiovascular diseases;
Serious defects in the chin area;
Oncological diseases;
Thyroid diseases;
Oncology;
Problems with blood clotting.

Complications

The reason for their appearance may be a violation of the technology for chin contouring or non-compliance with the rules of the rehabilitation period.

What can happen:

inflammatory processes - appear as a result of infection during or after a session;
the appearance of fistulas, hardenings, nodes - occurs after improper injection of filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite.

The features of fillers based on calcium hydroxyapatite should be taken into account. It is very dangerous if the drug enters a blood vessel - this can lead to embolism, destruction of red blood cells in the blood (hemolysis), platelet aggregation (the initial stage of blood clot formation) and even a heart attack.

Why does filler not work?

Since the fillers chosen for chin correction are the densest, such cases are rare. The reasons may be:

low-quality drug;
introducing it into too deep layers or in insufficient quantities;
individual characteristics of the patient.

Stages and types of bite correction

Any surgical intervention is carried out in three stages. The first is preparatory, when the patient is examined and treatment tactics are chosen. The second is the operation itself, and the third is rehabilitation measures. Modern computer technologies with the possibility of three-dimensional visualization can significantly facilitate the work of surgeons; we can say that doctors have the opportunity to create sketches of the final result.

The course of the operation will depend on the nature of the anomalies and deformations that caused the bite, which does not correspond to the physiological norm. Surgical treatment always begins with the administration of anesthesia. After the patient falls asleep, the bones of his jaw are freed from tissue and set in their normal position, fixed with screws or plates. The surgical field is closed and splinted.

The timing of jaw surgery to correct the bite will depend on the volume of bones that need reconstruction and the complexity of the defect. On average, such an intervention takes from 1 to 6 hours.

Facts that patients know almost nothing about:

Bone growth in the human body continues until the age of 18, so orthodontic surgery is only available after adulthood. Earlier intervention entails relapses of the pathology.
Wearing a brace system for one and a half years is the main preoperative preparation.
Simply cutting the tissue in the right place is sometimes enough to correct the bite. Complex cases often require dividing the jaw into fragments.
All work takes place in the oral cavity, there are practically no incisions on the skin, so the patient’s appearance does not suffer.

In general terms it looks like this:

Anyone preparing for surgery experiences a lot of stress. The attending physician will definitely give several recommendations that will help reduce the risk of complications and speed up the rehabilitation period. Patients need to do the following:

Tell your doctor about the medications you are taking to avoid incompatibility with anesthesia.
Feeling unwell or unwell is a reason to notify your doctor. This may be indigestion, a sore throat or a common cold, but only a specialist has the right to decide how much the patient’s illness prevents the operation.
If inhalation anesthesia is planned, patients who smoke should (12 hours before the planned event) refrain from smoking.
8-9 hours before surgery, you are prohibited from eating and drinking.

Compliance with the rules and recommendations of the doctor is the key to the operation being successful. As a rule, orthodontic operations are carried out as planned, after which the patient remains in a hospital for another 4-5 days. The recovery period is also relatively short, although it largely depends on the individual characteristics of the patient, approximately 2-3 weeks.

Open lateral and frontal bite

Most often, both jaws are deformed, but, as a rule, the lower one is operated on. This happens because it is the only movable bone of the facial part of the skull, the purpose of influencing it is movement or reposition. With this type of bite, treatment may have several options. In any of the chosen methods, both orthodontic and orthopedic methods will be used.

Here the course of the operation will have a main feature to ensure full contact of the surfaces of the teeth of both rows: the upper jaw is moved upward. This operation is well tolerated by patients and has virtually no complications. During the rehabilitation period, you may need the help of a speech therapist.

Surgical treatment of a lateral open bite is more difficult because patients with this anomaly already have problems with chewing and swallowing. Such people experience facial deformation. The course of the operation will include distraction osteogenesis, that is, the doctor will gradually move the jaw bones apart (at the sites of their fractures) so that a bone callus is formed, and due to this, the jaw itself will increase.

Chin correction

In this case, surgical assistance consists of the fact that the doctor, gaining access to the lower jaw, gives it the desired position and fixes it with a titanium plate. This operation can even be performed under local anesthesia. Chin dysplasia is more of an aesthetic than a physiological problem.

Treatment of a deep bite begins with orthodontics (straightening the teeth); sometimes some teeth are removed if it is impossible to return them to the row. The duration of this stage is one and a half or two years. Osteotomy is performed with displacement of bone tissue.

Comparison with other anti-aging procedures

There are other ways to rejuvenate the chin.

Botox

Contouring is confused with Botox, but they have significant differences. The Botox technique is based on the injection of botulinum toxin, which relaxes the muscles. This procedure is used to eliminate and prevent the appearance of wrinkles. Botox cannot change the shape of the chin and fill the necessary places with volume.

Surgical mentoplasty

If we compare contour plastic surgery with surgical plastic surgery, the latter has a clear advantage - you can significantly change the shape of the chin by installing a durable implant made of polyethylene or silicone.

This operation is associated with certain difficulties:

general anesthesia is required to install the prosthesis;
long and difficult rehabilitation period;
there may be numbness in the operated area;
there is a risk of implant displacement;
the formation of scars at the suture sites is inevitable;
if the prosthesis is installed near bone tissue, it will gradually collapse.

Surgery does not rejuvenate the skin at the cellular level and is inferior to contouring in this regard.

Thread lifting

The procedure is carried out by introducing mesothreads under the skin in order to form a strong muscle frame without adding volume. This is in contrast to contouring, which can enhance the chin where it is needed.

Hardware lifting

Laser therapy is used to rejuvenate the skin. As with threads, the laser does not create volume.

Thread lifting for chin and jowl correction

Thread lifting can also help with double chin and jowls. “For this zone, threads made of polydioxanone, polylactic acid and polycaprolactone are used,” explains Alisa Sharova, associate professor of the department of reconstructive and plastic surgery, cosmetology and cellular technology of the Russian National Research Medical University named after. Pirogov. — Polydioxanone thread is quite inert. On the one hand, this is good, it does not cause an inflammatory reaction in tissues. On the other hand, it does not provide any lipolytic effect and weakly stimulates collagen synthesis. But polylactic acid threads have the greatest stimulating effect of the three. They help tighten the skin and stimulate the synthesis of its own collagen, which is always good. Another characteristic of threads: notches, knots and other physical components. Smooth threads in the chin area, in my opinion, do not work. Basically, threads with notches are used to correct a double chin and jowls. They are able to hold the fabric in a fixed position. On polydioxanone threads the effect will last about six months, on caprolactone and polylactic threads - a year and a half. To be fair, it should be said that thread techniques are good when there is no pronounced sagging of the tissue. That is, they give results if there is slight ptosis, a slight excess of fat and skin. If, on the contrary, “tightening” the chin with threads may work, but in two or three months everything will still slide down.”

By the way!

Kybella (Allergan, USA) is the first FDA-approved drug designed to reduce fat deposits in the double chin area. There are other manufacturers, but they register their products as medical products, for example, as mesotherapy cocktails or implants, and their registration status is different. For example, the intralipotherapy drug Aqualyx. Preparations for lipolysis are available in almost any mesotherapy line.

If you are not satisfied with the result

If too much filler is injected or complications arise after contouring, you can try the following methods to neutralize the effect:

to remove hyaluronic acid - administer hyaluronidase or drugs based on it;
To neutralize or reduce the effect after the administration of calcium hydroxyapatite, the manufacturer recommends the use of saline injections. However, reviews indicate that this technique is ineffective and you will have to wait until the filler is completely dissolved. In case of severe side effects, therapy is used aimed at eliminating the problems that have arisen, and not at eliminating the implant.

Opinion of cosmetologists

Cosmetologists also talk about how important it is to inject correctly filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse). They also emphasize the fact that other fillers should be introduced with caution after it. And also, before going for it, it is worth doing an ultrasound to diagnose the presence of remnants of the previous drug. Details in the review:

Fillers do not always cause side effects. The cosmetologist talks about this in another review. The specialist emphasizes that any new drug is an experiment in the cosmetologist’s practice and it is his responsibility to monitor the patient’s condition, eliminating all possible consequences.

Experts also share their experience of administering drugs to patients with poor health. For example, in this review, the cosmetologist strongly disagrees with the use of fillers for those clients who have a history of diabetes. The doctor says that he has seen the consequences of such procedures and that even simple biorevitalization comes with complications.

A doctor who has tried drugs without certificates shares useful information. The specialist emphasizes that cheap products are not the best option.

How to enlarge your chin permanently? Chin implantation - a reliable and safe method

At Platinental we perform permanent chin augmentation using safe Porex implants.

Each chin implant from this company is made from a unique material – very dense and porous Medpor polyethylene. This biomaterial has been used in plastic surgery for more than 30 years. Such an impressive period is in itself an excellent recommendation.

The implant is safe, perfectly compatible with human tissue, does not cause complications, does not require fixation to the bone, grows into the tissue and does not migrate. Medpor implants are flexible and individually sculpted by the surgeon during surgery. This ensures that the implants accurately replicate the individual facial anatomy.

All this eliminates the need for new operations in the future - the Porex implant is installed once for life

In our practice, we are careful about chin augmentation using our own tissues and silicone implants. In the first case, there remains a risk of deformation, in the second - the formation of a scar capsule, which can distort facial features.

In our practice, we have deliberately abandoned implants that only increase the point of the chin, since this ultimately leads to the formation of a sharp, protruding chin. And in this case there is no longer any need to talk about the beautiful line of the lower jaw.

Patient reviews

The fact that preparations based on calcium hydroxyapatite give good results is reported by a patient who first received injections with this filler in the cheekbones, and then in the chin.

A patient who experienced serious complications after the injection of filler shared her unsuccessful experience of using Radiesse. For this reason, she generally does not recommend using any brand of filler:

Detailed information about the practice of using Radiesse gel is here

And here the patient talks about her unsuccessful experience with lipofilling, and how contouring helped her improve her chin. The only thing she is dissatisfied with is that the result is not permanent and the procedure will have to be repeated.

Another patient shares her experience of having filler injected into her chin, saying that the procedure was unpleasant and a little painful, but she liked the result. And she also shared how, some time after contouring, she was injected with saline solution. Such actions led to the fact that the places where contour plastic surgery had been carried out for a long time became swollen again.

Injection chin plastic surgery is not as popular as lip or facial contouring. Many people don’t even understand why resort to this method of correction. But those who have an incorrect bite, a sloping or very narrow chin and other problems dream of a similar procedure. And it can give good results. Moreover, judging by the reviews, a positive outcome of contour mentoplasty is most often obtained. It all depends on the qualifications of the doctor. It is his experience that will eliminate incorrect administration of the drug and give the patient confidence that everything is going as it should without harm to health and with benefit to appearance.
