Question

Do you do chin augmentation with fillers?

Answer

I do indeed carry out chin augmentation treatments using injectable fillers, most frequently based on hyaluronic acid.

The current products have a longevity that has become relatively similar to hydroxyapatite-based fillers, but also offer the versatility of being reversible.

If the degree of augmentation is significant a chin implant becomes a better proposition, but even in this case it is possible to evaluate the changes using filler and after the product is reabsorbed to carry out the surgical treatment if requested.
