The Specifics


What is chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers?

Chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure for chin augmentation. Synthetic fillers like Juvederm®, Radiesse®, and silicone can be used, or alternatively an autologous fat transfer procedure can take advantage of the patient's own fat tissue via liposuction. Chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers restores a more youthful chin, neck, and jawline appearance while improving the contours and symmetry of the face.

Unlike chin implant or genioplasty procedures, no incisions are made and there is no risk of scarring. A chin augmentation procedure is often combined with other plastic surgery procedures such as a rhinoplasty, neck lift, or facelift to further enhance the results and overall facial features.

What cosmetic concerns does a chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers procedure treat?

  1. Chin Shape & Size: Strategic injection of fillers in a chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers procedure allows for significant improvements to facial, chin, jawline, and neck appearance. Injectables can correct a receding chin, weak chin, small chin, double chin, recessed chin, and other deformities of the chin bone.

Who is the ideal candidate for a chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers procedure?

The ideal candidate for a chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers cosmetic procedure is an individual seeking a less invasive solution to microgenia (a small or weak chin). Chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with active infections in the area to be treated, or individuals with an allergy to lidocaine or any components of the filler.

What is the average recovery associated with a chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers procedure?

Most individuals experience up to one week of recovery time following a chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers procedure. Swelling and bruising may persist for seven days. Candidates are advised to refrain from manipulating the treated area and strenuous activities for six hours following the treatment. It is also advised to sleep with the head of the bed elevated for one night following the injections.

What are the potential side effects of a chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers procedure?

Possible side effects following a chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers include bruising, swelling, bleeding, infection at injection sites, improper use of filler leading to poor or minimally lasting results, migration or resorption of filler, and skin necrosis due to poor injection.

What can someone expect from the results of a chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers procedure?

The results of a chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers cosmetic procedure will be dependent on the type of filler used, but typically last 9 to 12 months. All filler results are temporary, and will require regular upkeep procedures to maintain the desired results.

What is the average cost of a chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers procedure?

A chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers procedure can cost anywhere from $650 to $2,500. The actual cost of a chin augmentation with soft tissue fillers is dependent upon location, board certified facial plastic surgeon, and length and involvement of the plastic surgery.
