What filler is used?
Where is it injected(subQ, down to bone)?
How much is needed?
How long does it last from your experience?
Cost?
Does it affect your ability to have surgical chin implant inserted later?
Thanks
hi
i use either perlane or juvederm ultra plus or radiesse, depending on the patient and what we decide to use. the first 2 are hyaluronic acid fillers and don’t last quite as long as the radiesse, but they can be easily dissolved with a bit of enzyme. radiesse lasts for about a year, and the other two last about 9 months or so.
i inject deep – close to the bone
amount needed depends on the patient – how large their chin is, how big a change we want to accomplish. i bring people back after 2 weeks for a touch up if necessary. i never put in more than 1 syringe of product in one session. cost is per syringe – $600 for juvederm or perlane, $800 for radiesse.
i don’t think it affects whether you can have a surgical implant later on – you just have to wait until the filler is mostly gone.
also, there is a permanent filler – artefill – that you can use after you have tried out the effect with a temporary filler.
for more info, you can go to my website – i have written a bunch about this procedure.
