Chin Enhancements for a Defined Jawline in Tarzana
Traditional chin augmentation involves the surgical implantation of a shaped silicone chin implant under general anesthesia. The surgery involves up to two weeks of swelling and pain. The results can be good but may also be limited by the shape of the prefabricated implant.
Both Radiesse and Restylane are great options for temporarily augmenting the chin. Many patients have been extremely pleased with the results.
Smoothing out wrinkles and folds by adding volume can make an enormous difference to your appearance. With dermal fillers, facial rejuvenation can be carried out without the use of foreign elements. When treating wrinkles or folds, a dermal filler is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The injected gel produces natural volume under the wrinkle, which is lifted and smoothed out. The results are visible immediately. Treating wrinkles with a dermal filler is fast, safe, and leaves no scars or other traces on the face.
Fillers can be used to augment the chin area as an alternative to a surgical implant. The choice of filler depends on the treatment objectives. Generally, Radiesse will provide a longer-lasting result and firmer structure.
Radiesse is an excellent filler for chin augmentation. The injection can be done in 15 to 20 minutes in the office with very precise results that can last a year or more. The benefits include no operative downtime, precise contouring of the posterior jawline, a chance to preview what a permanent implant may look like, and very little risk of complications.
