Why has Restylane Defyne been chosen as the best filler for non-surgical chin augmentation?

The exact duration varies from person to person and is dependent on a few factors like:

• The type of filler (HA or other products or even the type of HA)
• The injected volume
• The metabolism of the patient
• The location is one of them as well, but the chin is a pretty solid structure that doesn’t move as much as the lips for example.
• The average duration is about 12 months or 1 year. If you need 2-4 syringes to achieve the desired result, then in 12 months you may need just 1 or 2 MLS to keep the results.

The cost varies depending on the location of the practice, the experience of the provider as well as the injection technique used and the amount of product to be used. It is impossible to accurately predict the cost without an in-person consultation.

How many syringes are needed for non-surgical chin augmentation?

That number varies from person to person and is dependent on the individual’s anatomy. The average amount injected during clinical trials was anywhere between 4-6 ml of product.

Some people will only need 1-2 syringes if they have already good chin support but people that need more support will need more product. It can easily take more than one visit to achieve a “happy spot” which is the most recommended approach for safety and patient outcomes.

The recovery is very uneventful. There might be a feeling of tightness, soreness for 1-2 days after the procedure. The most common side effects reported are redness, swelling, soreness, and bruising which usually last for a few days only. This one is fairly easy.

The best product would be determined by your aesthetic provider at the time of your in-person consultation.

Do results of non-surgical chin augmentation look similar to receiving a chin implant?

The answer depends on whether the appropriate candidate was chosen and whether the patient had realistic expectations and whether the aesthetic provider was skilled in delivering the most amazing results. If the appropriate patient, with realistic expectations, comes to an injection expert, then the result can absolutely look like a chin implant was injected except the patient has no recovery, no scars, no potential nerve damage, etc. The best and most accurate answer is that it depends. Surgery and non-surgery cannot be considered the same, but in the best cases, they can be pretty close.
