Chin enhancement procedures have been rapidly gaining popularity. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons 2020 report over the past two decades, the number of chin augmentations has increased 63 percent.
Why Do People Want Chin Augmentation?
In general, chin augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that helps to enhance the look of the face and improve the contour of a person’s profile. For a small number of people, chin augmentation can help to correct structural imbalances in the face that are causing medical issues.
What Options Are Available for Chin Augmentation?
The two main options for chin enhancement are more invasive, surgical procedures (e.g.,bone modification or chin implants) and non-invasive, non-surgical treatments like Radiesse or Voluma, a dermal filler.
What Are the Benefits of Fillers Like Radiesse or Voluma for Chin Augmentation?
As opposed to more invasive, surgical options that require more recovery and healing time, with dermal fillers like Radiesse, you get the immediate improvement of your profile with less downtime and no surgery required. In addition, if you opt for fillers, your surgeon may have more control over enhancing the shape and contour of your features for the best possible outcome.
Dermal fillers also have a lower upfront cost, and you can choose whether or not to continue treatments.
What Can I Expect From a Radiesse or Voluma Treatment?
Dermal filler treatments can take up to an hour, but there is virtually no downtime. You may experience some mild discomfort and swelling in the injection sites, but this resolves quickly.
What Are the Recovery Times for Radiesse or Voluma?
You may wish to take a day or two to let the swelling and discomfort diminish, but you can resume your normal activities virtually immediately.
How Long Does Each Treatment Take?
Each treatment can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. Your plastic surgeon will be able to tell you how long to expect each session to take.
How Long Will My Results Last?
Radiesse and Voluma typically lasts 12-months, so you may need periodic maintenance treatments.
