I Acquired Chin Filler for the First Time—See the Earlier than-and-After Images

As a result of you’ll be able to’t simply inject one space of the face to create anatomical symmetry, particularly in my case, Dr. Levin additionally used one other filler referred to as Juvéderm Vollure to offer me “some periorial assist” within the space proper above my chin however under my lips. With Vollure, she used a cannula, a blunt-ended tube, to do the injection. This was “to reduce the chance of [the filler] transferring [around after it is injected/while it is injected], but in addition to assist decrease the chance of filler moving into arteries and veins,” Dr. Levin explains, “so we generally is a bit extra secure in an space that has extra arteries and extra vessels.”

She provides, “There isn’t a excellent solution to inject. There isn’t any recipe that claims, ‘That is precisely the way you do it.’ It is extra like cooking intuitively.”

And to cook dinner up my outcomes, Dr. Levin used “one full syringe of Volux and half a syringe of Vollure” on my chin and jawline. I ought to be aware that the price of filler varies and sometimes depends upon what sort is used, what number of syringes are wanted, the place within the nation you’re getting remedy, and who’s doing the injecting.

After the filler was injected, Dr. Levin sculpted it into place. Think about crafting a figurine out of clay—she was actually molding the hyaluronic acid injected below my pores and skin right into a form and place that greatest suited my facial anatomy. This was essentially the most attention-grabbing and hands-on side of all the process to me, however it’s not at all times needed, based on Dr. Levin.

As soon as injected, she sculpted the filler into place, actually molding the hyaluronic acid that was below my pores and skin, like crafting a figurine out of clay.

“There are particular locations the place sculpting helps with reaching the specified final result after we’re utilizing fillers. Each face is exclusive, and fillers are clearly positioned strategically and sculpted to enrich the affected person’s pure contour,” she factors out. “For me, sculpting helps fine-tune the location, and it additionally ensures that the filler integrates nicely with the encompassing tissue to reinforce the facial construction. I’ll sculpt sometimes on the chin, perhaps slightly bit on the jawline, for a sharper angle or a softer transition, relying on what I am making an attempt to attain.”
