To improve your overall facial profile without surgery, dermal fillers can add projection to a chin that sits back, lift flat cheeks and define a soft jawline. At DC Derm Docs, Dr. Anju Pabby, a board-certified dermatologist, starts by finding the one feature that changes your profile most.
Which Feature Most Influences the Profile Change I Want?
At your consultation, you and Dr. Pabby will look at your side view in a hand mirror, from your forehead to your chin. Then, she’ll ask you to point to what bothers you in pictures.
What Could the Chin, Cheeks or Jawline Each Contribute to Improve Your Overall Facial Profile Without Surgery?
Filler in the chin can bring it forward in profile, and cheek filler such as Voluma adds volume to the midface. For the jaw, Radiesse notes effective improvement in moderate to severe loss of jawline contour, and our Radiesse page covers the visit.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons notes that a jawline typically takes one to four syringes of filler, with results lasting about 12 to 18 months.
What Are the Limits of Injectables, and Can a Profile Plan Be Staged Within My Budget?
Filler adds volume, so it can’t shorten a nose or replace surgery for loose skin. Yes, you can stage it. You might start with the chin, add jawline filler at a later visit, and ask our front desk about our monthly specials.
Frequently Asked Questions About Improving Your Facial Profile
How Soon Will I See My New Profile?
Right away, though mild swelling can take a couple of days to settle.
Will I Look Overdone?
Not if you build in stages. Dr. Pabby would rather add at a follow-up than overfill at the first visit.
Do I Need Downtime?
Usually not, and most patients head back to work the same day.
What If I Still Want More Change?
Then she may tell you honestly that a surgeon could give you more.
