CHIN AUGMENTATION AND LIFT with FILLERS

With dermal fillers, you can balance your profile by augmenting your chin without the lengthy recovery time, and the pain and risks associated with surgical chin implants.*

Dr. Vafa offers a non-surgical chin augmentation using Radiesse or Juvederm injectable fillers.* This procedure produces minimal to no pain since numbing cream is used and lidocaine is injected to block pain locally. The filler injected into precise areas of the chin via a small needle resulting in the augmentation of your chin and improvement of your profile.*

Results are instant without any major swelling or pain. Another advantage of the non-surgical chin augmentation is that the patient has control of how much correction she/he wants by observing the procedure with a hand held mirror and giving her/his feedback to Dr. Vafa.*
