I was wondering, how does the filler feel when it's injected into the chin? Does it sort of harden and mimic bone or is it a purely aesthetic result.

[arivkin9]

the filler really doesn't feel like anything once the initial swelling goes down after 2 days or so. it is a soft filler, so it incorporates into the skin and you can't feel it at all.

Thanks for the response, for some reason (as someone who's considered the surgery) it feeling somehow unnatural is a concern.

Generally speaking, how many mm of advancement can this procedure achieve?

[arivkin9]

i can usually get a centimeter or more of advancement with radiesse. if i can do the injections over a couple of sessions, i can get more advancement.

why don't they show before and after photos that would have been a lot more helpful in terms of understanding how much progress it does

[Nyana999]

No kidding, this treatment sounds great...yet like you said, there's no before and after photos, and the fact that it only last 2 years is its downfall, also just curiouse on how much this exactly would cost...

[DestinyCakedUp]

How long does it last?

[xocandyandcupcakesox]

would it be possibel to put artefil into the chin?

and also would it be possible to fix a diagonal chin line?

(i'm female and when i smile from front view my chin does not lie in a straight line, it is diagonal, and it really bothers me).

Doc, how much product is used in this example? If it's one cc at about $700 or so for Radiesse, and it lasts about 6-9 months, is it safe to say it costs about $100 a month to maintain this patients chin? Your opinion on Artefill?

You know what makes me sick? Look at that dude at 2:07. His profile and chin are beautiful. WHY does he think he NEEDS THIS???? Id be happy just to look like he does BEFORE the injection!
