Q:
I would like to increase the horizontal projection of my chin. I understand that Belafill can produce results that last for up to five years and I am wondering if Belafill would be a good option in my case. If so, how many syringes would i need to achieve my desired result and around how much would it cost? Thank you!
Defining the jawline with fillers
Dr. Pierone demonstrates the technique of using Bellafill to define the jawline.
A:
Bellafill contains 20% microspheres of PMMA along with bovine collagen. The collagen gets reabsorbed rather quickly but the PMMA is permanent. I think Bellafill is an excellent filler for use a deep structural filler for chin augmentation, jawline definition, and also for cheek augmentation.
In reality, Bellafill may be used a filler to replace the need for a chin implant and the surgical procedure. The caveat is that it has to be done gradually, and it would probably take about 5 – 8 syringes over a six month period of time, so the cost would be about $4000 to $5000.
The video above describes the use of Bellafill for acne scarring, but also shows it being used in a deep structural manner.
I hope that this information helps and best of luck to you!
Regards,
Dr. Pierone
