Dr. Zuckerman can help you add volume to a weak or recessed chin with his non-surgical chin augmentation filler treatment using injectable products such as Voluma XC or Radiesse. This treatment may be a good option for those not ready for surgical chin augmentation or for those with only a mild issue. This treatment can also help diminish the appearance of a double chin or round an overly angular chin. Dr. Zuckerman typically injects one to two vials of either filler listed above and places the product deep into the tissues near the bone. Other options to help improve the appearance of the chin area may be non-surgical double chin removal with injectable Kybella or submental (neck or under chin) liposuction.

This treatment involves little to no downtime, and patients often return to work immediately after workday treatment. There may be slight bleeding or redness at the injection sites, but these will resolve within a few hours.

However, injections for this treatment are placed deep into the tissue, and as a result, it is best to visit a board-certified plastic surgeon who is an expert in the anatomy of the lower face. Possible complications, although rare, include:
