“…A total of 3 mL can be injected on each side per session, and 3 sessions can be performed during a 4-month period. 20 A recent study by Shierle and Casas 21 on the use of PLLA for soft tissue restoration resulted in 99.1% satisfaction among the 106 patients treated. This same study concluded that the use of PLLA as a nonsurgical facial Þ ller requires a meticulous injection technique.…”

Introduction: Over the recent years, the use of facial fillers for rejuvenation of the aging face has continued to increase in popularity. As the demand for noninvasive cosmetic enhancements increases, so does the need for new cosmetic techniques that will increase patient satisfaction while decreasing complications. In the past, facial fillers were mostly used for lip augmentation, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. However, because of advances in cosmetic techniques and types of dermal fillers, cosmetic surgeons today are able to correct lines, wrinkles, and volume loss seen in crow's feet, around the eyes, chin, and cheeks. Materials and Methods: A literature search was performed from 2006 to 2013 to determine new cosmetic techniques used for facial rejuvenation of the aging face. Results: Advances in facial rejuvenation are helping to give cosmetic surgeons better results with little discomfort when using dermal fillers around the eyes, cheeks, and chin to improve the overall look of wrinkles and volume loss. Conclusions: The development of new techniques and injectable dermal fillers will continue to advance with the increasing demand for a youthful appearance. Up until recently, facial fillers were used mainly to improve the effects of aging seen around the lips, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. Today, because of advances in the type of facial filler and used techniques, facial fillers can be used to improve volume loss, lines, and wrinkles around the eyes, cheeks, and chin.

“…PLLA is injected using the retrograde linear tunneling technique along the inferior orbital rim. 9,20 Injections along this region should be administered deep in the orbicularis muscle or just superÞ cial to the periostium. 9 The injection site must then be massaged in an upward fashion toward the tarsal plate.…”

“…Disadvantages to injection include the inability to subtract and the transient nature of injection lifetime requiring serial injections to maintain desired results. 6 Chin implantation is an easy and relatively reversible procedure which can be performed both under local anesthesia and general anesthesia. Alloplastic chin implants are manufactured in preset sizes and shapes.…”

The chin is a crucial landmark and mandates careful consideration for facial appearance. Optimal chin appearance requires evaluation and treatment in three dimensions: anteroposterior, transverse, and vertical planes. The optimization of chin deficiencies requires understanding of bony anatomy as well as the relationship of the adjacent facial structures including the lip, teeth, and nose. The practitioner should be familiar with techniques in injection, placement of alloplastic implants, as well bony genioplasty.

“…12 Augmentation of the chin can also be accomplished with injection of soft-tissue fillers or autologous fat. 13 Although these techniques are not permanent, they have the advantages of not requiring incisions and not resulting in scarring, which is the inevitable result of any surgery. Injectable fillers or autologous fat augmentation also allows correction of the chin in three dimensions.…”

The chin plays a very important role in overall facial appearance, and aesthetic procedures to augment the chin in patients with microgenia can improve overall facial balance. Many procedures exist to enhance the appearance of a small chin. Procedures include surgeries such as placement of an alloplast implant and bony osteotomy of the mentum (sliding genioplasty). The advantages and disadvantages of each surgical technique are well documented. Although surgical augmentation of the chin has been the gold standard of therapy, recent development of injectable filler products with lifting capacity has changed the way that many practitioners alter chin shape and size. Filler agents allow augmentation of the chin in horizontal (projection), vertical, and transverse dimensions. Injectable fillers are a simple, noninvasive procedure that causes minimal to no downtime, incurs minimal risks, and allows the practitioner to shape the chin in three dimensions. This procedure allows patients to enhance their chin size without requiring an operative visit. As more and varied filler products become FDA-approved, the versatility and application of these agents will increase.
