Perfect chin without surgery: the possibilities of Radiesse for face correction

Cosmetic correction of the face involves not only the fight against the manifestations of age-related changes in the form of wrinkles or deterioration of the skin quality, but also the introduction of harmonious adjustments in certain areas of the face in order to achieve a better balance in proportions. It is no secret that people rarely evaluate their face objectively and, looking in the mirror, complain about the imperfection of the nose or forehead, while these parts of the face need only be balanced with a well-defined chin for harmony. What a chin  can be considered ideal, and how to achieve its ideal shape with fillers – for example, Radiesse, looked at estet-portal.com.

What shape of the chin can be considered harmonious for men and women

It turns out that beauty and harmony in aesthetic medicine can be checked almost exactly with the help of geometry: the ideal chin in height should be half the height of the entire lower third of the face and have a clearly defined line. In addition, there are some more geometric calculations that allow you to estimate and correct the size of the chin, its shape and volume.

Front:

• in women - the projection of the protruding central part of the chin is equal to the width of the nose, the distance from the base of the nose to the upper lip is 1.8-2.0 cm, from the lower lip to the chin 3.6-4.0 cm;
• for men - the projection of the protruding central part of the chin is equal to the width of the mouth, the distance from the base of the nose to the upper lip is 1.0-2.0 cm, from the lower lip to the chin 2.5 times more.

To Profile:

• the Ricketts line runs from the tip of the nose, retreating from the lower lip by 2 mm and touching the chin;
• - the Schwartz line passes in men through the edge of the lower lip and chin, and in women - directly in front of it.

If the above calculations, as well as a visual assessment of the chin, lead to a conclusion about a lack of volume or size, inharmonious shape, then a correction using a dense filler can come to the rescue. Such a filler is Radiesse.

Due to what properties the filler can change the shape of the chin

Often, patients agree that the shape of the chin needs to be corrected for the harmony of the entire face, but they are not ready for a serious surgical intervention – mentoplasty. In this case, you can offer them injection correction of the chin with a filler. For this, high-viscosity & nbsp; preparations with a high value of elasticity and density. They are able to retain their shape when injected and retain it for a sufficiently long time. Radiesse calcium hydroxyapatite is the best choice.

Radiesse filler is considered to be the drug of choice for chin reshaping, as it has high viscosity and elasticity, and is considered a worthy alternative to surgery.

Radiesse is a suspension of synthetic calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a carrier gel. Calcium hydroxyapatite has a natural compatibility with the human body, its action is constantly verified by numerous studies – it is absolutely safe and over time  completely excreted naturally.

When injected deep periosteally, calcium hydroxyapatite, which is part of Radiesse, stimulates the cellular structural unit of the tissue where it is injected (in the case of a chin correction, these are fibroblasts).

As a result of the treatment of the chin with a filler, new connective tissue begins to form in the injection area, and this gives a more time-resistant result than similar procedures with fillers based on hyaluronic acid. Immediately after injections - Radiesse works like a classic filler: it fills the right areas under the skin, giving the chin the necessary shape and volume. 2-3 months after the administration of the drug, Radiesse calcium hydroxyapatite begins to stimulate cell renewal and neocollagenogenesis.

What results can be achieved with Radiesse chin correction

Harmonious correction of the chin directly depends on the qualification of the doctor, his ability to choose the right filler, correctly calculate the dilution, properly inject it so that the gel is distributed evenly, does not contour, does not migrate and retains the required shape for a long time.

With a filler as dense and viscous as Radiesse, the following problems can be solved:

• clear the chin line;
• add volume, make the chin less sharp, more expressive, "push" a little; forward;
• simulate "volitional" chin in men;
• remove wrinkles and dimples from the chin;
• correct the lower jaw in case of asymmetry and other defects of the chin area.

Simultaneously with chin correction  (its volume and shape) the correction of the so-called "second" chin, as well as non-surgical reshaping of the nose, restoration of facial contours by correcting the cheek area and eliminating jowls, giving clarity to the lines of the cheekbones and lower jaw. All these areas can be ideally corrected with the Radiesse lifting filler from the company Merz Aesthetics.

Radiesse calcium hydroxyapatite filler is therefore ideal for providing non-surgical facelift, chin correction and facial harmonization.
