Choosing Juvéderm Volux™ to chin augmentation: Case report and flowchart for clinical evaluation.

INTRODUCTION

The development of filler biomaterials with high hyaluronic acid concentrations, cohesiveness, and elastic modulus has become an option for chin augmentation, as the balance of these rheological properties promotes high lifting capacity, providing minimally invasive perceptible improvements in patient appearance.

PRESENTATION OF CASE

The present study reviewed clinical and anatomical aspects of patients referred for chin augmentation and created a flowchart to assertively diagnose patients with an indication of Juvéderm® Volux™ for defining the lower third of the face.

DISCUSSION

The chin is vital for facial proportions and attractiveness perception. Its relevance to facial appearance is noticed the most when chin size is less than ideal, making other facial areas seem larger or smaller. The adjacent soft tissues of the neck and jaw appear prematurely aged when chin projection or width is inadequate. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers have a confirmed history of safe and effective use for treating facial volume loss or deficiency.

CONCLUSION

Juvéderm® Volux™ is a safe, effective, and long-lasting alternative for restoring and creating facial volume and sculpting, shaping, and contouring the chin and jaw.
