Jawline Definition using Radiesse

Hello dr. Rivkin,
Do you know what filler is normally used to give that smooth fuller look to the jawline and chin? my jawline has lost some volume and therefore it's thinner than before. have you done this procedure before? and approximately, how much does it costs?

Thank you:)


hi,
well, the price depends on how much filler one uses.
i usually prefer radiesse for the jawline because it lasts a while and it goes deep, for a smoother effect. duration of effect is about 10 to 12 months.
i have tried to use artefill after someone has been satisfied with the effect of radiese, but its difficult to get the contour with artefill as well as you can with radiesse. i would probably suggest sticking to temporary fillers at this point. preferrably radiesse until something better comes out.
cost of radiesse is about $800 per syringe, and you will need at least 2 syringes, probably 3 or 4. when it is multiple syringes like that, i give people a significant price break - it can get expensive. for 4 i would probably charge about $2400 (1 free). for 3 i would charge about $1900.
hope that helps
