Can I get hyaluronic acid injections if I have a chin implant?
Disease description:
Hello, doctor. I've recently become interested in cosmetic procedures and would like to ask: if I have an implant in my chin, can I still receive hyaluronic acid injections?
Hyaluronic acid can be used to fill in defects in the chin area to achieve a more refined contour. This treatment is commonly known as chin augmentation or facial volumization. Typically, hyaluronic acid injections are non-surgical, but they can also be used in conjunction with prosthetic chin augmentation procedures. A physician injects hyaluronic acid into the skin around the chin to reshape the chin, enhance chin volume, reduce dimpling, smooth wrinkles, and lift facial structures. The injection procedure usually takes less than an hour, after which patients can resume normal activities elsewhere. After the injection, patients may experience pain, redness, swelling, warmth, or firmness at the injection site, but these symptoms typically resolve within a few days. To avoid allergic reactions, a skin test should be performed before hyaluronic acid injection, and the procedure should be carried out strictly according to the doctor's instructions.
