Abstract

Background: The chin is an essential element of the facial unit and influences how people perceive facial aesthetic appeal. Hyaluronic acid (HA) gel injections are tried-and-true therapies for regenerative therapies with a record of success in efficacy and safety.

Aims: To determine the best type of concentration of HA and way of injection for deep and superficial planes of chin.

Materials and methods: VYC-20L and VYC-25L (Juvederm Voluma XC® Juvéderm Volux®; Allergan plc) are 20- and 25-mg/mL HA gels with lidocaine, respectively, were injected with cannulas and needles on the bone, respectively.

Results: Chin reinforced respecting the measures with good contouring. No serious complications. Patient was satisfied with results.

Discussion: We advise using VYC 20L superficially above the muscle or with a cannula for injection, and we recommend using VYC 25L in the supraperiosteal plane.

Keywords: VYC 20L; VYC 25L; chin; hyaluronic acid.
