Chin Fillers (Non-sponsored Post)

So, after my jaw slimming botox, I went in search of chin fillers to lengthen my face. I did a few enquiries and generally it costs about $800 - $1000 depending on the type of filler you choose. I never knew there were SO many different ones except the two I've always read were Restylane and Juvederm. Even under each brand, there were sub-categories. Be sure to do your research as to what is it that you are targetting.

I prefer hyaluronic acid based fillers as they are simply absorbed into your body after about 12 - 18 months (depending on the type of filler and how ur body break it down), it's natural and if you don't like it, simply wait and it'll go away :) 

What I love about dermal fillers it that it has absolutely zero downtime, I took the jab and then went out to meet my friends. Nobody had a clue. The effects are IMMEDIATELY noticeable. I had a non-existent nose bridge and the doctor injected just 0.2ml and voila!!! I HAD A NOSE BRIDGE! Just a little cuz it's only 0.2ml but for me, I could see a more 3D effect to my face. Even the bf said I 'have more nose now'. Chin was immediately elongated too :)

There's a slightly high nose bridge and longer chin. To get a really V shape face, I'll probably need more jabs.

Let's break it down for you. Everything below are HA fillers.

Restylane (Sub Q) 

According to the doctor, this is a hard dermal filler and can last up to 1.5 - 2 years. Remember that different individuals break down the substance differently so the effect will vary. It is highly popular. However, some patients have remarked that the injected area feels hard (lumpy) as it slowly wears off in different parts. It's not something you can notice unless you touch your face though. 

Other types of Restylane products are Perlane, Lip Volume and Restylane. 

Juvederm

Juvederm has a higher concentration of HA than Restylane so Juvederm should last longer than Restylane. Doctors also say that Juvederm are smoother and more natural looking than Restylane. 

For the option with the longest results, opt for Juvederm Voluma.

Teosyal (Ultra Deep)

This filler comes in 1.2ml syringe. It has the ability to resculpt facial contours, restore facial volume, treat deep wrinkles. It is currently one of the longest lasting fillers on the market. 15 - 18months. 

In the end, I chose Teosyal Ultra Deep after much deliberation and advice of the doctor. She also made it a point to explain in detail to me and check my facial features to see if what I requested was something that was needed (she agreed my chin is very short) :) It was a painless experience as Teosyal products contain lidocaine, a type of anaesthesia that makes the injection less painful. I didn't feel any, just the initial prick. 

Total cost? 2000RM (($650 SGD)

Yes, in the end, I felt that going to KL to get it done is going to save me some money. I wrote to a whole bunch of clinic, and spoke to the doctors. I settled for Doctor Sylvia Wai. She was professional, patient and really really took her time to explain everything to me. She did my nose with the spare filler and I'm completely blown over by the change. Now that I've discovered dermal fillers, there's no going back!
