Improvement of chin profile with the use of calcium hydroxylapatite with integral lidocaine

Background and objective: Adequate chin projection is associated with strength in the male jawline, balance to a female face, and a harmonious balance with the nose. The criterion standard to improve the chin profile is surgical placement of a solid implant. However, the emergence of fillers to shape and improve facial features provides new options to achieve immediate results with minimal downtime. Calcium hydroxylapatite plus integral lidocaine (CaHA(+); Merz North America, Inc.) is a filler that provides immediate volume improvement and lasts for ≥1 year.
