im kind of a weird case, i have a weak chin in the front with a dimple.  but only in the front of the chin *my sides are fine*.  my doctor advised me against a chin implant because the chin implant would make the sides of my chin larger than they already are but wouldnt help the dimple.  he suggested either doing restaylne which would improve it definately but he couldnt say to what degree or i could do a fat injection.  he said that either option would be good but id have to wait to set up an operation date for the fat injection but could get the restaylne done as fast as i wanted. can anyone maybe help me out with a few pros/cons because i cant figure out for the life of me which one i wanna go for

I like dimples. But if you do not like yours, I think I would first try restylane, since it is easier to do. If you like you final look, you can do fat injection later. With fat injection, it all depends on your doctors experience and skills. When I had it first done (lips), the doctor did not inject enough fat and it all absorbed within 1 month. I had it redone using different doctor, who was specialized in this. He injected a lot of fat, my lips were huge for about 3 weeks. But after that it was looking great and lasted about 2 years. He said if I have it done 3x or more with fat, it will more likely become permanent. I was very happy with results and would have it done again.

My daughter had a fat injection to plumb out a scar on her ankle.  The did some small liposuction on her abdomen, harvested the fat, and wove it through the scar.  It does tend to reabsorb so they have to do too much at first.  She has had it done twice and the result is pretty good.  It is very expensive though for such a minor procedure.
