Should I Dissolve My Fillers Before Getting A Custom Jawline Implant?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am interested in a custom jawline implant and photos were requested for imaging.

  I would like to send new photos to use for the editing process but I do have some filler in my chin, probably 1/2 syringe or slightly more. Is it best for me to dissolve the filler before sending photos so it’s represents the most accurate depiction of my chin?

A: FYI Imaging is not about showing patients their results. Rather it is about determining the patient’s goals. 

That being said whether the filler should be dissolved depends on the magnitude of its augmentation effect. If it is modest in effect then I would leave it. If its effects are more significant than I would dissolve it.
