What do you think? Fixing receeding chin without surgury!

#1 Post by VistaXP »

Hey guys, I was researching on trying to fix my receding chin and lip strain and found this guy Dr. Rivkin who uses injection called Artefill (which can last about 10 years or permanent). It only cost about $3000 and can be done in without surgery.

There's a before and after photo here: http://www.westsidemedicalspa.com/befor ... _chin.html

And also a comparison of non-surgical vs. Traditional chin implant: http://www.westsidemedicalspa.com/chin_compare.html

What do you guys think? Is it too good to be true? He has been on shows like Tyra Banks, Extra, CBS News, etc.

I think it's a bad idea. That's just like putting a bandaid on a gun shot wound.

Most of us here get the surgery for many reasons like improving our breathing, eating/biting, and sinuses. That wouldn't help any of that.
