Could HA paste be used reliably and safely to fix a slight cleft chin, without making the overall chin larger? It's not something that bothers me as it can't even be seen except for in certain lighting, but if it could be done I reckon I'd opt for it.

I'm sceptical about the long term safety of HA paste, but it could work I suppose. Have you got a large chin and recessed jaw? Unusual combo, most people with weak jaws have weak chins as well.
I wouldn't worry about the cleft if I were you. I believe some women actually like them. Some people think it makes a man look distinguished. They are ugly on women though.

Well like, it literally can't be seen. Only if you touch it can you feel it, or if there is just the right lighting there will be a slight shadow. It's just one of those minor things I'm curious about.
To be honest I think your concern about HA paste is unfounded. How could it possibly be "unsafe"??
And umm, my chin is pretty normal I'd say. It's just my jaw that is too far back.

My point is that we don't know the long term effects HA paste has on bones. Maybe it is safe, but why use it if you don't have to? That is my thinking. I just think it is unnecessarily overused. If there is a medical reason to use it, for example hip replacement, go ahead and use it. If you're just talking about filling in tiny dimples on your chin when they don't even bother you that much, that doesn't make sense to me. I have a small cleft, it doesn't bother me, but it's your face do what you like.

That's fair enough, I can perfectly understand why you'd want to take that approach. I must just be more of a risk taker. Let's hope you're wrong though! ;D
