Chin (defined chin with fillers).

The chin is one of our most defining facial features; giving shape to the neck, as well as bringing harmony to the other facial features. As we age, the chin tends to lose volume and projection. These changes can contribute to jowling and cause marionette lines, as well as thinning and wrinkling around the lips. In a non-surgical chin enhancement, injectable dermal fillers can be placed along the chin and around the mouth to add volume and create a more youthful appearance.

Chin Augmentation treatment is a great option for individuals with a weak or receding chin. This is a quick non surgical procedure with dermal filler that can provide subtle enhancement in the shape of the chin and bring balance to the entire face.

Non-surgical chin augmentation has many benefits including:

• Safe, minimally invasive procedure
• Visible results immediately
• Reversible treatment (if you don’t like what you see, it can be reversed on the spot with the protein enzyme hyaluronidase)
• Fast recovery (most patients can return to work the following day)
• Precise, customisable chin contouring
• Natural-looking, aesthetically pleasing results

Although a chin augmentation is a relatively simple procedure, it still requires good judgment, skill and a good aesthetic eye in order to balance the profile properly and enhance facial harmony.

During your initial consultation at our clinic, Rupesh will evaluate your existing profile, desired end results, and explain the procedure in detail. At this time, he will also go over the different options of injectable filler available to best suit your needs.

Rupesh will evaluate your overall facial contours, the underlying bone structure, as well as your lip to chin ratio. He will advice you what to avoid the few days before the procedure.

You will have the opportunity to ask any questions, so that you will know exactly what to expect from the treatment.

Non-surgical chin enhancement is a safe, minimally invasive. The procedure is designed to enhance the appearance of the chin and the lower face. It involves injecting specially selected dermal filler like Juvederm Volux deep into precise areas of the chin to increase its width, length, or projection, and hence building up the chin using a needle or a microcannula. The placement of each injection will vary depending on your facial shape and the look you are aiming to achieve.

Treatment is performed with topical anaesthesia, and patients experience very little pain or discomfort. With a customised procedure, we have the ability to mould a person’s chin to add definition, create symmetry, and bring the chin into a more pleasing balance with the remaining facial features.

After the Chin Augmentation procedure, you may have some minor swelling, tenderness, and bruising at the injection sites, as is common with all types of dermal filler.

Normally, these issues are resolve within a few days, but in some people, they may take longer. There’s no real chin filler recovery time, beyond waiting for these inflammation symptoms to resolve.

We recommend avoiding strenuous activity for the first 24–48 hours after getting chin filler. Try not to apply too much pressure to your chin during this time in order to avoid any displacement of the filler.

Every chin filler treatment will be different depending on what new contour and shape you’re trying to achieve. It also depends on your pain threshold; for some, it may feel painful and for others, it will just be uncomfortable. Majority of people find it very tolerable.

We use a dense filler like Juvederm Voluma or Volux to sculpt a new chin contour. The amount of filler is dependant on the person, though most people, on average, will need at least 1ml of filler. If a hyaluronic filler, like Juvederm Volux filler is used than you can actually remove the dermal filler should there be any issue with it.

Chin filler can last anywhere from one to three years depending on what type of filler was used, how fast your metabolism is, and the depth of the filler placement.

The risks and side effects of chin filler depend on the specific product injected, but fillers are generally quite safe.

Beyond the expected side effects of swelling, bruising, and tenderness, filler complications are uncommon but can include cellulitis (a bacterial infection) and nodules called granulomas. The most serious possible complication is vascular occlusion.

Dermal filler injections offer instantaneous results. Due to natural swelling, you’ll likely see more volume immediately after your chin filler treatment. The final results will be apparent within a few weeks, once any swelling has subsided.

Improving the shape or projection of the chin can bring symmetry and balance to your features and enhance the appearance of your entire face. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your chin and would like to correct it without undergoing invasive surgery, schedule a consultation to find out if you are a candidate for non-surgical chin augmentation.
