The chin plays a crucial role in shaping the face and defining the lower third, along with the jawline. Using dermal fillers to make adjustments to the chin can result in the appearance of a more defined and strong chin, while also creating a harmonious balance between the forehead, nose, and chin. Dermal filler treatments are highly customizable, allowing for personalised treatment plans tailored to each patient’s distinct features and aesthetic preferences.

How can chin filler enhance or redefine the lower face?
PROJECTION OF THE CHIN
Retrusion of the chin can give the impression of a shortened face in profile and fullness under the chin. Strengthening the projection or vertical height of the chin will support these soft tissue structures allowing for more definition of the lower face.
SHAPE
Enhancing the projection of the chin can address issues of chin retrusion, which may give the impression of a shortened face in profile and fullness under the chin. Strengthening the vertical height of the chin provides better support to soft tissue structures, resulting in improved definition of the lower face.
SYMMETRY
Addressing asymmetry is another benefit of chin filler, as it is common for one side of the chin bone to sit lower than the other. By using dermal filler, the chin’s symmetry can be evened out, leading to a more balanced and proportionate appearance.
SMOOTHING OF SKIN
Dermal fillers can help smooth the skin in the chin area. The presence of a facial muscle within the chin can cause dimpling when the lips are pursed together. Combining dermal filler with anti-wrinkle injections can relax the muscle and smooth the overlying skin, reducing the appearance of dimpling.
ANGLE OF THE CHIN
As we age, the chin and jawline may lose bone mass and support, resulting in an upturning of the chin and a downturning of the corners of the mouth. By using dermal fillers, aesthetic support can be provided to the chin and jawline, leading to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
WILL CHIN FILLER HURT?
To enhance comfort during the treatment, a numbing cream may be applied to the specific injection sites. Additionally, most chin fillers include a local anaesthetic that takes immediate effect after the injections, further minimising any potential discomfort. As a result, most patients find the procedure relatively tolerable and experience little to no pain during their chin filler treatment. The use of numbing agents and local anaesthesia helps ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for patients seeking chin enhancement with dermal fillers.

To determine the precise amount of dermal filler required for your specific needs, a consultation with one of our experienced cosmetic injectors is essential.
