Restore chin volume and enhance the lower face
Long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
Chin fillers that are used for chin augmentation include hyaluronic acid (HA), autologous fat, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and calcium hydroxylapatite. The specific type of chin fillers used depends on your anatomy, costs and product offered.
Hyaluronic acid fillers help restore volume loss, thus improving facial contour and definition. Chin fillers enhances your facial features that can be customized to your individual natural look. HA fillers lasts from 1-2 years, look natural and has the element of reversibility if necessary.
Chin fillers have emerged as a popular and effective non-surgical option for facial augmentation, providing patients with an opportunity to enhance their profile and achieve a more balanced facial appearance. Utilising advanced dermal fillers, chin augmentation can address a range of aesthetic concerns, such as a weak or recessed chin, asymmetry, or volume loss due to ageing.
Chin augmentation treatment options include autologous fat transfer, implants, genioplasty and injectable chin fillers. Surgical procedures are associated with more downtime, pain and potential complications such as infection, nerve damage, extrusion of implants etc.
Injectable chin fillers presents a non-surgical option with minimal downtime and discomfort in appropriate cases. Chin fillers are simple procedures that can be performed in clinic with minimal downtime.
What is the ideal chin? Does it differ for men and women? Although there are several guidelines available, chin augmentation has to take into account the overall facial aesthetic proportions. The upper -face, mid-face, nose and lips should be considered when planning for any chin augmentation procedure to create a harmonious appearance.
The pogonion is the most forward projecting point of the chin, whereas the menton is the most backward projecting point of the chin. The gnathion sits midpoint between the pogonion and menton.
The Gonzalez-Ulloa line is a vertical line from the nasion (indentation between the forehead and the nose) to the pogonion. An ideal male chin should just meet this line whereas an ideal female chin should just fall short of this line.
Of course, the chin contour, chin height and chin width with respect to the other facial features must be considered to produce a prominent chin with good aesthetic proportions.

As ageing affects different areas of the face and different layers of the skin tissue, the best chin fillers approach is often combined with other treatments to achieve a more natural and harmonious look.
Chin retrusion owing to volume loss rarely occurs in isolation. There may be concomitant volume loss over the cheeks, visible laugh lines and marionette lines that may also benefit from the addition of injectable fillers.
Tense mentalis muscles around the chin and masseter hypertrophy may benefit from botulinum toxin treatments. Relaxing the mentalis muscle overlying the chin leads to better aesthetic improvement and can prolong filler longevity.
In addition, skin laxity on the lower face, neck and cheeks may benefit from energy-based treatments such as HIFU and Genius. These procedures stimulate collagen, enhances skin elasticity and tightens the skin. A multimodality approach that considers the overall facial proportions will therefore lead to better results.
One of the key advantages of chin fillers is the minimally invasive nature of the treatment. Unlike surgical implants, dermal fillers offer immediate results with minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities quickly. The procedure is typically performed in a clinical setting under local anaesthesia, ensuring patient comfort. Results are noticeable immediately, and full effects are seen as the filler integrates with the natural tissue over the following days.

Common and temporary swelling and bruising is to be expected. Bruising will typically fade in 10-14 days.

Uncommon side effects include allergy to filler, infections, granulomas and vascular compromise.
Individuals with the following conditions are not suitable for chin filller injections.
Shortly after your procedure, there will be some swelling around the injected area. Once the swelling has subsided, you will begin to appreciate a natural looking chin that is more contoured and projected.
