Chin fillers are a non-surgical treatment designed to contour and define the chin, enhancing the lower third of the face. By adding volume, this procedure helps correct retrognathia (a recessed lower jaw) and addresses the loss or sinking of the chin area due to aging or other factors. Placing fillers in the chin area can also create a more defined jawline and lengthen the lower face, helping to achieve a V-shaped facial profile. The treatment offers a balanced, harmonious look by improving chin projection and symmetry.

Duration: The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes.

Downtime: Minimal downtime is involved. Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur but typically resolves within a few days. The results are immediately visible, with effects lasting 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.

Pre- and Post-Care:

• Before: Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and supplements like fish oil for a few days prior to your appointment to minimize bruising. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Consult with your provider beforehand if you have any allergies or sensitivities to fillers.

• After: Avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated area immediately after the procedure. Refrain from strenuous activities and heat exposure (e.g., saunas) for 24–48 hours.

When Not Recommended:

• Not suitable for individuals with active skin conditions or infections in the treated area.

• Those with severe allergies to hyaluronic acid or other filler ingredients should consult their provider first.

• Not advised for individuals with previous surgeries or medical conditions that may interfere with filler placement.
