A defined jawline plays a significant role in achieving balanced and attractive facial features. Chin filler is a non-surgical procedure that uses hyaluronic acid-based fillers to enhance the chin line, add volume to the chin corners, and create a more prominent jawline. This treatment is tailored to individual needs; the amount of filler, its longevity, and the application areas are determined collaboratively by the doctor and patient. The chin should not be evaluated independently from other facial features; aspects like lip volume, nasal projection, forehead structure, and cheekbone prominence should also be considered. For those seeking permanent results, surgical implant options may be explored.
Before the procedure, the shaping of the chin and jawline is planned, and the necessary areas are carefully identified. The patient’s medical history, expectations, and treatment process are discussed in detail, and pre-procedure photographs may be taken.
Chin filler application typically does not require anesthesia. The filler is precisely injected into the targeted areas using microinjection or cannula techniques. The fillers contain local anesthetics, ensuring minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. The entire process takes approximately 15-20 minutes.
The face can be washed, and normal eating can resume about an hour after the procedure. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur in the treated areas; however, these effects usually resolve on their own within a short period. Slight pain during chewing after filler application to the chin corners is normal and typically subsides within a few days. If necessary, the treatment can be divided into multiple sessions and renewed periodically based on the longevity of the filler.
