What Can You Expect from Chin Filler?

Your chin supports your entire face, and augmentation can make a significant difference in terms of definition and balance.

“The chin is one of the most under-appreciated yet potentially game-changing areas of the face,” says Omaha, NE dermatologist Joel Schlessinger, MD. “Most people don’t realize the magic that can happen if a recessed chin is corrected.”

While chin implants are certainly a great option, especially when someone is looking to replace lost volume and achieve more projection, Dr. Schlessinger notes that an implant’s fixed position can make it more noticeable as the face changes, making filler a more attractive option for many younger patients. According to New York facial plastic surgeon Lee Ann M. Klausner, MD, chin filler is the ideal choice for those who aren’t ready to commit to options like a chin implant. “Filler is also a good option if you only need a small amount of augmentation,” she says.

Chin filler can be used to improve the appearance of a double chin, increase jaw definition and help create facial balance. According to New York dermatologist Marina Peredo, MD, it can also help with projection. “As we age, especially in women, the heart-shaped face becomes more square. It’s not as soft or feminine,” explains Dr. Peredo. “If the chin is receding or the lower face is heavy, I may inject under the mentalis or along the bone to elongate or lift.”

What Kind of Filler Should I Choose for My Chin?

Like all things aesthetics, the best fit for you will consider your goals and your unique anatomy.

“Men typically want a strong, angular jaw, especially at the gonial angle,” notes Monroe, LA, and Southlake, TX dermatologist Janine Hopkins, MD. “I use Radiesse for that contour. For women, I go for a softer, lifted look with Sculptra or a gentle blend of both to keep it feminine without adding bulk.”

How Long Do Results Last?

• Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
• Radiesse results last upwards of a year.
• Sculptra results last over two years.
