Chin & Jawline Filler

What does it do?

Chin filler is a highly effective way to achieve facial balance and enhance the overall appearance of the face. Often, the chin is an area that is overlooked but plays a crucial role in defining the lower face and jawline. By adding volume and projection to the chin, it can create a more harmonious facial profile from all angles.

Chin filler is often combined with jawline filler to achieve optimal results and create a more defined and sculpted facial appearance.
By strategically injecting fillers along the jawline, it is possible to add volume and structure to this area, helping to create a more defined and sculpted jawline. This can have a significant impact on the overall appearance of the face, enhancing its attractiveness and youthfulness.
However, the most suitable treatment option will depend on each individual's unique facial anatomy and desired outcomes, which can be determined through an in-person consultation.

who is it for?

Chin filler is particularly beneficial for individuals who feel their chin is set too far back or lacks definition, resulting in a weak or recessed appearance. It can help create a more prominent and structured chin, which, in turn, enhances the lower face and jawline aesthetics.

In addition to its role in facial balance, chin filler can also be used to address other specific concerns. For individuals with a square or round face shape, chin filler can aid in elongating and refining the facial contours.

Furthermore, it is a versatile treatment that can target specific issues such as chin dimples, ridges, and deep mental creases. By strategically placing the filler, these imperfections can be softened or eliminated, leading to a smoother and more youthful chin area.

Jawline filler is particularly beneficial for those who desire enhanced definition and structure in the lower face, aiming to achieve a distinct separation between the jawline and neck. It can be an excellent solution for individuals with a double chin, especially when the double chin is not solely due to excess fat but also involves skin laxity and a lack of structural support in the lower face. By combining chin and jawline fillers, practitioners can provide support to loose tissue, resulting in improved facial contours and a reduced appearance of the double chin.

TREATMENT + recovery

The appointment is usually between 45 minutes – 1 hour. It is common to feel some tightness and tenderness for a few days immediately after treatment. Swelling and bruising can be common, in particular when undergoing chin filler, and can take 1-3 weeks to settle.

frequently asked questions

However, it is essential to note that chin filler may not be the right option for those with excess weight in the lower face. If the appearance of a double chin is primarily due to excess fat and not skin laxity, fillers may not effectively address this concern. In such cases, alternative treatments like skin tightening procedures or liposuction may be more suitable.
Individuals with a chin dimple should also be aware that chin filler can soften the dimple. If preserving the dimple is a priority, it may be challenging to achieve with filler. Conversely, completely eliminating a chin dimple may be difficult due to the presence of some skin tethering in the midline.
Before considering jawline filler, it is essential to be relatively close to your ideal weight. Excessive weight gain or carrying significant excess weight in the jawline area may diminish the visible results of the filler and require larger quantities of filler, making it less cost-effective and potentially less effective overall. Therefore, it is advisable to approach the treatment when closer to your desired weight.
Individuals with very loose skin and reduced skin elasticity may not be ideal candidates for jawline filler. Since the filler is placed relatively close to the skin, loose skin may not effectively hold the filler in place, leading to suboptimal results. In such cases, alternative treatments like skin tightening procedures such as Morpheus 8 could be considered as a first option to address skin laxity.
Individuals with a history of anaphylaxis or allergies to wasp stings should exercise caution with fillers. There is a potential risk of an allergic reaction to the filler dissolving enzyme, and the provider must ensure that they can promptly dissolve the filler in case of an emergency. The provider will discuss all potential risks and side effects during the consultation and provide comprehensive aftercare advice to ensure optimal results and safety.
As with any medical treatment, there are potential side effects and risks associated with filler injections, including chin filler. Some of the common side effects include swelling and bruising at the injection site, as well as discomfort during and after the procedure. It is important to note that these side effects are usually temporary and should resolve within a few days to a couple of weeks.
When receiving filler injections, it is normal to experience subtle bumps or irregularities in the treated area initially. Most of this is due to swelling and will gradually resolve as the filler settles and integrates with the surrounding tissues.
If you have a history of cold sores, it is essential to inform the medical professional in advance. The use of needles in the face can potentially trigger a breakout of cold sores, so precautionary measures may be taken to minimise the risk of this happening.
One of the more serious risks associated with filler injections is a vascular occlusion, where the filler inadvertently enters a blood vessel, blocking off the blood supply to the skin. This is a rare but serious complication that can lead to skin damage and, in extreme cases, permanent scarring or blindness. As a responsible medical clinic, we have the necessary equipment and enzymes available to reverse the vascular occlusion if it occurs. It is crucial to recognize this condition promptly, and the clinic is available for communication within the first 48 hours after the treatment to address any concerns.
At NÜ Clinic we use topical anaesthetic to ensure our patients are as comfortable as possible, with dermal filler treatment mild discomfort can be common.
