Chin Augmentation & Shaping with Filler Injections


Dr Darren McKeown offers chin fillers in Glasgow using award-winning HA fillers

A strong, well-defined chin is perceived as a sign of youth and beauty. This is why it is quite rare to see a face that is perceived as young and attractive — male or female — that does not have a strong and well-defined chin and jaw.

However, as we age, the lower jaw shrinks and we lose projection and definition of the chin. As a result of the jaw bone becoming smaller, the overlying soft tissues have less structure and support — and so the skin appears loose and saggy.

Restoring lost volume to the chin can significantly impact facial appearance, improving the facial contours & proportions and reducing the appearance of loose and lax skin. One of the best ways to do this without surgery is with a chin augmentation injection using HA fillers.

Enhance Natural Beauty & Restore Lost Volume with Chin Fillers

Chin filler treatments using hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are suitable for men and women. Patients typically fall into two groups.

The first is a younger group made up of people with a congenitally small chin, which means that their original chin appearance is too small for their face, leading to a disproportionate appearance. For this, volume can be added to either increase the chin’s projection to make it vertically longer or to re-shape an unattractive chin contour. A combination of these is often required to achieve the most attractive facial contour and proportions.

The second group is older and comprises those who have simply lost volume due to ageing. For this group, the aim is to restore facial volume loss and create younger looking skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is non-surgical chin augmentation with filler injections?

A chin enhancement with filler injections aims to improve the overall appearance of your face & skin and combat the signs of ageing without surgery.

On the chin, a dermal filler treatment is used to restore lost volume and enhance the contour of the lower face. At the Aesthetic Medicine Institute, Dr Darren McKeown achieves this with hyaluronic acid (HA), which is injected into the soft tissues around the chin and jaw to add volume, thus replacing weakness with a youthful definition in the treated area.

Is it safe to inject hyaluronic acid into the skin?

Facial fillers with HA can create a sculpted chin safely and effectively.

Hyaluronic acid is the preferred choice for filler for the chin and other parts of the face because of more than just its ability to turn back the time on your skin. It is also one of the safest dermal fillers on the market because it is a naturally occurring substance found in the human body, and because it can be reversed if there are any adverse side effects.

All in all, hyaluronic acid fillers are a trusted non-surgical treatment for rejuvenating the face and skin when overseen by an experienced facial aesthetics practitioner.

How is a chin filler procedure carried out?

Dermal filler treatments for the chin are usually carried out using a micro-cannula injection technique.

This means that a small amount of local anaesthetic is injected along the jawline before a cannula is inserted and the filler material is deposited (usually on top of the bone).

There is very little pain or discomfort associated with the procedure, which is usually complete in under 15 minutes.

Does a filler injection change your facial appearance?

A facial filler treatment can significantly change your face shape without surgery, which is why it is a very popular treatment.

Dermal fillers add volume to the face, which will cause the skin to move back into place for a more defined or sculpted look, which can impact the overall look of the face. However, the results of chin fillers vary from person to person and depend on the shape of your face.

What are the benefits of injecting dermal fillers into the chin?

There are many reasons to get dermal fillers for the chin. Some of these include:

• Long lasting anti-ageing results (up to 12 months)

• Easily & Effectively soften lines and wrinkles as you age

• Enhance the contours of the face without surgery

How long does it take to see results?

You will see results almost instantly, but they will improve over a few weeks as the hyaluronic acid integrates into the tissue of your skin.

Is a chin filler treatment a painful procedure?

When you get chin or jawline fillers injected along the chin in multiple locations, you will feel the pricks on your skin but you shouldn’t feel any pain. However, everyone has different pain thresholds, so some people may experience moderate discomfort during the treatment.

What is the recovery period for facial fillers?

After getting facial fillers injected into the skin, there may be some mild redness and swelling around the treated area. However, most people can resume normal activities immediately because it doesn’t require surgery, so there is almost no downtime.

How long will the side effects last?

Dermal fillers are tolerated well in the chin area and have little to no side effects, but if bruising or swelling does occur, it should only last up to 10 days after the treatment. It is likely to be much less noticeable than treatments on other parts of the face (e.g. lip fillers) because the skin is less sensitive on the chin area.

How long do chin fillers last?

The results of using facial fillers to replace lost volume and restore natural facial features typically last up to 1 year, although this can vary from person to person.

With almost no downtime required, dermal filler treatments are the preferred short-term solution to improving the appearance of the chin and enhancing natural beauty.
