CHIN AUGMENTATION
The chin is a defining facial feature.
Like any other facial feature, chins come in various shapes and sizes. A well defined and prominent chin enhances the lower jawline area and creates a beautiful balance of the overall face shape. A prominent chin is often a sign of youth and beauty. Using dermal fillers to augment the shape of the chin has become increasingly popular and highly requested. The chin and side profile can be sculpted in a non-surgical way by using dermal fillers to create a natural and more aesthetically contoured and defined chin.
How The Procedure Works
A consultation to assess the areas of concern and results desired will be completed first.. The area will be cleaned and disinfected, and the filler is then strategically injected into the tissue to increase volume, shape, and length to the chin. Multiple injections are administered to the targeted chin areas in order to build the chin. The chin usually requires 1-2 syringes to achieve desirable results. Treatment can take approximately 30 minutes, depending on how many syringes are being used.
WHY DO A CHIN FILLER?
If you want a better profile you can consider chin fillers, the treatment is non-surgical and quick and creates a beautiful and natural result. When the chin is injected, the fillers add volume and definition to the chin and lower jawline area. The result is a chin that is proportional and in harmony with your other facial features for a more balanced and contoured appearance and profile.
What the Procedure Feels Like
This area is not particularly painful to inject, however there will be mild pain with the insertion of the needle and minor discomfort and pressure as the filler is deposited. There is a numbing agent combined with the filler minimizing pain and making the procedure very tolerable.
Who Is A Good Candidate
Anyone who would like to enhance and improve the appearance of a weak and under-projected chin by adding volume, projection, and length to it. Dermal fillers are a safe and great alternative for those who are not ready for surgery and permanent results. Even with a modest amount of filler, the chin can have a noticeable and dramatic improvement.
Number of Treatments
Chin sculpting is a process, typically during one session 1-2 syringes are used to build the chin to create a harmonious chin. Fillers can last 9-12 months and varies with individuals, so top ups are needed to maintain the desired look.
What To Expect Immediately After Treatment
Minor swelling and redness are normal immediately after the procedure. It is common to have some minor bruising immediately after the procedure or bruising may appear the next day and may take 5-7 days to subside. Injected areas may feel slightly firm and the gel will soften gradually in the next few days.
When To Expect Results
Results after a chin filler is usually visible immediately after the procedure. Final results will be apparent in the next couple of weeks after the filler has settled and when swelling and bruising has subsided. When the chin is injected, fillers work to add volume and definition to the chin and lower jawline area. The result is a chin that is proportional, and in harmony with other facial features for a more balanced and contoured appearance and profile.
