Chin filler can address multiple facial concerns, whether that’s facial balancing, enhancing your profile, or addressing signs of aging. In the quest for a better profile, this procedure is growing in popularity; it’s a procedure we know well and offer at Glowtox. Thinking about getting filler in your chin? We break down what the procedure entails, the benefits, and the potential risks. Here’s a Glowtox deep dive into the world of chin filler.
What is Chin Filler?
Chin filler is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure during which dermal fillers, typically hyaluronic acid-based, are injected into the chin area to reshape, tighten, or define the chin. The aim is to create balance between features such as the nose, lips, and jawline. Fillers can also be used to correct chin asymmetry or to help restore light to shadowed areas.
People love this procedure because it’s minimally invasive, temporary, and requires little to no downtime. It provides an alternative to more invasive chin surgery, such as a chin implant or genioplasty, which carries more risks and a longer recovery period.
“Chin Filler is one of the most important areas when injecting many other areas on the face,” says Nicole DeVincentis, MPA, PA, and Glowtox Founder. “For example, lip are almost always done with the chin in mind to create balance.”
Chin Filler Before and After
During a filler procedure targeting the chin, the Injector places small amounts of dermal filler into specific areas of the chin based on measurements we take. The amount and placement of the filler depend on the patient’s examination and findings.
Hyaluronic acid, the most common filler material, is naturally found in the skin, making it a safer and more biocompatible choice. It works by adding volume beneath the skin, filling areas that may appear recessed, and enhancing the chin’s projection. The results are immediate, though there is usually a short period of swelling that follows the procedure.
How long does it last?
Chin fillers can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used and the individual’s metabolism. Over time, the filler naturally breaks down and is absorbed by the body, at which point patients can choose to undergo another session to maintain the results.
Should you get filler in your chin?
If the results below appeal to you, you may be a good candidate:
1. Improving Facial Balance and symmetry
Many people seek fillers to create better proportions between their facial features. If the chin is recessed or smaller in relation to the nose or forehead, fillers can help create symmetry.
2. Strengthening the Jawline
Chin filler can enhance a weak jawline by improving definition and providing a more sculpted look. This is particularly appealing to those who want a stronger profile without resorting to surgery.
3. Reversing Signs of Aging
As we age, the face loses volume, including in the chin area. This can lead to sagging skin and a less defined jawline. Fillers can help restore this lost volume, offering a more youthful appearance.
4. Not Looking for a Permanent Solution
Unlike chin implants, fillers are not permanent. If you’re unhappy with the results, they can be dissolved with a special enzyme called hyaluronidase. This gives patients peace of mind, knowing that they are not making a lifelong commitment.
Filler is great for people who want subtle, temporary enhancement. You want a non-invasive procedure without surgery and are comfortable with ongoing treatments. You will see immediate results with minimal commitment.
Chin Filler Cost
At Glowtox, the procedure can range in price form $850 to $1200.
Chin filler can be a fantastic way to achieve facial harmony, strengthen the jawline, and reverse some signs of aging. However, it’s not for everyone, and those seeking permanent results may prefer surgical options. It’s essential to consult with a qualified practitioner at Glowtox to discuss your goals, understand the risks, and determine if this procedure is the best choice for you.
