What can chin filler do for me?

When you think about facial aesthetics, your chin may not be the first thing that comes to mind – but it should be a key consideration.

The natural ageing process can change our face in many ways, and this includes our lower face- which can lose its youthful definition. The chin plays an important role in defining the overall harmony of the face, with a well-defined chin helping to balance facial proportions.

Whether you’re looking to enhance a weak chin, balance facial proportions, or add some extra definition to your lower face, chin fillers could be a good option for your aesthetic goals.

Let’s explore the effects of ageing on the lower face, the importance of the chin in facial proportions, how hyaluronic acid filler in the chin can help restore a youthful appearance, then answer some FAQs about dermal fillers for the chin.

How does ageing affect the lower face?

With age, certain areas of our face lose our youthful definition. Facial bones can recede, and facial fat and muscle depletes over time, also known as atrophy. This causes the face to lose volume which contributes to sagging of the skin.

With the lower face in particular- the jawline becomes less defined which can lead to a drooping appearance, and volume loss occurs in the chin which can result in a weaker profile overall. Chin deflation may start early, sometimes occurring in a person’s 30’s.

Why is a defined chin good for facial balance?

Facial symmetry is an important factor in what we perceive as beauty, and the chin plays a key role in achieving that harmony, especially in the facial profile.

There are several theories on what makes a beautiful face, but a heart-shaped face is often associated with a younger appearance. A youthful face is generally a more triangular shape, with equality in the distance between each of the points of the cheekbones and the chin. In the ageing process, gravity acts on all the tissues of the face so it drops downwards, becoming more of a square shape.

A well-proportioned chin helps to balance facial proportions, creating a more aesthetically pleasing look. When the chin is too small or too recessed, it can throw off the balance of the face.

What does chin filler do?

Adding volume with chin fillers can improve facial balance, giving your face a more harmonious appearance without the need for surgery.

Chin filler is designed to enhance and reshape the chin area by adding volume and definition. With hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers, you can achieve a variety of results, from enhancing the chin to improving facial balance. If you feel like your chin is too short, recessed, or lacks definition, chin filler injections can provide a subtle lift and projection, helping to balance your profile.

Chin filler for a round face: Can chin filler help slim my face?

Absolutely! If you have a round face and are looking to create more structure, chin filler is a good option. Adding volume to the chin can elongate your face, helping to balance facial proportions and creating a more triangular shaped face associated with youthfulness. By projecting the chin forward, chin filler can subtly reshape your lower face, giving you a more angular, defined look.

How much chin filler do I need?

The amount of chin filler you’ll need depends on your aesthetic goals and the structure of your chin. Typically, 1-2 syringes of hyaluronic acid filler are enough to provide noticeable improvement. A qualified healthcare professional will assess your facial anatomy and desired outcome to determine the right amount for you.

How long does chin filler last?

Factors like your metabolism, lifestyle, and skin type can impact the longevity of the filler. When you choose BELOTERO® Volume, you can expect the results to last anywhere from 12 to 18 months.

What makes BELOTERO Volume a good choice for chin fillers?

BELOTERO Volume is made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin. It’s known for its smooth integration into the skin’s tissues. This can give you more of a natural look and feel, providing restored volume without compromising on facial movement or expression.

What to expect during your chin filler treatment

Firstly, your practitioner will assess your suitability for the treatment based on your facial anatomy and your desired outcome. Your healthcare professional will use a fine needle to inject the filler into precise areas of your chin. You may experience some temporary side effects such as bruising, lumps, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site, but these usually resolve within a few days.

The importance of choosing a qualified healthcare professional

As with any aesthetic treatment, the most important thing is to make sure you’re in the hands of a qualified healthcare practitioner. Injecting dermal fillers requires an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy to ensure that your results are best suited to your aesthetic goals. By choosing a licensed, experienced professional, you can minimise the chance of complications and achieve an optimal outcome.
