Chin fillers use injectable dermal fillers to add volume, enhance shape, and improve facial balance. This non-surgical treatment refines the contour of the lower face, providing an alternative to permanent chin implant surgery while requiring minimal downtime.
Given, dermal filler procedures are non-surgical – in other words, minimally invasive – the process is quick and easy in a cosmetic surgeon’s office. The recovery period is also relatively faster as compared to plastic surgery. Swelling should only last for 2 to 3 days.
If you have an underdeveloped and weak chin, chin fillers may suit you. Gel-like substances are injected into the soft tissues of the jaw during the treatment which, in turn, strengthens the chin of dermal filler patients. This may serve as a substitute for chin implants.
Dermal filler injections can enhance the jawline's triangular shape. These also improve the overall shape of the chin, minimize your double chin, and help in making your overall facial appearance look symmetrical.
As soon as you leave your doctor’s office, you’ll see significant results right away. Take note that this procedure doesn’t require dramatic commitments because results are only temporary, lasting for 6 months up to 5 years. Some fillers are naturally and gradually absorbed into the body, while thicker substances which are injected deeper typically last longer. Regular treatment sessions can also increase longevity of your fillers.
Different types of jaw fillers are available now on the market, each one having their own advantages. The type of filler you get depends on your goals and preferences. Listed below are jaw filler options that you may consider:
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occuring substance in your body that keeps the skin hydrated and plump. As you age, the body has less of this substance, which results in fine wrinkles and thinner, saggier skin. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers produce results that last for 6 to 12 months. Juvéderm Voluma, Restylane, and Belotero Balance are some of the most common brands of chin fillers.
Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHa) is also naturally found in your body. This type of filler is a smooth gel with a thicker consistency than hyaluronic acid, making results last longer. It usually lasts around 12 months and eliminates wrinkles and deeper lines. One of the most popular brands of CaHa filler is Radiesse.
Poly-L-lactic Acid is made up of a biodegradable synthetic substance that is safe to use for chin fillers. This kind of filler works to reduce facial wrinkles by supporting the skin’s natural collagen production. It usually lasts around 2 years. One example of this is called Sculptra Aesthetics.
PMMA fillers are made from bovine collagen, a common food ingredient from cows. It keeps the skin fuller and firmer. Results last for five years. This type of filler typically needs multiple shots to achieve maximum efficacy. The most common brand of PMMA fillers is Bellafill.
The thought of undergoing any time of dermal filler procedure might be intimidating, especially if it’s your first time. Compared to other augmentation procedures like facelifts and botox which require surgery, chin filler injections are convenient and minimally invasive. Just don’t forget that preparation is key:
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin: it’s something that you normally get in food. At the base level, HA is your body’s version of lubricant. It cushions the joints and helps your tissue move freely without any friction, preventing inflammation, injury, or other issues with your skin.
However, HA produced by your body slows down over time – and that causes your skin to start sagging and breaking down. By using hyaluronic acid fillers, you’re able to counteract this and keep your skin looking healthier and younger.
Before getting chin filler injections, it is essential that you figure out if you’re an ideal candidate and that you are comfortable with the treatment, as well as with your doctor. Dermal fillers may not be a suitable option for patients with an active skin disease or are currently undergoing certain treatments.
Do not take any blood thinning medications and supplements at least 1 week before your treatment date. These include aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, and ginseng. Ask your doctor for an exhaustive list of medications you should avoid. Minimize alcohol consumption and your smoking habits.
24 hours before your treatment, put on sunscreen or moisturizers that have a minimum SPF level of 30. Excessive sun exposure could damage your skin, degrade filler substances, and exacerbate your skin’s reaction to the treatment during the healing process.
Right after your chin augmentation treatment, it’s normal to experience some bruising, slight discomfort, and swelling. These side effects should decrease as the weeks go by. If you have severe pain, contact your doctor immediately. That said, make sure to follow these postoperative instructions to ensure that you maximize your results:
Do not participate in any strenuous physical activities (e.g., high intensity workouts, heavy lifting) for the first few days following your procedure. You want to keep the chin tissues in place as they heal.
Sleep with your head elevated for 3 weeks after the procedure. This helps minimize swelling in the treatment area.
You may apply a cold compress or ice pack to the treatment area to alleviate any discomfort. The cooling sensation reduces redness, swelling, and bruising. You should also avoid heat inducing activities like saunas and hot showers.
Follow-up sessions are vital to the healing process, as well as to your fillers’ longevity. Any unusual symptoms should be reported to your doctor promptly.
Chin filler procedures are relatively safe. But as with any facial filler, you may have a few temporary and very minimal side effects. It is normal to feel swelling, minor bruising, numbness, redness, and lumpiness for a few days. These side effects may remain longer than usual if you are prone to swelling. Patients taking blood thinners and suffering from a bleeding disorder may run the risk of experiencing these effects more frequently.
Other noticeable temporary side effects include having an asymmetrical appearance, skin damage or scars, skin discoloration, and acne-like bumps for a short amount of time. You should seek medical assistance when you experience an allergic reaction, signs of infection, and if the side effects persist for more than a week
A: Dermal fillers aren’t permanent – your skin will eventually re-absorb the filler material in itself as the ingredients in most dermal filler injections are biocompatible with the skin. However, depending on the type of filler that you use on the treated area (and the amount injected by your provider) you can expect results to last around 6 months to 2 years.
A: Some patients may think that because cheek fillers are extra material inserted under the skin, the procedure might be painful. However, there are specific tools like blunt-tip cannulas or additions like a topical anesthetic that can make your dermal filler injections almost painless. Consult your provider for more details on what they can do to make the procedure as painless as possible.
A: Unlike plastic surgery, patients don’t need a long downtime after their dermal filler injections are already complete. Your provider will give you the exact details on what aftercare you need to follow after a cheek filler treatment, but in general you should avoid rubbing, massaging, or otherwise jostling the injected area a few days after your treatment.
A:Like all cosmetic treatments, insurance will not offer any assistance for cheek filler injections. However, medical spas and plastic surgeons offer discounts and other promotional prices all the time – all you need to do is to find a provider that’s offering them to get the best possible deals.
A:There’s no study confirming that getting cheek filler injections (or dermal filler treatment) has any negative effect on a pregnant woman or their developing baby. However, doctors, experts, and providers will refuse to administer these fillers to pregnant or breastfeeding women because there are just too many unknown risks.
