Info: Chin, Cheek and Jawline Filler Treatments

What is Chin Filler and what does it do?

The chin is an under-rated part of the face. Enhancing the chin can provide balance against the nose when viewed from the side (i.e your profile) and can contribute towards a masculine or feminine appearance. It can also soften the effect of having jowls or a double chin and can also improve the appearance of the chin when someone has an overbite.

Previously, surgery was the only solution to enhancing one’s chin, either through a hard plastic/metal implant or by breaking the jaw bone to bring the whole chin forwards (genioplasty). As you can imagine this is quite invasive, expensive and comes with lots of risk. Nowadays, dermal fillers can be used to achieve chin enhancement with results just as good as surgery but at a fraction of the risk and the cost.

Dermal filler is effectively a gel made of cross-linked hyaluronic acid (which is contained naturally within the skin itself) which gives it the ability to provide structural enhancements to the chin. Because hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the skin, the filler usually integrates really well into the skin and can lead to enhancements that look natural but impactful.

It’s important that the treatment is applied conservatively to ensure that just the right amount is used to prevent over-filling. This is why the treatment should be conducted by an experienced clinician who knows exactly what they are doing and can tailor the treatment to your specific needs and goals.

What is Cheek Filler and what does it do?

The cheeks are an integral part of our face, they contribute towards volume as well as structure. Enhancing the cheeks could enhance the masculinity or femininity of one’s face by enhancing the structure accordingly. The cheeks can also lose volume as we age or lose weight which can make us look tired or unhealthy. Dermal fillers can help enhance structure or restore lost volume in the cheeks while maintaining the natural appearance of the face.

Dermal filler is effectively a gel made of cross-linked hyaluronic acid (which is contained naturally within the skin itself) which gives it the ability to provide structural enhancements, such as lifting the cheeks or restoring lost volume. Because hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the skin, the filler usually integrates really well into the skin and can lead to enhancements that look natural but impactful.

What is Jawline Filler and what does it do?

Dermal filler in the jawline can be used to soften the angle of the jaw (to feminise) or deepen/widen it (to masculinise). The chin can also be enhanced to improve the balance of the face in profile (when viewed from the side) which can often indirectly make our faces appear more symmetrical or our noses appear smaller. Enhancing the chin can also be used to lengthen the face or tighten submental fat (double chins). Lastly, dermal fillers can be applied across the chin and jawline to soften the effect of jowls- loose skin that hangs over the jawline area as a result of skin laxity caused by ageing. Therefore, dermal filler has multiple uses across the chin, cheeks and jawline areas depending on how it is applied and is a key element in improving or restoring the structure of the face.

Dermal filler is effectively a gel made of hyaluronic acid (which is contained naturally within the skin itself) which can restore the lost volume in various areas around the face. Because dermal fillers are found naturally in the skin, rejection is almost unheard of and the filler usually integrates really well into the tissues- so much so that most people, including yourself, won’t be able to tell that it’s there.
