Chin Augmentation with Dermal Fillers

Introduction

Chin shape plays a key role in overall facial balance. A weak or recessed chin can make the face appear shorter or less defined. At Bayswater Dental Clinic, we use dermal fillers for chin augmentation to enhance profile harmony, strengthen facial proportions, and improve contour without surgery. This minimally invasive treatment offers quick, natural-looking results.

Benefits

Improved facial balance: Creates better proportion between the chin, jawline, and nose.
Non-surgical: No incisions, scarring, or long recovery time.
Customisable: The amount of filler can be adjusted to match your aesthetic goals.
Instant enhancement: Enjoy visible results immediately after treatment.
Reversible and safe: Most fillers can be dissolved if adjustments are needed.
Natural appearance: Refined shaping that complements your facial features.

Treatment Process

Consultation & planning

We begin with a thorough facial assessment to understand your proportions and goals. Our clinician explains how fillers can improve symmetry and create a more defined contour.

Preparation

The skin is cleaned, and a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.

Filler placement

Using a fine needle or cannula, the filler is injected into precise areas of the chin. The product adds projection or definition depending on your desired outcome.

Sculpting and finishing

Once the filler is placed, gentle shaping ensures smoothness and symmetry. We check the profile from several angles and make any fine adjustments needed.

Review and aftercare

You’ll see immediate improvement, and we’ll provide clear aftercare instructions before you leave the clinic.

Treatment usually takes 30–45 minutes and requires minimal downtime.

Cost

To receive an accurate quote for chin augmentation, patients must call the clinic directly. Pricing varies depending on the filler type, the amount used, and the level of correction required.

Aftercare

Proper aftercare helps the filler settle smoothly and maintain optimal results:

Avoid touching, pressing, or massaging the chin for at least 12 hours.
Refrain from strenuous activity, saunas, and hot environments for 24–48 hours.
Apply a cool compress gently if swelling occurs.
Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications for one day.
Try to sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated for the first night.
Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for several days.
Use mild skincare products and avoid peels or exfoliation for a week.

Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may appear briefly and usually resolves within a few days.

Suitability

Ideal candidates include those who:

Feel their chin appears recessed or lacks definition.
Desire improved facial proportion without surgery.
Are in good overall health.
Have realistic expectations about the results.

Treatment may not be suitable if you:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Have active skin infections near the injection site.
Have known allergies to filler ingredients.
Are taking certain blood-thinning medications.

Your clinician will assess suitability during your consultation to ensure the treatment is safe for you.

Alternatives and Complementary Treatments

If chin fillers aren’t the right option, other treatments may help achieve your goals:

Botulinum toxin injections — can help refine jawline definition or reduce chin dimpling.
Dermal fillers for jawline contouring — enhance the lower face alongside chin augmentation.
Thread lift — uses dissolvable sutures to tighten and slightly lift the lower face.
Surgical chin implant — for patients seeking permanent enhancement.
Combination therapy — blending fillers with Botox or skin tightening for a refined, long-lasting outcome.

We’ll discuss all appropriate options to design a treatment plan that best suits your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do results last?

Most patients enjoy results lasting 9 to 18 months, depending on metabolism and filler type.
Is the procedure painful?

A topical anaesthetic is used, so discomfort is minimal. You may feel mild pressure during injection.
