Why We Love Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation
Non-surgical chin enhancement is a popular choice for people who want to add contour and definition to their chin and jawline. Without undergoing a surgical procedure, strategically placed dermal fillers in the chin area do a beautiful job of refreshing your appearance. This treatment is a popular choice for many people because of the results they produce, including:
- Shaping the chin to even out asymmetry, make it longer, more angular, or whatever will suit your face the best!
- Re-positioning the chin to align with the note and forehead for a more desirable face shape.
- Restoring volume to the lower face as it begins to ''drop'' with age and supporting the muscles to prevent jowls and a frowning or grumpy appearance.
- A natural look that rejuvenates your face and gives you an extra boost of confidence that comes from knowing that you look your very best.
Chin Augmentation - Before and After
What is Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation?
Non-surgical chin augmentation involves strategically placed dermal fillers at your chin and sometimes jawline. These fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that your body naturally produces. It plumps and adds volume by attracting and retaining water. Results begin to fade between 1 to 2 years after your session before the filler is naturally reabsorbed and dissolved by your body. We are extremely selective with our chin filler brands, using only those that meet the highest standards set by the FDA and Health Canada. To learn more about the brands we carry and hold advanced training in, visit our Dermal Filler Brands page.
Who is Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation For?
Non-surgical chin augmentation is for people of all ages who want to contour and define their chin area. Patients who choose to enhance their chin and jawline with fillers typically seek results such as:
- Giving a recessive chin more definition
- Balancing facial features
- Restoring lost volume
- Smoothing wrinkles
- Filling a cleft
- Creating more definition between the face and neck
- Minimizing the look of a double chin
- Giving a flat chin more contour
Thanks to strategically placed fillers, these issues can be easily corrected for results that our patients absolutely love. There are other perks to non-surgical chin augmentation that make this an attractive procedure:
- It's a non-invasive treatment with no downtime.
- Injections are fully customizable for your desired outcome.
- Results are temporary (lasting around 1 to 2 years), making it a good option for patients who aren't ready for a permanent implant but want to ''try on'' how it will look. The results can even be reversed if needed.
Anyone who wants to improve their facial profile can consider non-surgical chin enhancement to help define the jawline and create results that make you look and feel fantastic.
How is Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation Performed?
After your complimentary non-surgical chin augmentation consultation, we'll create a detailed treatment plan that carefully maps out where to place the fillers to achieve your aesthetic goals. We like to start subtly, especially for first-time chin enhancement patients. Your Aesthetic Nurse Injector will determine the number of syringes your treatment will require and which type of filler to use. What is the best filler for chin augmentation? We use only the highest-quality filler products, Juvederm and Restylane, so our patients will get the best results possible. Your Aesthetic Nurse Injector may apply a numbing cream to the area (some injectables also contain the local anesthetic, lidocaine, to keep you comfortable during your treatment). Next, they will place your fillers into the targeted points, massaging the area to move it into the desired shape.
What Can I Expect with Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation?
A non-surgical chin augmentation session is quick, lasting only about 30 minutes, depending on how much product is used. After your session, you'll notice immediate results. We always have all our patients come in for a follow-up appointment to review results and make sure patients are happy. There is no downtime after a non-surgical chin augmentation treatment, so you're able to carry on with your day. That said, it's recommended that you avoid strenuous activity for the first 24 to 48 hours and that you shouldn't place pressure on your chin during that time so you can avoid your filler shifting out of place. Once it has settled, it won't be able to move as it becomes part of your soft tissue. Patients are typically curious about the longevity of their treatment. How long does non-surgical chin augmentation last? Is non-surgical jawline contouring permanent? You can enjoy your results for roughly 1 to 2 years before the product is naturally metabolized by your body. After that, you'll need a follow-up session to maintain the look of your chin enhancement.
Complementary Treatments to Enhance Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation
Non-surgical chin augmentation is an excellent treatment for contouring your jawline, and many patients choose to address other facial concerns that they have to enhance their results.
