The pursuit of beauty is no new concept. And for many, their confidence and self-esteem are closely tied to how they view themselves. As we age, our physical body begins to show signs of ageing that make us conscious and less confident about ourselves. For a lot of people, their chins become a source of disconcertment. Chin fillers have, therefore, emerged as a solution to many, addressing their changing facial features to give them a more desired appearance.
If you have been considering a chin filler, here is everything you should know about the treatment.
What are Chin Fillers?
Chin fillers are injectables administered in and around the chin to reduce wrinkles and age lines, and smoothen the skin. Fillers also add volume for a plumper effect, ideal for areas where loss of volume is prominent. These soft tissue fillers offer a temporary solution and are gradually metabolised by the body.
Who Can Get Chin Dermal Filler?
Dermal fillers are an ideal treatment for most people dealing with signs of ageing. While injectable fillers for chin are a safe procedure, it is crucial to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.
You can opt for a chin filler if you have:
- An asymmetrical chin
- A square jaw
- A weak chin
- A double chin
- Wrinkles around the chin
- A receding chin
- Loss of volume around the chin
We do not recommend chin fillers if you have a history of allergic reactions or bleeding disorders, or are pregnant. Your suitability is determined with an in-person consultation at our Melbourne clinic where we assess your needs before recommending a procedure.
The Benefits of Chin Filler
Chin fillers are a recommended treatment option for being a safe and effective procedure with low risk involved. Some of the benefits of chin filler procedures include:
- Chin fillers help with chin definition to bring in balance and symmetry
- Fillers in the chin strengthen and correct weak or receding chin to sculpt a more aesthetically pleasing profile
- Chin filler treatments are non-invasive and require no incision, suturing, or downtime
- You can resume your daily routine after a chin filler without worrying about a healing period
- Chin fillers give natural-looking results that augment your features without excessively changing your appearance.
- Chin fillers may have very minimal side effects that are temporary and subside over time unlike the after-effects of a surgical procedure
- With care and regular touch-ups, the results of your chin filler can last up to a year.
You can find out more benefits specific to your skin type through a personalised consultation with our practitioners.
The Procedure for Chin Fillers
While injectable fillers for the chin are a sought-after procedure for their effectiveness, understanding what the procedure entails can help you make a more informed decision. Here’s everything you need to know about the treatment.
An initial consultation
This is an important step during a chin filler treatment to identify if you are suited for the procedure. While safe, the procedure may not be the right option for you in certain cases that are better determined after an in-person consultation with a practitioner. Here’s what you can expect during your consultation:
- A thorough assessment of your skin and its needs
- Determining the problem areas
- Creating a treatment plan to accentuate your natural features
- Identifying the sites where fillers should be administered
Once these are determined, your practitioner will schedule an appointment to carry out the procedure at your convenience. You can also ask to see images of chin fillers before and after treatment to know what can be expected from the procedure.
The chin filler procedure
During your chin filler appointment, we will first prepare your skin with numbing agents to administer the fillers in the necessary areas. Once the treatment site is numbed, fillers are carefully injected into the predetermined sites for a fuller effect. The procedure takes less than an hour to carry out with almost no downtime involved. With precise administration of the fillers, we keep discomfort to a minimum so that you are comfortable during your procedure.
After-care
Aftercare is equally important following a chin dermal filler treatment. In some cases, you may experience some mild swelling and redness that subsides in a day or two. We recommend using ice to minimise the swelling and avoiding strenuous activities for a couple of days to give the tenderness some time to heal. You can, however, resume your daily activities immediately after your treatment as long as they are not too vigorous.
