Chin Augmentation

A nice chin adds balance and definition to the face. Not everyone is born with the perfect chin and through the process of aging, the chin (along with all the bones and subcutaneous structures) can become “weaker” in its structure.

Patients who prefer an alternative chin structure now have an important alternative to chin surgery. Jawline contouring using surgery has many risks including scarring, infection, and anesthesia complications. Therefore, non surgical chin augmentation (or chin augmentation with fillers) is becoming more popular. Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation might have some swelling or bruising at the site of the injection, but overall requires almost no recovery.

What is Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation?

Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation is a safe, non-invasive alternative to jawline contouring. Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation involves injecting a filler such as Radiesse (Radiesse jawline!) or Hylauronic acid fillers such as (Restylane, Voluma or Juvederm) into precise dermal planes of the chin to create a more aesthetic length, depth or prominence to the lower face. When looking at jawline filler before and after photos, patients are always surprised by the subtly.

Who Can Benefit From Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation?

Women always appreciate having a more youthful neck and jaw, and using fillers is a great first step to create a more pronounced demarcation between the face and the neck. In men, having a strong jawline and a “manly strong chin” creates a more balanced aesthetic facial contour. In both sexes, non surgical chin augmentation and jawline contouring is an important aspect of facial contouring.

The Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation Procedure Process

Like the use of any other dermal fillers, chin augmentation is an art. Natural looking chin augmentation and jawline contouring requires full respect of the 3D structures of the soft tissues and underlying skeletal framework, and a calibrated hand for precise placement of the exact amounts of the correct fillers. 

In addition to technique, a non-surgical chin augmentation procedure begins with a careful assessment of the patient’s facial balance, profile, and aesthetic goals. The treatment typically takes less than an hour and because the results are immediate and require little to no downtime, patients can return to their daily activities soon after the procedure, making it a convenient alternative to surgical implants.

Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation Recovery

Recovery from non-surgical chin augmentation is generally minimal, making it an appealing option for busy patients. Most individuals can return to work or social activities the same day, with only mild swelling, redness, or bruising around the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days. However, patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise or direct pressure on the chin for the first 24–48 hours to ensure the filler settles properly.

How Long Do Results Last?

The longevity of non-surgical chin augmentation results depends on the type of filler used, the patient’s metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 9–18 months, while fillers like Radiesse may provide results for up to two years.

Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation vs. Surgical Chin Implants

While both treatments enhance chin projection and facial balance, they differ significantly in process, risks, and recovery. Non-surgical chin augmentation uses injectable fillers to achieve immediate results with little downtime and no scarring, making it ideal for patients seeking a temporary or adjustable solution. In contrast, surgical chin implants provide permanent structural changes but involve anesthesia, incisions, and a longer recovery.
