When looking in the mirror, you may feel that your chin looks short, your mouth appears relatively protruding, or your chin line is unsatisfactory in your profile. As such, the length and degree of protrusion of the chin can affect the overall proportions and impression of the face. In such cases, chin fillers are sometimes considered.

Today, I will summarize everything from what chin fillers are, their effects, who they are recommended for, duration of results, and precautions after the procedure.

1. What is chin filler?

Chin filler is a procedure that involves injecting filler into the chin area to supplement insufficient volume and adjust the shape or degree of protrusion. Since the chin is located at the lower center of the face, it is said that the facial proportions, not only from the front but also from the side, can appear different depending on the length and degree of protrusion of the chin.

Therefore, with chin fillers, it is said that it is important to adjust the length of the chin, the degree of anterior protrusion, and the left-right balance to suit the individual's face shape and jaw structure, rather than simply making the chin longer.

2. Effects of chin filler

The effects you can expect from chin fillers are said to be as follows.

 

1) Correcting a short chin

If your chin is relatively short, your lower face may appear shorter or the proportions of the lower part of your face may feel stifling. It is said that using chin fillers to add volume to the lacking areas can help adjust the length and shape of the chin.

 

2) Compensating for the degree of protrusion of the recessed jaw

If the chin is set back in the profile view, the mouth may appear relatively more protruding. It is said that fillers can be used to improve the degree of chin protrusion and the facial contour.

 

3) Chin line and facial contouring

If your chin is round or lacks distinct boundaries, the contours of the lower face may appear indistinct. Chin fillers can be used to add volume where needed, helping to define the chin's outline more clearly.

3. Recommended Candidates for Chin Filler

If you have the following concerns, it is said that you can consider chin fillers after a consultation.

 

- Cases where the chin is short and the facial proportions are unsatisfactory

- Cases where the chin appears set back in the side profile

- Cases where the lower face contour appears indistinct due to a lack of volume at the chin

- If you want to improve the shape or line of the chin

 

However, a small-looking chin is not necessarily caused by a lack of chin volume. Since the proportions of the lower face can vary depending on the structure of the jawbone, dental occlusion, and the degree of mouth protrusion, it is important to have your current facial structure examined by a medical professional before deciding on the procedure.

4. Duration of chin filler effects

The duration of chin filler effects can vary depending on the type of filler used, the amount injected, the treatment site, and an individual's metabolic rate. Therefore, it is difficult to definitively state that the effects will last for the same number of months for everyone. However, the average duration is said to be as follows.

 

- Domestic fillers: Average 10-12 months

- Imported fillers: Average 12-18 months

5. Precautions After Chin Filler Procedure

After a filler procedure, temporary symptoms such as swelling, bruising, pain, tenderness, and redness may occur. It is important to keep the following precautions in mind.

 

1) Do not press hard or massage the treatment area.

It is recommended to avoid excessive pressure or massage while the filler is settling.

 

2) Refrain from drinking and smoking

It is said that it is important to avoid drinking and smoking for a few days after the procedure, as they can delay wound healing.

 

3) Avoid intense heat such as in saunas and steam rooms

It is recommended to avoid environments exposed to strong heat, such as saunas or steam rooms, immediately after the procedure.

 

4) Contact a medical institution if you experience severe pain or changes in skin color.

Tenderness and swelling may occur for about 2-3 days after the procedure, but it is important to get checked by a medical professional as soon as possible if skin discoloration or sharp pain is present.

6. Q&A

1) Can I see immediate results right after chin filler?

Since fillers create volume immediately after injection, changes in the shape of the chin can be observed relatively quickly. However, as swelling or injection marks may occur right after the procedure, it is recommended to check the final shape after the swelling subsides.

 

2) What is the price of chin filler?

The price of Maypure filler is 90,000 won per 1cc based on domestic fillers.

If you are considering chin fillers, it is said that rather than simply focusing on lengthening the chin, it is important to determine the treatment direction by taking into account the current length and degree of protrusion of the chin, the position of the lips and nose, and the overall facial proportions.
