Chin Filler: Before and After
If your chin is a daily source of insecurity, non-surgical procedures like chin filler injections can help you tackle your concerns.
Considering chin filler but not sure where to begin? Read on to learn the basics and see some incredible before and after photos.
What is chin filler?
Before we jump into the before and after results, let’s unpack what chin filler actually is.
Botox and other non-invasive skin care treatments are more and more common these days, thanks to their increased accessibility and awareness. Chin filler is another non-surgical cosmetic treatment that can ultimately improve the youthfulness and volume of your face.
Chin filler consists of injections to the chin and jawline, made with ingredients like hyaluronic acid to smooth out creases, improve volume and help contour the face. While you may experience mild discomfort, your Skin Pharm provider will use a numbing cream before your injections to minimize any potential pain.
Like other non-surgical options, there’s virtually no recovery time needed for chin filler. There might be some redness and swelling immediately after receiving the injections, but it should go down within a mere few hours or a day — and best of all, the results show immediately.
What are the before and after effects of chin filler?
Chin filler can be used to target and improve the appearance of specific concerns. Whether you're looking for more definition in your jawline, a tighter face or even just more facial symmetry, chin filler could be a great option for you.
Sagging skin
With aging comes increased skin sagging, especially around the chin — you might develop sagging under the chin, called jowls, a common skin concern for many. Thanks to chin filler, you can rid yourself of jowls quickly and easily.
Above, you can see the impressive difference in the chin before and after using filler. Before, the chin stretches and sags more than desired, and after using chin filler, the skin appears tighter, more toned and more youthful. The jowls have disappeared and instead are replaced by a smooth, sculpted chin and jawline.
Definition
Do you lack structure in your chin and jawline region? Chin filler can add the perfect definition.
Above, we started out with a very soft jawline before injections. The softness of their features made it so the chin and jaw lacked definition — but after using filler, the chin appears tighter, giving our patient some definition and creating a structured jawline.
Volume
Looking for more shape and volume in your face? Chin filler is a great option for creating facial volume.
Check out the photos above to see how, before chin filler injections, the face looks softer, less defined and even a bit sunken in some areas. After filler, the chin becomes fuller and more defined, giving the face more shape and volume.
Facial symmetry
Did you know chin filler can even help restore facial symmetry? Symmetry makes your face look more balanced and can massively improve confidence.
Before chin filler, our patient dealt with dimpling and areas that lacked definition. After receiving chin filler, the client not only has more volume and definition, but each side of the jawline matches the other and creates a beautiful balance in the face.
Is there chin filler upkeep?
Like any cosmetic treatment, there are a few things to keep in mind with chin filler.
When getting filler of any kind, it’s important to understand that the results are not completely permanent, unlike more invasive procedures like plastic surgery. With filler, the results typically last for anywhere from 6-12 months.
To help maintain your results, see your skin care provider for a touch-up every six months to a year after receiving your first round of chin filler. Your Skin Pharm provider will help determine the right treatment plan and frequency for you, so you can schedule your touch-up appointments based on their guidance.
Outside of touch-ups, it’s also best to maintain a healthy lifestyle and skin care routine. Your habits and diet can impact your skin health and face shape, so be sure to stick to a balanced diet that supports your overall wellness.
Also, keep up with a regular skin care routine to help your skin stay radiant and healthy. Opting for a gentle cleanser, using a moisturizer meant for your skin type and incorporating SPF each day is a great way to maintain glowing skin.
Give chin filler a shot
If you’re frustrated with a lack of volume or definition in your chin and jaw and are ready to make a change, chin filler could be the perfect way to address your concerns — the before and after photos speak for themselves.
Chin filler is a relatively painless option with immediate results, and the Skin Pharm patients we treat with chin filler see an improvement in both their appearance and confidence. Give chin filler a shot — we can't wait to see your before and after!
