What are the common aesthetic objectives of people getting chin fillers?

Doctor's Answers 2

The chin is an important focal point of the jawline that forms part of the "Golden Triangle of Youth" of the face. It is no wonder non-surgical chin augmentation with natural filler microinjection is such a commonly performed lunchtime treatment.

From past experience, many patients who undergo chin fillers often complain of a prominent double chin, a prematurely saggy jawline or a dimply chin, instead of a "small or blunted chin". A few have even complained that their noses are too big or their necks are too stout when the actual issue lies in a relatively weak chin and jawline.

Hence, improving the length, shape, and projection of the chin with fillers can instantly enhance the balance and proportion of the face and add definition to the jawline. This elevates the youthful beauty of the face.

In my opinion, any facial contouring treatment (whether filler or surgical) should look natural and in harmony with the rest of the features. Most patients want a balanced and defined chin that refreshes and beautifies without looking obviously "done", like an expertly enhanced set of brows would. Finding a doctor who shares your personal aesthetics is important.

The most common aesthetic objective of someone seeking to do a chin filler would be to achieve a V-shaped face or slimming of the lower face, either alone or in conjunction with the administration of “Botox" to the jaw (masseter) muscles.

Chin fillers can also be administered to enhance the aesthetic profile of someone from the side view, especially in those with an underdeveloped or recessed chin. They can also be administered together with procedures that are aimed at improving the jawline profile or definitions.

In male patients, chin fillers can be used to achieve a stronger looking or more masculine chin.

What are potential complications if nose threads are performed after fillers?

It is common to have both nose dermal fillers and nose thread lift procedure to be done concurrently. Both work well for nose reshaping but are used differently based on one's pre-existing nose condition and desired effect. When I attend to my patients during their initial assessment, I will differentiate their desired nose reshaping effect amenable to dermal fillers and/or thread insertion.

What are the benefits of subcision and fillers as compared to laser and chemical peels to treat enlarged pores? (photo)

Hi,Your enlarged pores are best treated by a combination of topical retinoids, chemical peeling and energy-based fractional procedures (e. g. fractional CO2 laser, fractional microneedle RF, fractionated picosecond laser). There is little role for subcision and fillers in your treatment. Hope this helps!
