Chin Augmentation

Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation can be used with clients who have a small or protracted chin and want to create the appearance of a more prominent chin area. As the face and the jaw area age it can cause tightening of the mentalist muscle in the chin area which can cause the chin to point forwards and give an undesirable appearance.

The use of permanent implants into the chin area have decreased in popularity due to the unnatural look, the risk of associated infection and the down time associated.

Dermal/Cosmetic Fillers for Chin Augmentation

One of the most effective ways to augment the chin area is with a thicker dermal filler which can be used to contour the chin and the jaw area and create the desirable chin shape. Muscle relaxants can also be used effectively in the chin area to relax the muscles in the chin area and also to stop the corners of the mouth pulling down to the lower face.

Dermal fillers can improve:

Size of the chin: Using dermal filler the doctor can increase the size of a small chin

Length of the chin: Some patients feel like the chin is too short and this can be lengthened with the use of dermal fillers

Projection of the chin: Recessive chins  can be injected with dermal filler to create a stronger more projected chin

Shape of the chin: Chins can be made to look rounder, less angular or more pointy with dermal fillers depending upon the requirement.

                                   

Procedure

The procedure for injecting a dermal or cosmetic filler product is relatively simple and painless. Dependent upon the type of filler to be used a skin test may be required to ensure the patient does not have an allergic reaction to the product, but in most cases this is not required.

An anaesthetic cream may be applied to the area for treatment 20 minutes or so prior to the procedure. The treatment is delivered using a pre filled syringe equipped with a very fine needle which is injected into the dermal layer of the skin. The deeper the hollow, the deeper the product is injected into the skin with a thicker filler product used to shape the chin. Different injection techniques may be used depending on the type of filler and the area being treated but usually consist of either a linear threading technique where the needle is inserted into the middle of the wrinkle or a serial puncture technique where several injections are inserted along the wrinkle.

Dermal Filler Recovery

The majority of patients can return to normal life immediately following a dermal or cosmetic filler treatment to the chin area. The effects can be seen immediately and depending upon the area treated and the product used, results can last for between six and ten months. There may be a small amount of swelling or bruising at the site of the injection which will generally settle down over the following 48 hours with patients recommended not to touch the treated area. Some patients may feel the requirement to use a mild painkiller containing paracetamol for a few days following treatment

Chin Augmentation with other treatments

Chin augmentation is very effective when combined with muscle relaxants to the jaw area. Muscle relaxants can be used to soften a strong jaw and release the master muscle giving a softer and less angular look in the jaw and chin area.
