You’ve heard about how fillers can help to improve dark eye circles and a sunken cheek. But did you know that fillers can also be used to improve your chin? For women, fillers injected into the chin can help re-shape a round face to the coveted V-shape face. And for men in general, a weak chin can be contoured to a square, masculine chin with fillers.

Chin fillers help to restore volume and re-contour the face to create perfect facial harmony.

But how can you tell that you are an ideal candidate for chin filler augmentation? Here are 5 signs that you are ready for chin filler enhancement.

1.You were born with a recessed chin

A recessed chin occurs when the chin projects slightly backward. To determine whether you have a recessed or weak chin, look at your chin from a profile view. If the forward-most point of your chin does not end on the same vertical plane as your lower lip, then you’re diagnosed with a weak or recess chin.

Some of us may be born with a weak chin. An under-projected chin can also be caused by an under-bite or overbite. Whatever that’s causing a recessed chin, chin filler can help remedy a weak chin by improving projection and restoring needed volume.

For chin filler augmentation, a thicker filler is used. Not only do these thicker fillers last longer. Its higher viscosity helps to hold its shape.

2. You have an aging chin

Our face evolves continuously. Rounder in the 20s, the face will become significantly angular in our mid-30. In our 40’s, we lose bone structural support in the lower face. This causes the chin to move backward, thus compromising its projection. As a result, the chin appears weaker. This results in a less defined jawline.

In addition, aging causes fat to accumulate along the jawline. And herein marks the start of jowls and a saggier, lower mid-face. And if the jowls are not addressed, the smooth transition from chin to jawline is marred. Having the jowls “drop” below the jawline ages the face, and is something we want to avoid.

Fret not as chin fillers can help to correct facial disharmony caused by an aging chin. Dermal fillers can be used to improve projection and create a stronger profile view.

To soften jowls, we avoid injecting into the jowl as this makes the jowling more prominent. Instead, we inject superficially along the jawline to blend the chin into the jawline. This reduces the appearance of jowls, and revives the youthful chin you once had in your 20’s!

3. You have a deep dimple or cleft in their chin

For some, a cleft chin is a sign of beauty. But if you loathe your chin dimple, chin fillers could be your savior.

When the filler is injected into the chin, it builds volume, raising the skin at the cleft and improving its proportion with the rest of your chin. Fillers smoothen out the valley in the chin. In short, any telltale signs of your cleft can be completely hidden after a chin filler enhancement.

4. Your chin is asymmetrical

Not all of us are born with a symmetrical chin. Frequently, an asymmetrical chin is attributed to a misaligned jaw. While orthodontic treatment can fix part of the problem, minor corrections can be made with chin fillers too.

To restore facial symmetry, your practitioner will inject filler into the point of the chin that is vertically center to your nose. By creating more projection at the chin, facial harmony is restored.

5. You have a short chin

Thankfully, chin fillers can help to lengthen a short chin. The golden ratio that defines a beautiful face is approximately 1^1/2 times longer than the width of the cheek. So, patients with genetically short chins can benefit by getting chin filler injected into the chin underside to increase its length. Your practitioner will also inject filler to improve anterior projection and improve chin definition.

A longer chin also creates an illusion of a slender neck. This in return improves the distinction between the jaw and the neckline, making the face look slimmer proportionately.

Conclusion

A strong, defined chin is often an overlooked attractive feature of the face. Indeed, subtle changes to the chin can make a profound impact on one’s appearance. A well-done chin filler augmentation can help to improve facial symmetry without losing the character of your face.

Thus, the key is to find an injector with a good eye for beauty. During the consultation, have an honest conversation with your doctor and share your beauty goals and concerns. After all, open communication will help your doctor bring his best to the table, and bring out the best feature in you.
