Chin filler

If you feel your chin is inferior to your nose or your lips chin filler can bring your features in to proportion by elongating the lower third of your face and balancing your side profile. Chin filler can also give the appearance of a stronger jawline and add support to the lips.

The results, whilst not permanent, are instant and can last between 9-12 months.

Bruising and swelling are to be expected as with any injection. The chin is a very small area with a small fat pad compartment so it can feel tight after injection and a little tender to touch. Avoid taking ibuprofen as this can bring bruising out.

This procedure is generally not painful but can be slightly uncomfortable. We use a topical numbing cream to take the edge off and the dermal filler also has anaesthtic inside to increase your comfort levels.

Please avoid touching this area for 6-12 hours after injection, this includes affectionate dogs, curious babies and any other foreign objects near the area. You should avoid makeup until the next day. Smoking is not advised in any case, including E-Cigarettes. Avoid any exposure to UV, extreme heat i.e. sauna, steam rooms, sunbeds as this may increase discomfort and swelling. As well as extreme heat, you should also avoid extreme colds, this includes ice packs that are directly applied to the skin. If necessary, you can apply a clean cool compress to the area to reduce any discomfort and swelling. Avoid any dirty packaging from the freezer e.g. bags of peas as this can increase risk of infection. Avoid facial massages and skin resurfacing e.g. Retinol or AHA products until the area has fully healed.
