Jawline and chin filler augmentation

The positioning of the chin tip (mentum) relative to the face, the width of the chin, and the jawlines are crucial elements influencing facial beauty and gender expression. The protrusion of the chin, especially when viewed from the side, directly affects how we perceive mid-face and nasal angles.

For a softer, more feminine appearance, it is recommended that the mentum does not extend beyond the width of the nose, ending with a slight point, while the chin pillars (mandibular rami) should be angled backward. Conversely, in men, the goal is a broader mentum (approximately the width of the mouth), a robust chin, and a more pronounced mandibular angle. Both genders seek a well-defined transition from the face to the neck and the elimination of sagging under the jaw, resulting in a sleeker and more dynamic look.

To achieve the desired chin shape and projection without surgery, injections of highly crosslinked and durable fillers directly onto the bone, offer a convenient option. Reshaping the jawline and addressing sagging under the chin involves skillful application of filler in strategic areas such as the chin tip, behind the chin pillars, and at sunken points along the chin line, using either a needle and/or a cannula. It's worth noting that masseter Botox can be beneficial in achieving a thinner and more feminine face.

As with any filler procedure, successful and safe outcomes in chin and jawline fillers depend on a thorough understanding of relevant anatomy, familiarity with potential risks, clinical experience, and precise injection techniques using the appropriate products.
