Chin Filler: Profile and Jawline Impact (Female & Male)
Why chin matters
Profile triangle = forehead - nose - chin. Short/retruded chin → bigger nose, weak jawline. Bringing chin forward fixes all three.
Candidates
Microgenia, retrognathia (mild), asymmetric chin, lost neck angle, weak jawline. Severe orthognathic problems → maxillofacial surgery.
Sex-specific goal
- Female: longer, softer, oval. ~1–1.5 ml.
- Male: square, wider, projection. ~1.5–2.5 ml + jawline if combined.
Brand
High G-prime: Restylane Lyft, Juvederm Voluma, Teosyal Ultra Deep, Belotero Volume.
Safety
Submental/mental arteries — deep supraperiosteal bolus + cannula + hyaluronidase on-hand.
Duration
12–18 months (movement is low here, lasts longer than face filler).
Filler vs implant
Filler: reversible, periodic, cheaper upfront. Implant: permanent, single surgery, higher commitment. We typically start with filler.
Bottom line
Highest non-surgical ROI for profile. Sex-specific target. Reversible. 12–18 months.
