Chin / Jaw Filler

A strong, well-defined chin is perceived as a sign of youth and beauty. This is why it is quite rare to see a face that is perceived as young and attractive — male or female — that does not have a strong and well-defined chin and jaw.

Patient Testimonials

Deficiency of the chin and jawline is a common problem that leads to facial disharmony and can lead to early jowl formation. Hear how correcting the chin improved our patient’s profile, and her self confidence.

How Does It Work?

Chin augmentation & shaping with filler injections

A strong, well-defined chin is perceived as a sign of youth and beauty. This is why it is quite rare to see a face that is perceived as young and attractive — male or female — that does not have a strong and well-defined chin and jaw.

However, as we age, the lower jaw shrinks and we lose projection and definition of the chin. As a result of the jaw bone becoming smaller, the overlying soft tissues have less structure and support — and so the skin appears loose and saggy.

Restoring lost volume to the chin can significantly impact facial appearance, improving the facial contours & proportions and reducing the appearance of loose and lax skin. One of the best ways to do this without surgery is with a chin augmentation injection using HA fillers.

This is an example of a patient in her 20s who underwent advancement of her chin to improve her chin and jaw profile.

Enhance Natural Beauty & Restore Lost Volume with Chin Fillers

Chin filler treatments using hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are suitable for men and women. Patients typically fall into two groups.

The first is a younger group made up of people with a congenitally small chin, which means that their original chin appearance is too small for their face, leading to a disproportionate appearance. For this, volume can be added to either increase the chin’s projection to make it vertically longer or to re-shape an unattractive chin contour. A combination of these is often required to achieve the most attractive facial contour and proportions.

The second group is older and comprises those who have simply lost volume due to ageing. For this group, the aim is to restore facial volume loss and create younger looking skin.

Summary

Chin fillers help correct a weak or recessed chin, reduce early jowl formation, and balance the lower face. At McKeown Medical, Dr Rhona Cameron creates bespoke treatment plans to enhance your natural features. Book a consultation to explore chin enhancement tailored to your facial structure.

Transcript

Chin fillers can be a valuable option if you’re looking to improve facial balance and enhance your profile. We can use them to address a recessed or weak chin, which can affect the overall symmetry and harmony of your face. If you have a recessed chin, this predisposes you to early jowl formation, and correcting the chin can also help reduce the appearance of jowls. By augmenting the chin, fillers also help create a more defined jawline and improve the proportional relationship between your chin, nose, and lips. This treatment can also contribute to a more youthful appearance by subtly lifting and contouring the lower face. A consultation will help determine whether chin fillers are right for you by assessing your facial structure, aesthetic goals, and any specific concerns you may have, ensuring a customised approach to your rejuvenation.

Summary

Dr Rhona Cameron explains how properly administered chin filler can enhance your profile without affecting your smile. At McKeown Medical, the team uses precision techniques to balance facial harmony while preserving natural expression. Discover how a subtle enhancement can make a big difference.

Transcript

Chin fillers are designed to enhance the overall balance of your facial profile without adversely affecting your smile. When done correctly, they add definition to the lower face and improve facial harmony by augmenting a recessed or under-projected chin. The treatment enhances the chin’s contour while preserving the natural dynamics of the lower face, including lip movement and smile. However, precision is key; using too much filler or incorrect placement could potentially interfere with the natural expression. That’s why a detailed consultation and a personalised treatment plan are essential to ensure that your smile remains natural and attractive while the chin is subtly enhanced.

How long will chin filler last?

Summary

Chin fillers at McKeown Medical typically last between 18 to 24 months. Dr Rhona Cameron emphasises personalised care and spacing treatments appropriately for long-term, natural-looking results. Schedule your consultation to learn how chin fillers can support facial harmony over time.

Transcript

You can typically expect chin fillers to last between 18 to 24 months, similar to other facial filler treatments. The longevity depends on factors such as the type of filler used, your metabolic rate, and your lifestyle habits. Some patients do break filler down faster than this, but that’s actually quite rare. Most patients are surprised by how long the results last. Over time, the filler is naturally broken down by your body, although this process is slower than we previously thought, so it’s important to leave plenty of space between repeat treatments. By tailoring the treatment plan to your individual needs, we aim to ensure that your chin enhancement remains both effective and natural-looking for as long as possible.

Summary

After losing 13 stone, Tony, 38, felt his face had lost its youthful structure, making him appear more tired than he felt. Wanting a refreshed yet masculine look, he chose Dr Darren McKeown for his expertise in achieving natural results for men. From the warm welcome at the clinic to the painless treatment, Tony’s experience was seamless. Now, he looks as vibrant as he feels, with subtle yet noticeable improvements that have restored his confidence.

Transcript

Hi, my name is Tony. I’m 38 years old, and I work in the hospitality industry. I’m looking to change the round-the-mouth area to the lower facial levels. To achieve, after the weight loss that I went through it’s kind of taken its toll around the lower part of my face and looking to undo as if I was never overweight in the first place and get a more natural, refreshed look. I’m hoping to achieve a more natural look to my face, a more refreshed, natural look, to remove the aging lines and the toll of weight loss that I lost, it’s taken its toll over my features on my face, making me look more tired. Just overall, a more refreshed look, natural being the main thing. I chose Darren to do the work because primarily I’ve seen a lot of other specialists in the field that primarily focus on females. I was sceptical because I didn’t want to have that female look to my face, but observing Darren’s work and other gentlemen who have had it done with Darren have obtained the look that I’m looking to achieve, which would be a more still maintaining a real masculine but natural look. From the word ‘go’ from the telephone call, he felt me with confidence that he could achieve that, so it was a dead set that I was going to go with this one. The experience of having the treatment from start to finish, from walking into the clinic itself, the staff themselves were very warm, very welcoming, and really put any insecurities you had at ease straight away. From going into the treatment itself, obviously, you think there is go in thinking a pain element to that, and that was the opposite case. There was no discomfort whatsoever during the whole process, even afterwards. I feel the results have given me a confidence that I could only have dreamed that I would have ever got back. Since I had a 13 stone weight loss, I thought that where you should be extremely happy with something like that in your life, where you can’t help but reflect on the outcome of that. So to think that I could remotely get my face back to how it should have been, was again, no words to describe how I feel.I wouldn’t say people have noticed that I’ve physically had treatment done itself, but I’ve certainly had people say that I look a lot more refreshed, rested, whether they’re just being polite, but definitely, I feel that I’ve had family members who have maybe, it’s been obvious that I’ve had something done because I never looked like that yesterday. So for people like that myself, but the comments that I’ve had, it’s a really natural look. It’s what I was really going for and I feel that I’ve achieved that.I would definitely recommend the clinic purely because it’s gave me the results that I wanted, which was a really natural look to my face. Everything from the relax, how they make you feel when you first go in for your initial consultation, to the end result and to the aftercare more importantly as well, because you’ll obviously have a few questions that you’ll ask after that when you leave the clinic and they’re more than happy to help you and nothing’s ever to bother.

Summary

This video follows Jennifer, a 27-year-old self-employed hairdresser, as she undergoes a non-surgical nose job to correct a bump that made her feel self-conscious in photos. She shares her experience at Dr Darren McKeown’s Clinic, from her initial consultation to the instant results achieved with dermal fillers.

Transcript

Hi, I’m Jennifer, I’m 27, and I’m a self-employed hairdresser. What I’ve always wanted to change about myself is my nose. It’s got a bump in it that I feel is noticeable when I have pictures taken. I don’t really like getting pictures taken of me unless I’m the one that’s taking them, so that I know what angle I can get the picture at. Especially when I’m out at social events or family gatherings, it’s something I’m always aware of. What I’m hoping to achieve in getting this treatment done, I’m just going to feel so much better about myself and my image. I’m not going to be worrying about what angle I’m getting pictures taken or if anyone’s taking pictures, but I’m not aware. So all round it’s just going to make me feel so much better in myself. I chose this clinic to get the treatment done because my mum had actually came here to have a procedure done, and the results were just outstanding. I’d also followed Darren’s social media account, and the before-and-after pictures just speak for themselves. Also, during my consultation, Darren has been so professional and friendly, and I’m glad that I picked this clinic to get the procedure done. I was a bit nervous; I hadn’t had that procedure done before. I’ve had some other things, but I haven’t had that, and I was surprised as to how quickly it was done. The pain wasn’t really anything at all; it was just a wee scratch. Everyone was really reassuring, and that helped as well. Darren talked me through everything that he was doing as well, so yeah, it was great. After having the treatment done, I was just blown away with the results. I didn’t realise how much it actually bothered me until having it fixed. I just feel so much more confident getting pictures taken, not having to worry about if I’m at a certain angle or ‘are you going to notice the bump’, it’s just made me feel so much more confident in myself. Some of my friends and family have noticed, the ones that I told they knew that I was getting it done; they noticed right away, and they were just absolutely amazed. The people that didn’t notice they knew there was something different about me but they couldn’t put their finger on what it was and then when I showed them the before picture they were just like absolutely amazed that I’d had this total change in such a short appointment but they still all said that I still looked like myself I didn’t look completely different. It just looks so much better, and it makes me feel better as well and more confident. I would definitely recommend Darren’s Clinic to anyone who’s going to get any sort of procedure done everyone’s so friendly so professional just totally make you feel at ease, talk you through everything that they’re going to do, and I think when you’re getting something done on your face or anything like that you want to go somewhere that you know has got a good reputation so I would definitely say that Darren’s Clinic is a good place to come to get anything like that done.

Summary

Looking to enhance your facial structure without surgery? Claire, a 28-year-old HR professional, shares her journey with chin filler treatment at Dr. Darren McKeown’s Glasgow clinic. She wanted a more defined profile to feel confident without makeup, and the results exceeded her expectations!

Transcript

Hi, I’m Claire Louise. I’m 28 years old, and I work in HR. I’ve always been very insecure about my face because of my cheeks and my small chin. I’m so used to wearing makeup to try and contour it to give it more structure, so that’s what I’d like to change. What I’m hoping to achieve is more structure to my face so that I feel more confident without makeup on. This way, I’ll feel happier not having to contour to cover everything up. The reason I chose this clinic is because it’s got a really good reputation and is very well known in Glasgow. I would only ever go somewhere where you would get natural results, and I really do feel that you get that here. I also look for honesty, and I really feel that Darren gives that because I came here a few years ago asking for Botox, and he had actually said I didn’t need that at the time, and I really do think that that helps. I was extremely nervous getting chin filler because I’d never had any work done to my face before. Darren had assured me that everything would be okay and that results would be amazing. He sat me on the chair and explained everything that was going to happen. When he started, I honestly can say it was completely painless. The only thing that you can feel really is like a strange sensation in your chin like almost like a heavy weight. But again, as I said, it was painless, and they also put numbing cream on beforehand. The procedure itself took only a few minutes, which is good for me because I don’t like needles at all. Afterwards, my chin was swollen for a couple of days, and it was very sensitive and quite heavy, but now it just feels like normal to me and like it’s part of my face. I am so pleased with the results. I feel like it’s made a huge difference to my confidence, and it’s also made a huge difference to the shape of my face. It was just a small, subtle tweak that we did, and I honestly can say it’s just made such a difference. So yeah, I feel a lot more happier now. No one has actually noticed that I’ve had any treatment, which I’m really happy about, as I did this for myself, not for anyone else. I’m happy that it’s been a subtle, small difference, but a huge difference to my confidence. I would highly recommend the clinic as Darren and his team are very friendly, knowledgeable, and empathetic. They looked after me from start to finish. If you’re looking for subtle, natural results, then this is definitely the place to go to.

What to Expect

What Is Non-surgical Chin Augmentation With Filler Injections?

A chin enhancement with filler injections aims to improve the overall appearance of your face & skin and combat the signs of ageing without surgery.

On the chin, a dermal filler treatment is used to restore lost volume and enhance the contour of the lower face. We achieve this with hyaluronic acid (HA), which is injected into the soft tissues around the chin and jaw to add volume, thus replacing weakness with a youthful definition in the treated area.

Is It Safe To Inject Hyaluronic Acid Into The Skin?

Facial fillers with HA can create a sculpted chin safely and effectively.

Hyaluronic acid is our preferred choice for filler for the chin and other parts of the face because of more than just its effectiveness. It is also, in our opinion, the safest type of dermal fillers because it is identical to our own naturally occurring hyaluronic acid and can be reversed if the patient is not satisfied with the appearance or if they develop a complication.

We only use products from major leading pharmaceutical companies like Allergan and Galderma.

How Is A Chin Filler Procedure Carried Out?

Dermal filler treatments for the chin are usually carried out using a micro-cannula injection technique.

This usually means that just one single needle puncture is required on each side of the chin before the cannula is inserted and the filler material deposited according to the desired result.

There is very little pain or discomfort associated with the procedure, which is usually complete in under 15 minutes.

Example of jaw & chin treatment with the volumetric facelift

Does A Filler Injection Change Your Facial Appearance?

A facial filler treatment can subtly or significantly change your face shape without surgery, which is why it is a very popular treatment – it’s ability to be tailored to your requirements.

By restoring lost volume, the treatment allows the skin to sit in a more youthful position – with fewer signs of ageing. The results of chin fillers of course can vary from person to person, and depend on the shape of your face.

Common Questions

What are the benefits of injecting dermal fillers into the chin?

There are many reasons to get dermal fillers for the chin. Some of these include:

  • Long lasting anti-ageing results (up to 24 months)
  • Easily & effectively soften lines and wrinkles as you age
  • Enhance the contours of the face without surgery

How long does it take to see results?

You will see results almost instantly, but they will improve over a few weeks as the hyaluronic acid integrates into the tissue of your skin.

Is a chin filler treatment a painful procedure?

You normally feel the first sharp scratch of the injections. However, when the cannula is introduced under the skin you usually only feel movement rather than pain. The filler material contains a local anaesthetic so it numbs as it goes. Most patients therefore only experience very minor discomfort.

What is the recovery period for facial fillers?

After getting facial fillers injected into the skin, there may be some mild redness and swelling around the treated area. However, most people can resume normal activities immediately because it doesn’t require surgery, so there is almost no downtime.

How long will the side effects last?

Dermal fillers are tolerated well in the chin area and have little to no side effects, but if bruising or swelling does occur, it should only last up to 10 days after the treatment. It is likely to be much less noticeable than treatments on other parts of the face (e.g. lip fillers) because the skin is less sensitive on the chin area.

How long do chin fillers last?

The results of using facial fillers to replace lost volume and restore natural facial features typically last up to 2 years, although this can vary from person to person.

With almost no downtime required, dermal filler treatments are a flexible solution to improving the appearance of the chin and enhancing the natural appearance.
