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.

An example of using filler at the chin to reduce jowls.
As we age, bone loss occurs from the mandible or lower-jaw – and if the chin was weak to begin with, then the face is often predisposed to early jowl formation. For this reason, correcting deficiency in the chin is essential: both from the perspective of the facial proportions, but also from the perspective of treating jowls. Dermal fillers are the mainstay of augmenting the chin and are performed by all of our non-surgical doctors including Dr Darren McKeown and Dr Rhona Cameron.

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.

I saw Dr Rhona Cameron who I have seen before. She is very welcoming and has a lovely manner. She is easy to talk to and I am very pleased with the results.
A McKeown Medical patient November 2023
From the moment I walked through the door I was treated so well by every member of staff, all so friendly and helpful. I received Halo and BBL I was a little nervous but Dr Rhona completely put my mind at rest.
After my treatments I was taken good care of and Dr Darren came and reassured me too which was an added bonus. I returned a few weeks later for my checkup and again was treated so well, Dr Darren remembered me which was lovely.
I am delighted with the results of my treatment I feel my skin looks so much fresher and this in turn has lifted my self esteem which had previously been at a low point. I highly recommend both these treatments and would not hesitate to return to Dr Darren’s Clinic in the future. Thank you to all again.
A McKeown Medical patient December 2023
It’s just a lovely clinic. Everyone is very professional and it feels very high end, so you know you’re in safe hands, but they’re also friendly, welcoming and warm which really matters when visiting as it helps you feel at ease & relaxed.
The best place for the best advice and the best service. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
A McKeown Medical patient November 2023
From my very first contact with yourselves to the minute I left the attention to detail and client service was impeccable, every member of staff I came into contact with was so friendly and professional put me at ease so much. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with environments like this however this was furthest from my thoughts on arrival.
My consultation answered all concerns Dr Rhona explained what would give me best results as to what I was looking to achieve . As I was travelling from a far your team kindly got my booked in same day for my treatment so I didn’t have to make another journey. Upon my procedure which again every step of the way was explained my therapist was so attentive talked me through everything step as she was carrying out my treatment and explained all my after care.
I am currently in day 3 of the Halo treatment and everything is exactly what I was told to expect. I am now looking forward to seeing end result. Thank you to you and your team .

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.
