Chin Filler
Over the past few years, Chin Filler has increased in popularity. With the rise of social media, many people have become self-conscious about their side profile and are seeing remarkable Chin Filler before and after photos. Many of our patients have a desire to change the natural size or shape of their chin. Fortunately, there are several safe, non-invasive, non-surgical methods to improve a patient’s chin and profile.
Through the use of dermal fillers, we can augment, contour and define the chin to create a more balanced, natural-looking facial structure and profile. Optimizing the chin helps to create definition in the lower third of the face. When injected in combination with the cheeks and jawline fillers, it can create a more balanced, youthful appearance. You can trust our board-certified dermatologists to help you achieve the look you desire safely, using only proven, effective treatments.
If you want to know how dermal fillers can improve the appearance of your chin, please call ICON Dermatology & Aesthetics today at (301) 810-3600 for a consultation and examination. Our state-of-the-art facility in North Bethesda welcomes patients from Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC.
Goals for Chin Filler Treatment
Patients have different goals in mind when visiting our dermatologists for chin fillers. These goals commonly vary by age, ethnicity, and gender. For example, younger patients are usually focused on augmenting their chin to improve a weak chin, while an older person may want to correct jowling and a double chin. During your initial consultation, our board-certified dermatologists will evaluate your facial structure and profile and have a discussion with you regarding your goals for chin filler treatment. Here are some common goals for this treatment:
Define the chin and jawline
Correct a recessed or weak chin
Treat a deep chin dimple
Address skin laxity under the chin
Improve facial proportion
The good news is that you have plenty of dermal filler options if you are seeking a safe, non-surgical, non-invasive option for chin augmentation. At ICON Dermatology & Aesthetics, it is our goal to help you meet all your aesthetic needs at our office. We offer all the latest and most advanced dermal fillers, so that we can provide you with a range of options to ensure you can achieve the appearance you want.
Some of the fillers we use for chin augmentation include:
Restylane Lyft
Restylane Defyne
RHA 3
RHA 4
Radiesse
Each of these fillers is unique and offers different advantages depending on your personal goals. Our board-certified dermatologists only use fillers that have been proven safe for chin injections. In certain cases, our physicians may treat the lips using a cannula to minimize swelling and bruising, allowing for an easier recovery.
Recovery After Chin Filler Injections
While our physicians use advanced injection techniques to minimize bruising and swelling, you may still experience these side effects. It is common for your chin to appear larger than you would like at first. The swelling will subside within a week or two. Applying ice after injections can help to reduce swelling and bruising.
If you do experience some minor bruising, we recommend the use of OcuMend Hydrogel Pads which you can purchase in-office or from our online store. You can also cover bruising by applying makeup. Because of the possibility of bruising and swelling, we do not recommend having chin filler injections immediately before a big event. Give yourself time for healing to make sure you look your absolute best.

The following treatments may be recommended in conjunction with chin filler in order to maximize your results:

Sofwave for non-invasive tightening of the lower face
PDO Max Threads for lifting and contouring
