Unlocking the Power of Chin Fillers: Transform Your Facial Profile with Natural-Looking Results
You’re probably familiar with dermal fillers and how they replace lost skin volume to smooth out wrinkles. But fillers aren’t just a one-trick pony — the same lifting powers that de-wrinkle your skin can also transform your features by adding new contours. And many have discovered that fillers can give them the defined, chiseled chin they’ve always wanted.
However, it takes an experienced physician with an extensive knowledge of facial anatomy to administer fillers at the precise locations and depths to achieve the results you want. Dr. Naima Cheema, our triple-board-certified physician at Nexclin Medicine, specializes in anti-aging medicine and nonsurgical natural aesthetic treatments, like chin fillers.
In this guide, she discusses everything you need to know about chin fillers.
Types of chin fillers
Along with the rise in popularity, there’s been a rise in manufacturers producing various fillers. Dr. Cheema monitors emerging products and the latest research to ensure we offer only top-line, evidence-based treatments proven safe and effective. We currently offer three brands of chin fillers: Radiesse®, Belotero Balance®, and Juvéderm®.
Radiesse
Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), naturally found in your bones. Microspheres of CaHA are suspended in a water-based gel, so it has a dense consistency that holds its shape well under your skin.
Radiesse also stimulates collagen production, which helps to improve skin elasticity and volume over time. This dual-action — immediate volumizing effect and long-term collagen stimulation — results in a defined, contoured chin that looks natural and youthful. The effects of Radiesse can last up to a year or more.
Belotero Balance
Belotero Balance is a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based filler. Since your body naturally produces HA, it’s familiar with the substance and accepts it without a problem. HA fillers are also great for your skin because they attract and hold onto moisture, resulting in a smoother and plumper appearance.
When we inject Belotero Balance into your skin, the HA binds to water and expands, filling in wrinkles and folds and adding volume to the chin area.
Belotero Balance also has rheological properties that make it ultra smooth and easily injectable. It adapts to your skin’s structural matrix, providing a soft and natural feel.
Juvéderm
Juvedérm is another hyaluronic acid-based filler known for its longevity and versatility. Specifically, we use Juvéderm Voluma® XC to increase chin projection, contour the jawline, and soften cleft chins.
What sets Juvederm apart is its proprietary Vycross® technology, which gives it a super-smooth consistency compared to other fillers. This smooth consistency makes injecting and distributing it evenly under your skin easier.
Vycross technology also gives Juvéderm better lifting and projection capabilities, creates less swelling, and lasts up to 24 months.
What chin fillers can do for your profile
Dr. Cheema evaluates your profile and skin health before recommending a particular brand of chin filler. Since each has unique properties, she selects the filler best suited to your needs and personal goals, such as:
- Contouring your jawline
- Softening a cleft chin
- Defining and strengthening your jawline
- Improving your facial symmetry
- Creating better balance and proportion
- Restructuring your lower face
You can expect to see results immediately after your injection. However, like any medical procedure, chin fillers come with potential side effects, such as redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. More serious complications like infection or allergic reactions may occur in rare cases.
Our team monitors you closely for negative reactions and is here for you if you have questions or concerns.
If you’re ready to recraft your chin without going under the knife, call us to schedule an appointment at Nexclin Medicine in Roswell, Georgia.
