How is it performed?
The harmony of the chin and jawline with the facial profile is assessed. A dense hyaluronic acid filler is placed on the bone or in deep layers along the chin and towards the angle of the jaw. The aim is to project or lengthen the chin and define the jawline.
Who is it suitable for?
- People with a receding chin or undefined jawline
- Those who are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Those without an active infection at the treatment site
Consultation and preparation
- An examination takes place before treatment, and your expectations, medical history and any previous treatments are discussed.
- Blood thinners, aspirin or certain supplements can increase the risk of bruising; please be sure to mention them.
- Treatment may be postponed if there is active acne, a cold sore or infection in the area.
- It is advisable to schedule treatment a few weeks before an important event rather than in the days just before.
Recovery
Daily life can be resumed immediately. There may be tenderness and mild swelling for a few days.
Aftercare advice
- Do not massage or press on the treated area on the first day.
- Avoid intense exercise, saunas, steam baths and excessive heat for the first 24–48 hours.
- Cold compresses can be used for mild swelling or bruising.
- If you notice increasing pain, blanching or discolouration in the treated area, contact us without delay.
Possible risks and complications
- Bruising and swelling at the injection site
- Nodules or irregularities
- Asymmetry
- Vascular occlusion (rare)
- Allergic reaction
Frequently asked questions
Chin filler or chin implant?
Filler requires no surgery and is temporary; an implant provides a permanent structural change. The choice is made at the consultation depending on the desired degree of change.
How long does the filler last?
Duration varies with the product, the treated area and the individual's metabolism. Hyaluronic acid fillers are naturally broken down by the body over time.
Who performs the treatment?
All treatments are performed by Op. Dr. Emre Özbey following an examination and assessment.
Can I return to work after treatment?
After most injectable treatments you can return to daily life and work the same day. Mild swelling or bruising may occur, so plan accordingly.
