Jaw & Chin Fillers
Introduction Video
What are dermal fillers for jaws and chins?
Dermal fillers are made from naturally occurring Hyaluronic acid. Dermal fillers can be used in the jaw and chin area to improve:
- Sculpting the face to give a chiselled jaw line appearance
- Reduce the signs of aging and smooth sagging joules area
- Improve facial proportions for those who have a retruded or small chin
Dermal fillers can also be used to balance proportion sizes or improve areas of asymmetry on the face.
Do I need a filler in my jaws or chin?
For Aging:
Dermal fillers can be used to improve the signs of aging in the lower face around the jaw and chin area which leads to sagging skin and joules. As the face loses volume with time, the jaw and chin area are also affected giving them a smaller and less prominent appearance. Dermal fillers can be used to recreate the volume that is lost and give a more slender and youthful appearance.
For Sculpting:
Many patients wish to have fillers in their jaw line to add shape to their face. This is a very simple and effective way to give your face a ‘ chiselled model like’ appearance without any surgery or downtime.
For Facial Proportions:
Many people suffer from a small or retruded chin which can reduce ones confidence. Dermal fillers can be used to improve and balance a patients facial profile, which can make a significant difference to their appearance and confidence.
