In the modern injectables era, “profile balancing” has become the standard of care—we value symmetry over size, prioritize the sum over the parts. Rather than correcting a single area in isolation, the savvy injector aims to shore up our facial framework before finessing more central features, to achieve a congruous composition. “We’re using extreme precision to harmonize the face,” explains Dr. Amelia Hausauer<\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist in Campbell, California—“micro-tweaking and making tiny adjustments, top to bottom, to try to get everything to work synchronously and with structural beauty.” <\/p>

The process is somewhat analogous to tuning the individual strings of a guitar to ultimately elicit a symphonic chord upon strumming—or, in this case, upon glancing in the mirror.<\/p>

Since many of us have spent our lives gazing at our reflections straight on, the appearance of our profile is a relatively new concern—one born of selfies and raised by Zoom. (Hey, we’re as tired of writing about Zoom as you are of reading about it, but facts are facts.) According to New York City board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Dara Liotta<\/a>, “Watching ourselves in animation while we talk and, worse still, looking at ourselves in bad lighting and at an unflattering angle, with our laptop camera placed on a desk, below our natural eye level,” has shifted our focus to features we perhaps rarely considered before—the chin being a biggie.<\/p>

How the chin affects your other facial features<\/h2>

Corroborating this fact is our own (heavily doctor-populated) Instagram, which has become a veritable gallery for chin filler before-and-afters. And it’s about time, our experts say. “The chin has long been an underappreciated facial feature,” in Dr. Liotta’s opinion. “A strong chin helps balance our profile and makes our neck look longer and our submental [under-the-chin] angle look deeper,” she explains. “A chin that is appropriately projected also keeps us young-looking—delaying certain signs of aging, like jowling—by physically tenting the skin forward” to a greater degree than a petite or retracted chin.<\/p>
