Will people notice my chin filler?

Question

I want to get chin filler to bring my receding chin forward and balance my profile. I was told during a consultation I only need 1ml voluma. I was wondering how swollen will my chin be after this and will people be able to notice? I have to work the next day I don’t want anyone to know I’ve had it done. Thanks

Just 1 mL of Voluma is not going to make such a huge difference that people will know that you’ve augmented your chin — unless they were hyper-aware of your receding chin in the first place. You may have some bruising after your procedure and that will be noticeable. The bruising also gives you good excuse as to why your chin looks “different” after your “injury.” Great aesthetic work makes you look amazing, but it’s so natural that casual observers can’t quite “put their finger” on why you look so much better. Getting a great new haircut at the same time  that you do a procedure further deflects attention from a specific treatment. Your friends and co-workers will just notice you look better and seem more confident. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will get you the most natural-looking results.

Hello, Th am you for your question. Unfortunately there is not a guaranteed answer. Everyone is different with fillers. Voluma is not a big sweller but the chin area sometimes can be. Maybe try to get the filler on a Friday so you have a couple days before work. Please consult with your physician to determine the best course of action. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your question.  1cc of filler into your chin should lead to a subtle, yet noticeable, change in appearance with minimal swelling.  Be sure to see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consulation to discuss.  Hope this helps.

Voluma can be used to help augment the chin. There can be some swelling, but this is normally fairly mild and in most cases, I do not think it will appear obvious to most people looking at you.

Good afternoon,
Chin filler can look fabulous and really enhance the profile of a face. It is unlikely to be very obvious, however with any injectable procedure there is a risk of bruising and swelling. Its important you book in with an experienced medical practitioner when having injectable treatments. 
Good luck
