Projection and elongation - Would 2ml of chin filler work for me? (Photos)

Question

I was advised to get 1 ml filler in my chin at chinnth centre for projection and slight elongation. Also 1ml split between each side to avoid creating divots and to have a smoother V. I chickened chickened out as I felt that sounded like a lot. Is it? Or does it look like I need that?

Thank you for sharing your photos and your concerns—it’s completely understandable to feel hesitant when someone recommends more filler than you expected.

From what I can see in your images:

Your chin could benefit from a bit more projection and subtle elongation to enhance your overall facial balance.

The plan you were given—1 mL in the center for projection and 1 mL split between each side to smooth the jawline—is a fairly standard approach for creating a natural, defined V-shape without causing divots or overfilling.

Key points to consider:

Volume feels like a lot, but it’s spread strategically. The total 2 mL is divided to target specific areas. This helps the filler settle naturally without creating an overfilled or artificial look.

Gradual approach: If you’re nervous, you could start with slightly less—say, 1–1.5 mL—and assess the results before completing the full 2 mL. You can always add more later, but it’s harder to remove once it’s placed.

Balance is crucial: The way the filler is split is intended to avoid lumps, divots, or asymmetry, which is especially important for the V-line effect.

Ultimately, the amount recommended seems appropriate for achieving subtle elongation and projection, but listening to your comfort level is important. Starting a bit lighter and building up is a very reasonable approach.
