Question

I had 1 syringe in my chin but I feel like my chin is extremely receded and when I smile it’s very gummy

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

If your chin still looks significantly recessed after one syringe of filler, that does not necessarily mean the filler was ineffective. The appearance of a recessed chin can be related to the underlying bone structure, the position of the lower lip, and the proportions of the nose, lips, and chin—not simply the amount of filler.

For a gummy smile, the situation is a little different. A gummy smile can have several causes, including the way the upper lip moves when you smile, the position of the teeth and gums, or the relationship between the upper jaw and the lips. Chin filler generally will not correct a gummy smile.

For your profile, additional chin filler could potentially provide more projection and improve the balance of the lower face, but there is a point where adding more filler can make the chin look overly heavy or unnatural. If the underlying chin is substantially retruded, a more structural solution such as a chin implant or genioplasty may provide a more significant and predictable improvement.

The best approach is to look at your face as a whole rather than treating the chin in isolation. A small amount of additional filler may be appropriate in some cases, while a more structural correction may be better if the recession is pronounced.

Hello; the chin contour; which is very important for the face. In order to replace the loss of chin contour; first of all, Vaser Lipo should be applied to excess fat in the double chin area. Fat in the chin; is easily erased with Vaser Lipo in a clinical platform; under local anesthesia. By Vaser Liposuction, on the skin, in the implemented area; firmness enhances and the jawbone line becomes clearer. The removed fat; can be placed at the tip of the chin or a different filling can be preferred. It can be applied to the tip of the chin. This, brings for your face to a proportionally more aesthetical point.

Thank you for the photo, this is a common concern and you are in good company. A high cohesivity filler injection is a 10 minute solution that lasts months-years, or a chin implant is a relatively minor surgery that fixes this for good
