How receded is my chin? How to fix its appearance? (Photo)

Question

I noticed a while ago that my chin looks weak, like it’s not prominent like a lot of the people I see around me. How weak is it? Would filler help? I’d love to fix it, in your professional opinion, how many CCs should be put in? What should I avoid when looking for a professional? Does filler make your chin look droopy after a while?

Based on your photo, you may indeed be a good candidate for a rubberized silicone chin implant. I would recommend this over filler, since it is a permanent fix, and if you don't like it, it is easily reversible. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Chin filler would be a great option, and you would be an excellent candidate for this based on the photos provided. An in-person evalution would be necessary for a more exact estimation on how much you would need, but on average most people need between one to three full syringes of product to give results.

Based on the photos you’ve shared, your chin recession appears relatively minor, but I understand how it can affect the balance of your profile. If you're looking to enhance your chin's prominence, hyaluronic acid fillers are an excellent non-surgical option. Most patients require 1-3 syringes (1-3 cc’s) to achieve noticeable results, though the exact amount varies depending on individual anatomy and goals.
For the best outcome, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced provider specializing in facial balancing. This ensures the treatment is tailored to your unique features, and they can help guide you on the right amount of filler for your needs. Make sure to choose a skilled, board-certified professional to ensure safe and natural-looking results.

Assessing the degree of chin recession typically involves a facial analysis, often using profile photos to evaluate the alignment of facial features. A receded chin can affect facial harmony and is commonly addressed with dermal fillers or surgical options like a chin implant.

Chin Assessment: Without a photo, it's challenging to determine how receded your chin may be. However, a weak chin is usually defined as being set back from the ideal facial line drawn from the forehead through the nose.

Using Fillers: Dermal fillers can be an effective non-surgical option to enhance chin projection and improve overall facial balance. Fillers like hyaluronic acid can add volume and contour the chin area.

Amount of Filler: The specific amount of filler (measured in cc's) needed varies depending on individual anatomy and desired outcome. A consultation with a qualified professional can provide a personalized treatment plan.

Choosing a Professional: Look for a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with experience in facial aesthetics. Review their before-and-after photos of previous patients and ensure they have a solid understanding of facial anatomy.

Potential Downsides: Over time, fillers do naturally break down and are absorbed by the body. This process does not typically cause drooping, but regular maintenance is needed to maintain the results.

Discuss your goals and concerns with a specialist to determine the best approach for enhancing your chin's appearance.

At least from the profile photos provided, there appears to a lack of harmony between the projections of the nose, lips and chin, which seems somewhat recessed. The use of an appropriately robust HA volumizing filler in the hands of an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert, can easily remedy this situation, typically in one fifteen minutes treatment session with immediate, on-the-spot results and little to no significant downtime. Hope this helps and best of luck.
