Protruding chin - Filler options? (photo)

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your concerns and your pictures with us. Given your history of oral surgery and slight nerve damage, caution with any invasive procedure like chin reduction is understandable.
Fillers can indeed be a non-invasive alternative to help balance your facial profile by enhancing other areas of your face to divert attention from the chin. For example, injecting fillers in the cheeks can create a more harmonious balance, giving more prominence to the upper third of the face. Lip enhancement and fillers for the labiomental fold as well, could soften transitions and will definitely help balance your profile.
It’s important to consult with an Aesthetic Provider with experience in facial harmonization. It is mandatory to assess your specific facial structure and provide a customized treatment plan that considers your medical history and aesthetic goals. Also, discuss the type of fillers that would be safest and most effective for your situation, considering your nerve sensitivity.
Overall, while fillers offer a less invasive approach that could contour your profile and enhance facial harmony, a detailed consultation is essential to ensure safety and satisfaction with the outcome.

I completely understand wanting to balance your profile without another surgery, especially with your history of nerve sensitivity. Fillers can help create better facial harmony, but it’s important to know that fillers alone can’t reduce the actual size of a protruding chin. They can enhance surrounding areas like the jawline and cheeks to create the illusion of more balance, but they won’t physically reduce the prominence of the chin.
Here’s how fillers might help: • Jawline Fillers – Adding volume to the jawline can soften the appearance of the chin by enhancing the surrounding structure. • Cheek Fillers – Highlighting the midface can draw attention away from the lower face, subtly improving overall balance. • Chin Filler (Strategically Placed) – In some cases, filler can reshape or contour the chin, but this won’t reduce size.
That said, for significant projection, chin reduction surgery is typically the most effective solution. I understand your concerns about nerve damage, and a consultation with a maxillofacial or facial plastic surgeon could help determine if surgery is still an option or if there are alternative approaches to minimize risk.
Even if surgery isn’t the right fit now, fillers can still help improve your side profile temporarily. A skilled injector can create a subtle yet impactful change that complements your natural features.
