Can filler soften a strong chin? (Photo)

Question

I have a strong chin & big nose that I got from my dad. I noticed in pictures that others take of me it's sticks out a lot & I dont like it. I want to boost my side profile starting with my lips & chin. Can I get filler above my chin to help with this or would that make it look worse? or would I need a surgery? Thanks ahead of time for responses.

The horizontal linear crease that lies above the chin and below the lower lip is called the "mental" crease (and gets its name after the mentum, which is the chin). When this crease is very deep, as appears to be in the photos provided, an HA lifting filler can be used to elevate and smooth it and in so doing can make the chin appear less prominent. An HA lip filler can be used for the lower lip to enhance it and create greater proportionately and harmony between the projections of the lips, chin, and nose in profile. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert. Hope this helps and best of luck.

You have a beautiful chin/profile based off of the photos you provided. An in-person consultation would be needed to give you a more accurate answer as to what treatment would be best to achieve your goals. However, typically if we are trying to achieve a softer appearance to the chin, we may add Botox or other similar products to relax the muscles of the chin which will help them appear less prominent.

Thank you for your question. Based on your description and the photo provided, it sounds like you are looking to enhance your side profile by addressing the prominence of your chin and balancing it with your other facial features.

Dermal fillers can indeed be used to soften the appearance of a strong chin by adding volume to surrounding areas, such as the lips and the area above the chin. This can create a more harmonious profile and reduce the perceived prominence of the chin. However, the extent of improvement with fillers depends on your specific facial anatomy and the degree of correction needed.

In some cases, if the chin is significantly pronounced, surgical options such as genioplasty (chin surgery) might be recommended for a more dramatic and permanent change. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon can provide you with a personalized assessment and the most suitable options for your goals.

I recommend scheduling a consultation with a qualified practitioner who can evaluate your facial structure in person and discuss the best approach to achieve your desired profile.

Best regards,

You have a perfect profile. Your chin shape is what many people desire. I would suggest avoiding adding filler to the chin as it will make it look too big a for bulky, not soft at all.My recommendation is to add filler to your lower lip and maybe int o the chin crease to soften the chin tilt. It will take an artist touch to do that, but I belie that to the the best approach to your concern if you wish to try something at all. Otherwise, your profile is honestly perfect.
