Is a weak or receding chin making your other facial features feel out of proportion? If so, talk to the experts at Derma Aesthetics London about chin augmentation in London.
You may think that in order to get a more sculpted chin you need to have chin implant surgery. Whilst this was once the go-to chin enhancement procedure, you can now achieve great results with the help of chin filler treatment.
Chin augmentation surgery requires a lot of downtime and can leave a scar behind. With chin filler treatment, you will have a more sculpted and defined chin area with minimal downtime and less risk of complications.
At Derma Aesthetics London, you will be in the safe hands of a qualified medical professional. Dr Raja is a specialist in aesthetic treatments including dermal filler treatments. He understands how to safely inject dermal filler into the chin bone area and jaw bone area so that you see natural-looking results.

Chin implant surgery vs chin filler treatment
A chin augmentation can be a great way to balance out your facial proportions and create more facial harmony. Whilst both chin fillers and a chin implant procedure can give you a more defined chin and jawline, surgical procedures carry more risk of infection and other complications.
Chin surgery uses a chin implant to help with the projection of the chin and make the chin longer or bigger to sit in line with the nose. Unlike breast implants, which use soft silicone implants, a chin implant has a more firm and rigid structure. It can be made of solid silicone or another type of material. Chin implants are also used to help with reconstructive surgery after an injury or accident.
Dermal fillers for the chin, on the other hand, use a more natural gel-like substance that contains hyaluronic acid as their main ingredient. This is a substance naturally found in the body and is what helps our skin look more plump, full and healthy. They help add volume and contour the chin area without the need for general anaesthetic or long downtimes.
Chin fillers do not offer permanent results like chin implant surgery does. However, they do offer more choices in the shape and size of your chin. We can use chin fillers to create a stronger chin or a more heart-shaped face. They last for up to 18 months and naturally dissolve. You can have a top-up treatment to help maintain the results of your treatment.
What are the benefits of chin augmentation with chin fillers?
There are a number of reasons why our patients come to Derma Aesthetics London for chin filler treatment. These include:
- To enhance facial balance and make other parts of the face such as the lips and nose appear more in proportion.
- To correct a receding chin. Fillers help to restore chin projection and give a stronger facial profile.
- To improve facial symmetry. This again can help with making your facial features look more proportionate.
- Address facial ageing. As we age our skin starts to sag and become more loose. Chin fillers help to plump, lift and tighten the skin. This helps to reduce the appearance of a double chin or sagging jowls.
- Reduce dimples on the chin by smoothing out the area and giving it a more even appearance.
What to expect during chin filler treatment
The consultation
The first step of your chin augmentation journey will be to have an in-depth consultation with Dr Raja at our London clinic. He will sit down with you to assess your chin, look at your medical history and talk to you about your concerns and what you would like to achieve.
Your consultation is also a chance for you to hear more about what chin fillers are and what they do. You will be able to see chin augmentation results from our other patients and ask any questions you might have.
From this, Dr Raja will create a bespoke treatment plan. This will include what results you will likely achieve, how much your chin filler treatment will cost, and any other bits of information you need to know to help you make the right decision for you.
Your chin filler treatment
Chin fillers are a straightforward treatment that will take 30-60 minutes to complete. Some of our patients have jawline fillers at the same time to create a more balanced lower face. This will depend on your facial structure and what look you want to achieve.
If you are sensitive to needles or have anxiety around injections, the doctor can apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area first. This is optional and something we will discuss with you before your treatment starts.
Dr Raja will inject the dermal filler at different points in and around your chin. This will be based on what you are looking to correct, but it will also add more shape and definition to your chin.
At our London clinic, we use a cannula or thin needle to ensure fewer injections and more precise placement of the filler. It also helps to minimise the chance of swelling or bruising post-treatment.
You will see the results of your treatment right away. However, it can take 1-2 weeks for your chin fillers to settle and for the final result to show.
After your chin filler treatment
You may see some mild redness and swelling at the injection points for 24-48 hours. This is normal and will go down. Dr Raja will provide you with some aftercare advice to help you take care of your skin and get the most out of your results.
As part of your aftercare, we will advise you to avoid the following:
- Avoid touching or applying pressure to the chin area for 24 hours
- No strenuous activity or exercise for the first 48 hours
- Always wear sun protection when outside
- You should avoid alcohol for 48 hours and make sure you stay hydrated
