The chin tip is a critical point that completes the “V-line” profile of your face: a dynamic expression, a strong jawline, and a flawless profile… However, a recessed or narrow chin tip can make it difficult to balance your facial features. If you’re saying, “I’m not open to surgery but I want a fuller and more defined chin,” then Chin Filler is perfect for you! At our clinic in Istanbul, the hyaluronic acid fillers applied meticulously by our medical aesthetic and dermatology specialists both project your chin forward and bring perfect symmetry to your facial oval.

What Is Chin Filler?

Chin filler is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure in which FDA/CE-approved hyaluronic acid-based filler is injected into the chin tip area using a fine cannula or needle to:

  • Project Forward and Downward: Achieve ideal projection for recessed chins
  • Eliminate Chin Softness: Create a sharp and defined chin contour
  • Balance the Lower Face Triangle: Perfect the ratio between the lower and midface

The procedure is typically done with 1.0–1.5 ml of filler and its effect lasts for 12–18 months.

Why Choose Chin Filler?

  • Non-Surgical and Quick: Completed in 20–30 minutes with no need for surgical incisions.
  • Instant Visual Transformation: You’ll be amazed by your new chin contour right in the mirror.
  • Minimal Recovery Time: Mild swelling and bruising resolve in 1–3 days; you can return to social life immediately.
  • Reversible: If desired, the filler can be quickly dissolved with hyaluronidase enzyme.
  • Customized Planning: 3D simulation and golden ratio calculations are used to design the ideal form for your face.
  • Hydration and Elasticity: Hyaluronic acid hydrates the subcutaneous area and softens fine lines over time.

Who Can Get Chin Filler?

  • Healthy individuals between 18–65 years old
  • Recessed or Narrow Chin: Those who want to project their chin forward
  • Asymmetrical Chin: Those seeking facial contour balance
  • Afraid of Surgery: Prefer non-invasive methods over prosthetics or implants
  • Need Fast Results & Return to Life: People with busy schedules who can’t afford long recovery times

Note: Individuals who are pregnant/breastfeeding, have active infections, severe bleeding disorders, or a known allergy to hyaluronic acid must get doctor approval before the procedure.

How Is Chin Filler Performed?

Duration: The entire procedure takes 20–30 minutes; you may return to social activities immediately afterward.

The Importance of Doctor Selection

Chin filler requires a professional who understands facial anatomy and harmony in the lower third:

  • Dermatologist, Plastic Surgeon, or Aesthetic Physician: Certified in hyaluronic acid fillers with experience in chin anatomy
  • Portfolio & Before–After Photos: Examine real cases to assess the practitioner’s skill
  • Hygiene and Clinical Standards: Single-use materials in a fully equipped sterile setting
  • Empathetic Communication: A provider who understands your expectations and explains each step
