Chin/Jaw Enhancement - Dermalogic Aesthetics

Our Cardiff and Bristol Dermalogic Aesthetic clinics offer offers dermal filler injections for chin enhancement to add definition, contour and proportion to the face. Dermal fillers are there to provide non-surgical chin augmentation and great alternatives to permanent chin implants which can be problematic as they sometimes cause infection or move. Although fat can be used to transfer into the face adding volume, using dermal filler injections is the only method available to achieve a similar result without the need for surgery. This non-surgical treatment allows patients to get the dramatic results they wish for, without having to resort to surgery.

MORE ABOUT CHIN AUGMENTATION AND RE-SHAPING

A well-proportioned chin has always been considered a thing of beauty and the exact proportions have been studied and defined by artists and used by aesthetic medical professionals to guide procedures. In a new development, chin augmentation with dermal fillers has become the near instant approach to improve beauty with minimal risk and no down time.

Many patients are unhappy with the shape of their chin and are surprised to learn that this can be quite quickly improved using modern aesthetic techniques. A weak chin can be gently reshaped with a completely natural looking result, while unwanted dimpling can be smoothed out.

CHIN AUGMENTATION AND RE-SHAPING USING DERMAL FILLER

Our medical practitioners will add definition, balance and symmetry to your chin using long-lasting dermal fillers for a non-surgical chin augmentation. Dermal filler is made up of hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring sugar) and is injected under the skin of your chin to add volume and shape.

Strengthening the chin can interestingly also play a role in rejuvenation and preventing premature ageing of the lower face, since the extra support created during a chin augmentation prevents the shadows that would form around the sides of the mouth, sometimes known as marionette lines. In other words, the weight of the cheek is better supported in the lower face by a more defined chin.

The TREATMENT PROCESS

Step
1

PRIOR TO TREATMENT

The first step is to speak to one our medical practitioners from our Bristol or Cardiff clinics. You’ll be able to talk to them about why you’re considering dermal filler treatment, the likely costs, and when you’d like to have the treatment. If you feel ready, we’ll then book you in for your free consultation.

At your free consultation, one of our highly trained medical practitioners will discuss in detail about the results you want to achieve. Our medical practitioners will then guide you through your treatment options. Your medical practitioner will talk you through the various dermal filler products we use and which one – or which combination – will achieve the best results for you. We only offer temporary fillers because permanent fillers can cause long-term problems. You can discuss every aspect of your treatment with no obligation to go ahead. Our clinicians are extremely knowledgeable and highly trained and will happily answer any questions you have. If you feel ready to go ahead, we can book your treatment in for a date and time that suits you

TREATMENT

On the day of your treatment, you will be given some more information about your treatment and will also have an opportunity to ask any last-minute questions you may have. Consent forms will also be signed during this appointment. The initial stage involves applying numbing cream to the treatment areas. The new injection technique has allowed the treatment to be very comfortable and not necessarily need any topical anaesthetic. Once it has taken effect, the dermal filler is injected in precise locations into the skin. The practitioner will then massage to smooth the product. The treatment takes about 45 – 60 minutes. However, due to the immediate swelling from the procedure, the final result will not be seen until about 3-4 weeks. A plan for regular follow-up treatments to maintain the initial result can be created for you.

Step

POST TREATMENT

You’ll be able to leave the clinic as soon as your treatment has been completed, and you should be fine to go about your normal day-to-day activities. Any swelling or bruising usually disappears within 48 hours.

We believe that the highest quality aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself, so we’re here to support you. Aftercare will be explained to you before you leave our clinic and you have the opportunity to ask us anything if you need. If you have any questions or concerns at all, you can always contact Dermalogic Aesthetics at any time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You’ll have the opportunity to ask your medical practitioner any questions as part of your consultation, but to start the ball rolling here are the answers to some that our patients most frequently asked questions.

What is dermal filler and how does it work?

Dermal filler is a gel made from hyaluronic acid – a substance that occurs naturally in the skin. To reshape the chin, it’s injected beneath the surface to plump up surrounding tissue.

When will I see the effects of my chin re-shaping procedure.

Straight away! Just allow a little time for some redness and possible bruising around the injection sites.

Do I need an initial consultation before a dermal filler treatment?

Our Clinicians will always provide a consultation before treatment, but you can usually have the treatment during the same appointment.

Does it hurt?

Our dermal fillers have an in-built anaesthetic called lidocaine which enhances comfort. We can also use anaesthetic cream to improve comfort further.

Will the dermal filler become hard or noticeable to touch?

No. The dermal fillers we use take on the characteristics of the body’s own tissue so the product itself won’t be noticeable.

How long will the dermal fillers treatment take?

The procedure can be completed in 45-60 minutes.

Are dermal fillers safe?

Yes. Only 1 in 20,000 treatments result in an allergic reaction. Although dermal fillers can be reversed using another injection, this requirement is extremely rare.

What do I need to consider after the dermal filler treatment?

You may get some redness, bruising or swelling which will go down over a series of hours or days. Try to avoid exercise, heat, and alcohol for 24 hours.

Where does the dermal filler go after the results fade?

The gel is broken down naturally and reabsorbed by the skin.

When the results fade, will my chin be worse than when I started?

No. Your appearance will simply return to how it was before you began dermal filler treatment.

Are there any side effects with dermal fillers?

Most possible side effects are related to the action of injecting the skin, not the product itself. These include: redness, minor swelling, itching, tenderness around injection site and potential lumps in the treated area. These can be reduced by massage.

Who should avoid dermal fillers?

Women who are pregnant and/or breast-feeding, people with severe allergies or a history of anaphylaxis and consumers of blood thinning medications such as Warfarin or Heparin.
