Chin Augmentation without Surgery
The chin is the lowermost part of the face and plays an important role in how well your selfies look. It is a primary component of the facial shape. If the chin is too recessed or too projected it can throw the entire face off balance. The weak chin is either caused because the lower jaw bone is less developed and it appears as if the chin is protected towards the neck or when the position of the lower jaw is back compared to the upper jaw and it looks like the chin is inclined toward the body.
Even when you are taking a selfie or being clicked the chin does the important job of helping the light reflect at right angles to make your jaw look contoured and neck elongated. Also, a weak chin draws attention to the nose and a protruding chin makes the face look annoyed. Every facial structure is unique and weak chin or retrogenia is quite common.
Ageing can also cause a weak chin and it becomes more noticeable with age. This happens because as we grow older bone resorption decreases the jaw height and reduces chin projection. This is why as we age the balance between the lower third and upper two-thirds of the face shifts. On top of it the tissues start to become lax and gravity starts to show its effect leading to double chins. A weak chin does not cause problems in eating or talking but it is a big cosmetic concern for men and women.
What is non-surgical chin augmentation?
Chin augmentation without surgery is done with the use of dermal lip fillers. It is a simple and time-saving way to get your chin in a proper shape. Chin augmentation helps improve your entire appearance as it gives a defined share to the lower thirds of the face. Chin fillers are generally combined with jaw and lip fillers for good results. Non-surgical chin augmentation in India will give you a stronger-looking chin, reduce the chin cleft and restore volume to smooth the chin.

All you need to be is healthy and in sound mind to be suitable for chin fillers.

How is chin filler treatment done?
The treatment procedure is very two-step procedure.
The first step is you visit our top cosmetic surgeons at The Esthetic Clinics and discuss your concerns with them. The surgeon will explain the changes chin fillers can bring out in your profile. They will also give you instructions on things to take care of before the treatment. The doctor will also ask about your medical history and if you have any medications such as aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. If yes then you might have to stop taking for a few days before the treatment.
If you have any appointments set for peels, dermabrasion, etc. then you need to postpone it till after the treatment is over. Avoid smoking and drinking about 48 hours before the procedure.
The procedure
On the day of the treatment, the surgeon will go over the end goals, especially in the jaw, cheek, and chin areas. Then the clinic staff will seat you comfortably and cleanse the area of any makeup, cream, dust, etc, and disinfect it.
Then the practitioner will use a numbing cream on the area and then inject the dermal fillers to augment the chin. You will need to sit still during the entire procedure. You can go home a few minutes after the treatment.
How long does a non-surgical chin augmentation last?
The most commonly used fillers are Hyaluronic acid-based gel fillers which are latest generation HA fillers. They last for about two years are if you don’t like the results they can be completely reversed. There are no side effects of using chin fillers.
