Chin sculpting, using dermal filler, is a procedure that has grown increasingly popular in recent years.
It can be used in conjunction with other treatments to sculpt the jawline and contour the side profile. An elongated chin can be used in profile balancing to rectify a retracted chin by balancing out the profile with the nose. A more elongated chin can also aid in creating a slimmer and modelesque V-shaped face shape.
Upon consultation we will carefully discuss with you what result you are looking to achieve, whether that be a change in face shape or profile, or to sculpt your chin in isolation. We will then use dermal filler to help you achieve your desired results
Treatment FAQs
Q. Can chin filler be just as good of an option as a chin implant?
The great thing about chin filler is that, while it does last up to twenty-two months, the procedure is easily reversible and can be tailored to your desired look during the treatment. At Trikwan we will fill the chin area to create a natural, subtle look and show you the immediate results. If more filler is required by the patient, we will continue to inject filler in subtle quantities until the desired effect is achieved. With chin implants, you are unable to tweak the look of the implant mid or post procedure, meaning that the result you get is permanent.
Q. What are the aftercare procedures?
For treatment options involving filler:
- Avoid touching or rubbing the treatment area 4 hours after the treatment.
- No makeup should be applied to the treatment area 4 hours after the treatment. (Ensure your makeup application is thoroughly clean before applying)
- Avoid excessive drinking of alcohol for 24 hours
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Avoid exposing the treated area to intense heat (e.g. Sauna, steam room, hot bath, hot compress, hot teas/coffees) for the first 72 hours.
- Swelling does not always occur but may last up to 2 weeks in some patients, depending on procedure.
Q. Are there any side effects?
Immediately after treatment, there may be slight redness, tenderness and an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injection. The inconvenience is temporary and generally disappears in a few hours. If it continues or if other reactions occur, please call us.
Q. Treatment, Travelling and Big Events?
Travelling:
Flying can increase the chances of swelling after your treatment, this isn’t a problem and it is still possible to travel around your appointment, but we would recommend using ice to combat any swelling that you experience.
Big Events:
We advise booking far in advance of any big events you have coming up, to allow any swelling to subside and allow us to address any issues or top ups that my need performing to maximise your results. We ask all of our patients who have big events coming up, to get in contact with us before booking so we can best arrange your treatment to happen at the recommended number of weeks before your event.
Q. When will I see results?
For filler treatment, the results will be seen immediately after treatment, and fully realised once any redness and swelling has subsided.
