Chin Filler Treatment in Tarzana, CA

What Is a Dermal Filler?

Dermal fillers are substances used to increase volume in your facial tissue. Your clinician will inject the dermal filler into the soft tissue under the skin. They will strategically place the injections to mold your jaw line into the sculpted profile you want.

There are many types of dermal fillers, including:

• Hyaluronic acid
• Calcium hydroxylapatite
• Polyalkylimide
• Polylactic acid

Hyaluronic acid is the only option that’s naturally produced in the human body and easily reversible. For this reason, it’s considered the safest choice for most patients.

Here, we’ll focus primarily on hyaluronic acid chin fillers like those made by Juvéderm and Restylane.

How Do Chin Filler Treatments Work?

Chin fillers work by adding volume where it’s lacking. After injecting the fillers, your clinician will mold your chin into the shape you desire.

With chin fillers, you can:

• Contour your profile
• Make your chin protrude farther out
• Correct asymmetry issues with your face
• Fill in a cleft
• Redefine your jawline

Why Should You Get a Chin Filler?

The standards of beauty differ among the world’s cultures. These standards have changed at different times over human history. But three features have endured as criteria for attractiveness across history and cultures. These are facial symmetry, height, and for women, their waste-to-hip ratio. Before such research, we didn’t know why we found some people more attractive than others. Our best definition of facial beauty had been that we know it when we see it.

Chin fillers are a way to improve facial symmetry. That means it’s one of the most important ways to increase your attractiveness to others.

For men, a strong chin projects power. As mentioned above, over 90% of Fortune 500 CEOs have what we perceive as strong chins. So, enhancing your chin with dermal fillers improves your career opportunities.

So, if you need a strong chin, why not get implants, chin reduction surgery, use a fat transfer as a filler? While these methods have some advantages, they also have much more risk than chin fillers.

For example, unlike most fillers, you don’t need maintenance treatments with surgery. But the risk of complications like the need for revisional surgery is absent from most fillers.

With hyaluronic acid chin fillers, if you don’t like the results, your healthcare provider can quickly reverse the procedure. Injections of the hyaluronidase enzyme will dissolve the hyaluronic acid. Almost instantly, your chin turns back to the way it was before you received the dermal filler injections.

How Is a Chin Filler Injected?

When you arrive for the procedure, your clinician cleans your skin and applies a numbing cream. After the numbing agent takes effect, you’ll receive strategically placed injections of the filler. Your expert provider will know where to place the tiny needle to achieve the desired results.

After the injections, your healthcare professional will massage the chin area to mold the filler. Soon, the filler sets and you have the chin you always wanted. The entire process takes less than an hour. The injections usually require only a few minutes. You’ll notice immediate results.

The amount of filler needed depends on the size of your chin and your goals. You’re charged based on the amount of filler used. Across the nation, the average cost of each syringe of hyaluronic acid filler is about $684 per syringe. That’s the lease expensive filler on a per treatment basis.

How Long Does It Take To Heal After Getting a Chin Filler?

Most patients have no downtime with hyaluronic acid fillers. They often return to work immediately after the injections. Some patients may require a couple of days of rest. So, it’s a good idea to take the day off on the day of the treatment as a precaution. All patients should avoid strenuous activities such as weightlifting for a couple of days after the treatments. In rare cases, it can take up to a week to recover.

You can expect some swelling, bruising, and itching at the injection sites for 24 to 48 hours after treatments. Over-the-counter medications are the best choice to relieve any discomfort.

There is a slight risk of more severe side effects, such as abscesses, scarring, and filler migration. Filler migration can lead to severe complications if the filler gets into the wrong area. These extremely rare complications include tissue damage, blindness, and strokes.

What Results Can You Expect?

You’ll see results immediately. But it takes up to two weeks to see the full effect of the fillers. If you like the results, you can keep it. If not, the filler is easily reversed with hyaluronidase enzyme injections.

Juvéderm and Restylane fillers do not last forever. The life of these fillers is based on your metabolism. Some people need to have the procedure performed once a year, while others may need injections as often as every six months.
