How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Chin Enhancement?
There is no downtime or recovery from a dermal filler chin enhancement.
What Is a Chin Enhancement?
A dermal-filler chin enhancement is a type of cosmetic treatment that uses specialized injections to enhance the appearance of the chin. This can be done either by adding volume to the chin or by reshaping it, depending on the individual needs and goals of the patient.
Whether you are looking to subtly enhance your chin or make more dramatic changes, a dermal-filler chin enhancement could be just what you need to achieve your desired look.
Are You a Candidate for a Chin Enhancement?
Candidates for a chin enhancement typically have a chin that appears too small in proportion to the rest of the face. In some cases, a chin enhancement can also improve the appearance of mild cosmetic imperfections, such as a small dent or bumps on the chin.
Depending on your requests, we will usually recommend a series of injections spaced several weeks apart to achieve the desired results. After the initial treatment, touch-ups may be needed every few months to maintain the results.
Benefits of a Chin Enhancement
A chin enhancement is a popular cosmetic procedure that can help improve the symmetry of your face. Benefits include:
- added volume and definition
- minimize the appearance of a double chin
- more symmetrical jawline
- eliminate chin dimples
- boost confidence
- no-downtime
- no-incisions
What Are the Risks for Chin Enhancement
Although dermal fillers are generally considered safe and minimally invasive, all medical procedures carry some risk. Dr. Christopher Pavlou and his team are exceptionally trained in dermal fillers, making the risk of a significant complication extremely low. Some possible side effects include:
- Itching
- Bruising
- Swelling
- Infection
- Overfilling
How to Prepare for a Chin Enhancement
There is no preparation needed for a chin enhancement appointment. Just arrive relaxed, clean-faced and ready for your new look!
What to Expect Post Chin Enhancement
After a non-surgical chin augmentation treatment, there is no downtime, so you are free to carry on with your day as usual. It’s recommended that you avoid strenuous activity for the first 24 to 48 hours, as this will help prevent your filler from shifting out of place before it has had time to settle correctly.
Additionally, it’s important not to put pressure on your chin during this period, as it could cause damage to the results and cause the filler to slip out of position. Once the injection has had an opportunity to set and become part of your soft tissue, you won’t have to worry about any displacement or shifting of the filler.
Chin Enhancement Recovery & Timeline
You may experience initial swelling and inflammation post-injection, although this should subside within a few days. Most people also experience bruising around the injection site, usually minimal in size and colour. The area may be tender for the first twenty-four hours.
How does Dr. Christopher Pavlou perform a Chin Enhancement?
To perform the Chin Enhancement procedure, Dr. Pavlou administers local and topical anesthesia, to help with the mild discomfort.
Then he injects a dermal filler into strategic areas of the chin to create a plump and youthful appearance. The filler helps to support and lift sagging tissue while also creating symmetry between different parts of the jawline for a naturally more balanced look.
Dr. Pavlou’s patients can expect smooth, natural-looking results with minimal downtime and recovery following the procedure.
