NATURAL. SUBTLE. YOU.
We refine your chin contour with a subtle approach, tailoring it to your facial profile.
The chin influences how the nose, lips and lower jaw relate to one another in profile. If it lacks definition or is slightly recessed, carefully placed hyaluronic acid can create more balanced proportions. We also consider the front view, chin width and the transition into the jawline. The planned shape is tailored to your face and your personal goals.
For chin enhancement, we place a suitable hyaluronic acid gel in selected areas. This can change the visible projection of the chin, add definition or soften small differences in shape.
What matters is the specific change that is actually needed. Creating a little more chin projection requires a different plan from smoothing an uneven contour. We also consider the crease between the lower lip and chin and the movement of the mouth area.
We plan the amount conservatively. A chin that becomes too long, too wide or too prominent can alter the overall proportions of the face. We therefore reassess the whole face throughout treatment and, when appropriate, work in stages.
Chin enhancement may be suitable if your chin is slightly recessed, lacks definition or has small asymmetries. In suitable cases, we can also improve the transition between the chin and lower jaw.
Hyaluronic acid changes the external contour of the chin. If there are concerns about jaw position or your bite, dental or orthodontic assessment may also be useful. If a double chin is present, chin enhancement can sometimes be combined with other treatments to improve the contour beneath the chin. We will discuss which options are appropriate for you during a personal consultation.
Serious complications are rare. If filler affects blood flow, however, tissue damage can occur; permanent vision damage is also possible with facial filler treatments. Careful planning and injection technique reduce these risks but cannot eliminate them completely.
Unusual or increasing pain, concerning skin colour changes or sudden visual symptoms require immediate medical assessment. Do not wait for a follow-up appointment or a reply to a message.
If anything unexpected occurs, we will assess the area, take the necessary steps and support you through any further care.
We assess the shape of the chin in relation to your profile, jawline and how the lips and surrounding muscles function.
We discuss your goals and examine the projection, width and symmetry of the chin. We assess your face from the front and side, as well as while you speak and close your lips. Previous fillers, implants, surgery and any dental or jaw concerns are taken into account. We then explain what can realistically and appropriately be achieved with hyaluronic acid.
We document the area before treatment and identify the areas to be treated. After cleansing and disinfecting the skin, local anaesthetic can be used if needed.
The hyaluronic acid gel is injected gradually with a suitable needle or cannula. Placement depends on whether the aim is greater projection, a clearer contour or better balance from side to side. During treatment, we monitor the tissue response, blood flow and proportions as they change.
After treatment, we assess the chin contour and its transition to the mouth area. We explain how early swelling may temporarily affect the shape and provide specific aftercare instructions. Follow-up is planned according to your recovery, often after around two weeks. Only then do we decide whether any additional treatment is needed.
Tell us about medical conditions, allergies, medications and any previous procedures involving the chin or jaw. This includes existing filler, chin implants and jaw surgery. Please also mention any current dental problems and recent or planned dental treatment. If the skin is inflamed or there is an acute infection in the treatment area, we will postpone your appointment. Do not stop prescribed medication without medical advice.
Initially, avoid putting firm pressure on the chin by resting it frequently on your hand, wearing tight equipment or massaging the area vigorously. Do not press or massage the treated areas unless we specifically advise you to do so. We will give you advice on exercise, sauna use, excessive heat and alcohol based on the extent of your treatment. Mild tenderness and a temporary feeling of tightness can occur. If symptoms become worse or the skin develops unusual colour changes, seek prompt medical assessment.
The change in chin contour is visible immediately. Early swelling may make the chin appear more prominent or slightly uneven at first. Once swelling has settled, often after around two weeks, the result can be assessed more reliably. How long the correction remains visible varies from person to person. Your body breaks down hyaluronic acid at its own rate. Tissue condition, weight changes and skin quality can also affect the appearance. Lifestyle may play a role, as can the product, amount and placement. For this reason, a specific duration cannot be guaranteed. We recommend a top-up only after reassessment. If the contour remains adequately supported, additional volume is not automatically beneficial.

Before treatment, we discuss the most suitable product, the planned extent of treatment and the associated cost.
Costs may vary depending on the product, amount required and agreed treatment combination. We confirm the total price with you before treatment.
Answers to common questions about chin shape, profile and aftercare.
We add volume in selected areas to change the external contour of the chin. This can make a slightly recessed chin appear more prominent or create a more balanced shape where the contour is uneven. The treatment does not change the underlying bone position or your bite.
The appointment takes around 30–60 minutes. You will see a change immediately, although some early swelling may also be present. We often reassess the result after around two weeks. Further treatment is considered only once the true contour can be seen clearly.
You may feel pressure or brief discomfort during treatment. Local anaesthetic can be used if needed. Afterwards, the chin may temporarily feel tender or look swollen. Recovery depends on the extent of treatment and your individual response.
Treatment may be suitable if you want a moderate increase in chin projection, a clearer contour or improvement of small differences in shape. Significant jaw-position problems or functional symptoms require separate assessment first.
After treatment, avoid strong pressure on the chin and follow our aftercare advice. We remain available if you have questions. Unusual pain, concerning skin colour changes or visual symptoms require immediate medical assessment.
During the first few days, the chin may be swollen, tender or feel slightly firmer. Bruising is also possible and may remain visible for longer. Recovery varies from person to person, so allow enough time before important events.
Mild redness, swelling and tenderness usually settle on their own. Less commonly, persistent unevenness, nodules, infection or delayed inflammatory reactions can occur. Excessive projection or a contour that does not suit the face may also require reassessment. If symptoms persist or you notice new changes in sensation around the chin or lower lip, please contact us promptly.
If the transition from the chin to the side of the jawline lacks definition, additional jawline contouring may be useful. We plan the lower face as a whole and assess whether extra volume is genuinely needed. If strong chin-muscle activity creates a dimpled or 'pebbled' skin texture, sometimes called an orange-peel chin, botulinum toxin may be considered alongside filler. Filler changes the contour, while botulinum toxin reduces muscle activity. Before combining treatments, we assess lip closure and lower-lip function carefully because weakening the muscle can temporarily affect them. Treatments to improve skin quality are considered only when there is an additional skin concern. They do not replace targeted volume enhancement or appropriate assessment of a jaw-position problem.
Chin correction can change the appearance of the entire profile. We therefore consider not only how far the chin projects, but also its width, length and connection to the jawline. How the mouth area moves is equally important.
Would you like to balance a slightly recessed chin or add more definition to the lower face? We assess your chin and discuss which change best suits your profile. You will receive a realistic explanation of what hyaluronic acid can and cannot achieve.
