Overview

What is chin enhancement?

Chin enhancement, or non-surgical chin augmentation, uses injectable filler to add forward projection, length or symmetry to the chin. A short or receding chin makes the lower face look small, pushes the lips forward in profile and can make a double chin more prominent. Adding a few millimetres of projection often has a larger effect on facial balance than patients expect, which is why it is one of the most satisfying filler treatments in the lower face.

At Oaro Dermatology Clinic in Apgujeong, Seoul, the chin is treated as part of the profile line that runs from the nose through the lips to the chin, rather than in isolation. Patients considering non-surgical rhinoplasty are frequently advised to look at the chin at the same time.

How chin enhancement works at Oaro

Dr. Chang-hyun Kim, a board-certified dermatologist and Korean Filler Society member, assesses the chin from the front and side, checks the relationship to the lips and jaw and discusses how much projection suits you. A firm hyaluronic acid filler or Radiesse is placed deep against the bone in small boluses, then moulded. One to two millilitres is typical. The product is chosen for lift and longevity, and because hyaluronic acid can be dissolved, the result is adjustable. For patients whose chin is adequate but whose neck is heavy, the dermatologist may recommend double chin treatment first, or a combination with jawline slimming to taper the lower face. Each plan is photographed and recorded in your care notebook.

Bringing the chin forward so the nose and lips sit in proportion from the side.

A longer, slimmer lower face

Your visit

What to expect

1. Consultation & diagnosis

The dermatologist measures chin projection and length against your profile, photographs the face from several angles and recommends a product and volume. Dental or surgical history is reviewed.

2. Injection

Numbing cream is applied for 15 minutes. Filler is placed with a cannula or needle deep on the bone through one or two entry points and shaped by hand. Expect pressure rather than pain; the visit takes about 20 minutes.

3. Aftercare & follow-up

Written aftercare covers swelling and what to avoid. A review at 2–4 weeks checks symmetry and allows a small top-up if needed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will chin filler look obvious?

Not when placed on the bone in modest amounts; the change reads as better proportion rather than a visible implant.

How long does chin enhancement last?

Typically 12–18 months, as the chin is a low-movement area.

Is chin filler a good alternative to a chin implant?

For small to moderate corrections, yes. Large deficits may still be better served by surgery.

Can it help a double chin?

It can improve the angle between chin and neck, but excess fat is better treated with fat-dissolving injections or Agnes RF.

Does it hurt?

Most patients feel pressure and brief stinging only; numbing cream and lidocaine in the filler keep it comfortable.
