A protruding or receding chin is often very distressing for those affected. The conspicuous chin shape is not only perceived as a cosmetic flaw, but also makes the entire face appear unbalanced. Chin correction involves gently adjusting the shape of the chin. The face is given an aesthetic, well-proportioned contour.
Chin correction with hyaluronic acid is particularly suitable for patients who want more harmonious facial proportions – for example, in the case of a receding or asymmetrical chin. Targeted injections of hyaluronic acid can gently shape, emphasise or balance the chin without the need for surgery.
What is chin correction with hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid treatment precisely shapes the chin, adds volume and corrects slight asymmetries. Unlike surgical procedures, it is minimally invasive, does not require anaesthesia and shows visible results quickly. The downtime is usually very short.
Procedure for chin correction with hyaluronic acid
For chin correction with hyaluronic acid, the chin area is first thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected. If desired, a local anaesthetic cream can be applied to ensure minimal pain during the injections. Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, the hyaluronic acid is injected precisely into the areas that need more volume and then carefully shaped into the desired contour. The treatment takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis. The patient can usually leave the practice afterwards. The results are visible immediately after the treatment. The final result is visible once the initial mild redness and swelling have completely subsided.
Frequently asked questions on chin correction
Chin correction is suitable for anyone who desires a more prominent chin or wishes to correct existing deformities or irregularities in the chin area. The injected hyaluronic acid adds volume, filling in sunken areas. With the help of a special injection technique and precise injection, the contour can also be shaped exactly and harmoniously adapted to the individual facial features. This makes it possible to visually enlarge the chin and extend it downwards in length.
Before chin correction, a comprehensive consultation takes place, during which your ideas and expectations are the main focus. Dr. Kiermeir will explain the various treatment methods and the procedure that is most suitable for you. Please inform us of any existing medical conditions and medications you are taking. Based on this information and the preliminary examination, an individual treatment plan will be drawn up for you. Additional preparation is not usually necessary.
After chin correction, it is advisable to take it easy at first and refrain from intensive physical activities such as sports for the first few days. Sauna and solarium visits as well as direct sunlight should also be avoided during the first few weeks. Temporary slight redness can be easily covered with a little make-up.
The treatment uses extremely thin needles, which do not usually leave any visible scars.
Chin correction using hyaluronic acid is a minimally invasive procedure that does not involve the risks associated with surgery or anaesthesia. As hyaluronic acid is a substance produced naturally by the body, allergic reactions are virtually impossible. However, slight swelling, redness and small bruises may occur temporarily at the injection sites. These symptoms usually disappear on their own within a short time. Of course, you will receive comprehensive information about possible risks and side effects before the treatment.
Hyaluronic acid is broken down by the body over time. As a result, the effect gradually wears off and the visible results of the treatment diminish. The exact duration of this process depends on the individual's metabolism and can therefore vary from person to person. The results usually remain visible for between 4 and 9 months, slightly less for some people and slightly longer for others. However, regular touch-ups can prolong the effect and maintain it permanently.
