The overall impression of the face depends on the shape of the chin. That is why one of the most common services in plastic surgery clinics is plastic surgery of this area. Fortunately, modern cosmetology has dozens of methods that allow you to change and adjust the contour of the face without resorting to traumatic interventions. Among these methods is chin augmentation with fillers . This is a gentle method because it does not involve incisions - the desired result can be achieved without pain and a long recovery period.
How it works:
The term “contour plastic” refers to injections that correct the shape of the face and fill out wrinkles.
The technique is based on the use of special fillers as fillers. These fillers help fill subcutaneous cavities in areas where there is a lack of volume. This cosmetic technique is a high-quality replacement for surgical operations. In addition, it is considered completely safe for the patient’s health. Contour plastic preparations are used to solve aesthetic problems:
- correction of the shape and volume of the cheeks;
- correction of the shape and volume of the cheekbones;
- correction of the shape and volume of the chin;
- correction of lip shape and volume;
- change in facial contour;
- raising the corners of the mouth;
- to correct age-related changes, i.e. smooth out wrinkles.
Basically, in the practice of contouring, a natural component of human skin - hyaluronic acid - is widely used. It is the natural origin of the product that ensures that patients do not experience unwanted side effects such as allergies. This effect is explained by the fact that the human body perceives hyaluronic acid as a natural component.
Fillers based on hyaluronic acid restore lost density and firmness to the skin, moisturize and restore elasticity. The action of hyaluronic acid, which enters human skin, is aimed at adding volume to tissues. Due to this filling, the result is an effective smoothing of folds and wrinkles.
Based on density, all preparations for CP are divided into:
- Low-density preparations (“soft” fillers) – correction period is 4-6 months.
- medium-density preparations - from 8 to 12 months;
- high-density preparations - from 12 to 18 months.

Facial contouring
According to most aesthetic medicine specialists and patients , facial contouring occupies one of the leading positions among effective methods of rejuvenation.
Facial CP is a method of correcting wrinkles, folds and facial contours for aesthetic purposes.
The procedure is designed to compensate for age-related or congenital lack of soft tissue volume by filling them from the inside. The substance that is injected under the skin is usually called a filler (from the English “to fill” - fill), the second name for such drugs, which is used more often by clients, a little less often by doctors, is gels.
By introducing preparations based on hyaluronic acid, you can smooth out wrinkles, improve the overall condition of the skin, model and make facial features and lip shape more proportional.
The procedure helps restore tissue whose volume is lost with age, making the face look younger and more attractive. In addition, facial contouring additionally helps improve the quality of the skin by stimulating metabolic processes and the production of collagen around the injected drug.
Preparations for contouring
Based on the duration of stay in the tissues, all preparations for facial contouring can be divided into three groups:
- temporary (or absorbable) remain at the injection site for at least four months, but no more than two years;
- semi-permanent (their second name is semi-permanent) - from one and a half to two and a half years;
- permanent (or permanent) drugs remain in tissues for five to ten years.
The last two groups of drugs have synthetic components, so their longer-lasting effect, which at first glance seems like a positive thing, is often complicated by the risk of inflammatory processes, displacements, and the formation of visible seals on the skin. Therefore, it is preferable to administer temporary drugs , i.e. carry out facial contouring with hyaluronic acid , which is completely absorbed by the body's enzymatic system. Nowadays, contouring of the face, lips and body with hyaluronic acid is considered the safest and least uncomfortable.
In addition to the validity period, all drugs in this group differ in their density .
- Low density fillers (“soft”) give the shortest results - from 4 to 6 months.
- Medium density gels maintain correction for 8–12 months.
- High-density products provide an effect lasting more than a year (the maximum period for their “rejuvenation work” is 18 months).
The patient, together with the cosmetologist, determines which drug to prefer at the initial consultation. The doctor, having assessed the proportions and symmetry of the face, skin type and the area requiring correction, will determine the most suitable drug and its volume. For example, thin and delicate skin around the eyes requires injections of low-density filler. But it is no longer possible to model the cheekbones with such preparations. Here, to achieve a positive and long-lasting effect, high-density products should be introduced.
Indications for facial contouring
Indications for the procedure can be divided into several groups.
1. Elimination:
- horizontal forehead wrinkles;
- eyebrow folds;
- “crow's feet” in the eye area;
- nasolabial folds and marionette lines;
- wrinkles of the neck and décolleté;
- post-acne scars, etc.
2. Volume modeling:
- nose;
- lips;
- infraorbital areas;
- cheekbone;
- cheeks;
- chin;
- earlobes.
3. Improving the condition and appearance of the skin (vector reinforcement) of the face, back of the hands, and body areas.
Methodology for contour plastic surgery
- The filler injection area is treated with an antiseptic solution (chlorhexidine, miramistin, etc.).
- Superficial anesthesia is performed (Emla cream or others).
With superficial anesthesia, injections are easier to tolerate. With the use of preparations for CP containing a small amount of anesthetic (for example, Juvederm Ultra), the procedure becomes even more comfortable.
- The filler injection procedure is performed.
- In order to evenly distribute the drug in the facial tissues, light kneading of the injection area is performed.
- The injection area is re-treated with an antiseptic solution.
- A soothing cream is applied (usually Traumeel S ointment or others)
Immediately after the procedure, the patient may notice:
- slight redness (disappears on its own after 20–30 minutes);
- swelling at the site of gel injection (can last from several hours to a day, depending on the injection area);
- slight pain in the correction area;
- local hematoma, which regresses within 1–7 days depending on the individual characteristics of the patient’s skin.

How is the procedure performed and what will the effect be?
First, the doctor will determine the nature of the problem and discuss the desired effect with you. Chin augmentation with hyaluronic acid will help make the face more expressive and the contour clearer. The profile drawing is improved. The procedure is very popular among men - after all, it is the lower third of the face that is responsible for masculinity and brutality. After the drug is selected. The actual injection of fillers begins - they are injected into the deep layers of the skin using special ultra-thin needles.
The effect after the procedure is visible immediately. Chin augmentation can be combined with other types of cosmetic interventions: for example, if the cheek-zygomatic area or nasolabial triangle also needs correction, fillers can be injected into several parts of the face in one session.

Teosyal line products
Less radical interventions include drugs from the TEOSYAL line, developed in Sweden. The basis of these drugs, like those described above, is hyaluronic acid. This composition guarantees a fairly long period of action and ideal compatibility with the patient’s body. These drugs are divided into regular and deep.
The line of drugs from the TEOXANE company is represented by 8 products:
- TeosyalUltimate - volumizes the cheek-zygomatic area, models the chin area, restores facial contours;
- TeosyalUltraDeep - smoothes deep wrinkles, eliminates creases in the area of the nasolabial fold and nasolacrimal groove, provides lifting at the early stage of ptosis of the soft tissues of the face;
- TeosyalKiss - harmonizes the mental zone by modeling the volume and shape of the lips;
- TeosyalFirstLines - designed for the correction of wrinkles in the most delicate areas of the face: “crow’s feet”, “marionette” wrinkles, a small network of wrinkles in the corners of the lips;
- TeosyalDeepLines - fills deep wrinkles: nasolabial folds, nasolacrimal and chin grooves; eliminates skin defects in the form of recesses and sunken scars;
- TeosyalGlobalAction - aimed at correcting linear wrinkles - around the mouth, between the eyebrows;
- TeosyalMeso is a mesotherapy drug aimed at moisturizing and nourishing the skin.
It is worth noting that quite a few factors influence the final result of the procedure. This includes age, lifestyle, condition and structural composition of the skin. But a lot also depends on the technology of introducing the drug under the skin. If you use drugs that dissolve on their own, then you need to re-correct after 6-12 months.
Expression wrinkles will begin to appear somewhat earlier than the designated period. If lip volumization was performed, correction will be necessary after six months.
What fillers do we use?
The gold standard is the use of biodegradable fillers. The main substance in such preparations is highly purified hyaluronic acid. Fillers can have different viscosities - the higher this indicator, the longer the effect lasts. Hyaluronic acid is absolutely harmless, it does not cause allergies and is gradually eliminated from the body naturally (through the lymphatic system). Depending on what viscosity of the drug you choose, the effect of the procedure can last six months, a year or longer - up to two years.
HOW IS THE CHIN SHAPE CORRECTED IN GMTCLINIC?
Fillers with hyaluronic acid are used to enhance the chin. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component that is present in the human body from birth. That is why injections with such acid do not cause allergic reactions and are safe. The introduction of hyaluronic acid into the chin - dense fillers, as well as preparations based on calcium hydroxyapatite, etc. - allows you to harmonize its shape and improve the quality of the skin.
Chin contouring is a minimally invasive procedure that takes only half an hour, plus anesthesia. Sensitivity during chin augmentation with fillers is relieved with anesthetic creams. After determining the area of correction, filler is injected into the chin.
After injecting hyaluronic acid into the chin, you need to remember the following precautions: avoid overheating, baths, saunas for 2 weeks, and avoid facial massage for a couple of months.
MODERN FILLERS FOR CHIN SHAPE CORRECTION
The clinic's doctors use professional drugs and have all the necessary certificates. For correction, fillers with high-viscosity hyaluronic acid are injected into the chin area: Juvederm Voluma and Juvederm Ultra 4, Restylane Perlane, Yvoire Contour, as well as Radiesse, etc.
- Juvederm Voluma and Juvederm Ultra 4 are dense fillers with hyaluronic acid and lidocaine. They were produced for volumetric correction of the face and chin. They perfectly replenish tissue deficits and can change the contours of the lower oval of the face, disturbed due to age and weight loss. Juvederm Voluma and Juvederm Ultra 4 also moisturize the skin well and provide an effect from 10 months (Juvederm Ultra 4) to one and a half years (Juvederm Voluma).
- Restylane Perlane is a high-density hyaluronic acid filler with a long resorption period (up to 8 months). Thanks to its viscosity, it perfectly holds the shape of the lower third of the face, retains moisture, giving clarity to the oval and harmonizing facial features.
- Yvoire Contour with hyaluronic acid copes well with chin contouring and gives a good visible effect for up to a year. The secret of the popularity of Yvoire Contour among cosmetologists and patients is explained by its impeccable aesthetic results, of course, subject to proper administration.
- Radiesse, a volumizing drug for correcting the shape of the chin based on calcium hydroxyapatite, also gives excellent lasting results when it is necessary to fill tissue deficits and perform non-surgical tightening - tissue lifting. The effect of Radiesse administration lasts up to one and a half years or even more.

SHAPE CORRECTION AND CHIN CONTOURING
Correcting the shape of the chin will make the face slender, its proportions harmonious, and its features graceful.
A “heavy” lower part or an overly sharp chin gives the face an extra 10 years of age and can create a repulsive impression. Correction of the chin with hyaluronic acid in just one procedure improves its shape, adds the desired volume, eliminates folds, and harmonizes the face. Some are interested in double chin contouring, and this task can also be solved with fillers. So, chin contouring with hyaluronic acid is a 21st century procedure that does not require rehabilitation and can remove aesthetic defects in appearance in one go. You can have chin contouring done with hyaluronic acid without health complications in a clinic whose doctors have the necessary qualifications.
