We analyze a receding chin, a short chin, and chin proportions
to plan a chin line that suits your face shape.
Why Lisoom
Chin filler is a treatment in which a cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) product with high viscoelasticity (G') is injected into the deep layer above the periosteum of the mentum (chin) to create length and a defined profile line.
A natural-looking profile takes priority over the frontal view, and we assess whether the lips sit naturally within the E-line (Ricketts), which runs from the nasal tip to the chin tip.
When a receding chin requires a very large change, implant surgery may be more suitable; because bruising, nodules, and other responses vary by individual, we start with less and build up in stages.
Chin Filler Before & After
Complications such as bleeding, infection and inflammation may occur depending on the individual, so caution is needed.
Results may vary by individual. Please confirm the method and expected results that suit you through a consultation.
No before & after photos match these criteria.
DESIGN PRINCIPLE
A highly viscoelastic product is injected into the deep layer above the periosteum of the mentum (chin) to create length. A highly cohesive volumizer-type product maintains the structure, and the surface texture is refined with a softer product. Midline alignment and left-right symmetry come first.
We assess whether the lips sit naturally within the E-line (Ricketts' esthetic line), which runs from the nasal tip through the lips to the chin tip. Norms for Asian faces differ somewhat from Ricketts' original standard, so the decision is tailored to the patient's facial structure. We review profile photographs together at the consultation.
A combination of masseter Botox to reduce width and chin filler to add length is often used. The order and interval of treatments are decided at the consultation, and a common approach is to adjust the filler amount after the effect of the Botox has settled.
When a receding chin requires a very large change, filler alone is limited in its ability to create a natural contour. In such cases, we tell you candidly at the consultation whether implant surgery would be more suitable. We explain in advance what filler can and cannot achieve.
OUR PRINCIPLE
Chin filler results are judged from the profile rather than the front. Rather than filling a lot at once, we check the profile line and refine in stages.
Profile First
How natural a chin looks is judged from the profile line rather than the front. We look for a natural position within the E-line that connects to the lips and the nasal tip. At the consultation, we plan while reviewing profile photographs together.
Supraperiosteal Depth
A highly cohesive product is injected into the deep layer above the periosteum of the chin tip to build structure. We review the distribution of the inferior labial and submental arteries, branches of the facial artery, and keep the injection at a safe depth. Using a cannula lowers the risk of vascular injury.
Honest Limitations
When a receding chin requires a large change, implant surgery may produce a more natural result than filler. At the consultation we explain candidly what filler can and cannot achieve, so that patients can decide for themselves which procedure to choose.
Chin filler works by injecting a gel made by cross-linking hyaluronic acid, a component naturally present in the skin, with BDDE or a similar agent. The cross-linked structure makes the gel more stable so that it does not break down easily, helping the chin line to be maintained for a certain period. The injected HA attracts water, adding length and volume to the chin tip. Cross-linked HA gel injected above the periosteum of the chin tip · BDDE cross-linking slows breakdown, supporting longevity · Chin line reinforced through water affinity · Partly adjustable with hyaluronidase if needed
The chin is an area that needs structure, so we use volumizer-type products with a high storage modulus (G'). The standard injection layer is the deep layer above the periosteum of the mentum (chin), and the amount and direction are set after assessing profile proportions within the E-line (Ricketts), which runs from the nasal tip to the chin tip. A combination of masseter Botox to reduce width and chin filler to add length is also often used. Volumizer-type products with a high G' · Deep-layer injection above the periosteum of the chin tip · Planning based on E-line profile proportions · Can be combined with masseter Botox

PROCEDURE FLOW
01
PHASE I
We assess the chin line and the E-line in profile, the midline and left-right symmetry, and past treatment history.
02
PHASE II
We decide the treatment area, the amount, and the supraperiosteal depth at the chin tip, and also determine whether to combine masseter Botox.
03
PHASE III
After topical or local anesthesia, we use a cannula to inject precisely into the deep layer while matching symmetry.
04
PHASE IV
We check the profile line and explain the timing of any additional treatment and the order of Botox.
