Chin Augmentation With Fillers

Chin filler is a non-surgical option designed to address changes in the chin area that can occur naturally over time. This treatment can provide support, and address dimpling caused by muscle activity.

Procedure Overview

An ice pack or topical anaesthetic is applied to the treatment area, followed by injections of filler into the chin. This procedure typically involves little discomfort and does not require local anaesthesia.

Recovery timeline

• Swelling may occur and generally resolves within 2–3 days.
• Bruising is uncommon but possible.

Costs

Costs vary depending on individual needs but typically start from $600.

Potential Risks & Complications

While chin filler treatments are generally safe, they do carry some potential risks and side effects, which will be discussed with you during your consultation. These may include:

• Swelling: Temporary swelling at the injection site, usually resolving within 2–3 days.
• Bruising: Rare but possible; typically fades within a week.
• Tenderness: Some mild discomfort or sensitivity in the treated area.
• Asymmetry: Slight unevenness in the filler placement, which can often be corrected with a follow-up adjustment.
• Infection: Although rare, there is a small risk of infection at the injection site.
• Lumps or Nodules: Small bumps under the skin, which can often be massaged out or resolved with further treatment.
• Vascular Complications: In very rare cases, filler may accidentally enter a blood vessel, leading to more serious complications.

Your practitioner will thoroughly explain these risks during your consultation and take every precaution to minimise them.
