The chin anchors the whole lower face: a slightly receding or short chin can make the jawline look heavy and the profile unbalanced, even when nothing else changed. Chin filler is the quickest way to test and correct this balance without surgery. Ever Dermatology in Apgujeong explains how chin augmentation with filler is designed.
Profile design: the nose, lip and chin line
Doctors assess the chin from the side first. A classic reference is the line dropped from the nose through the lips; a harmonious chin reaches close to this line. The design decides direction as much as amount: projecting forward for a receding chin, lengthening downward for a short lower face, or narrowing the tip for a rounded chin. Small directional changes alter the whole impression.
Technique: deep placement on the bone
Chin filler typically uses a firm, high-cohesivity gel placed deep, directly on the bone, so it mimics bony projection rather than soft swelling. One or two injection points suffice, by needle or cannula. Because the mentalis muscle moves constantly, product choice and depth matter for keeping the shape stable while talking and chewing.
How long it lasts and what to expect
Firm chin fillers are among the longest-lasting facial treatments, commonly 12 to 18 months and sometimes beyond. Swelling is usually mild; slight firmness settles within weeks. The result is reversible with hyaluronidase, which makes chin filler a sensible preview for patients considering a permanent implant later.
Ever Dermatology designs chin filler around your side profile and jawline rather than a fixed template, and consults international patients in Apgujeong. If your profile photos bother you more than your front view, the chin is usually the first place to check.
