Chin Filler London Treatments
Chin filler injections can greatly enhance your facial profile by balancing facial proportions, tightening the chin area, and defining the jawline. Our chin filler treatments in London can also help reduce the appearance of jowls, double chins, and weak chins.
The key to achieving the best results lies in careful evaluation of facial proportions and individual features, alongside precise application of high quality dermal fillers. We use high quality dermal fillers, which contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally hydrating substance found in the body. This helps to restore lost volume and create structure in targeted areas. At our London clinic, we ensure that fillers are administered only by highly skilled doctors and nurses. Experience the best chin filler in London with our professional and meticulous approach.
What is Chin Filler?
Chin filler is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the shape, size, and projection of the chin. This procedure is extremely popular in our London clinic and involves the injection of hyaluronic based gel into the chin area. It is ideal for individuals seeking to achieve a more balanced facial profile, improve chin definition, or address chin asymmetry.
How Does Chin Filler Work?
Chin fillers work by adding volume and structure to the chin. Hyaluronic acid fillers are used to create precise contouring and enhancement of the chin, resulting in a more harmonious facial appearance. Our clinic ensures safe and effective treatments tailored to your needs.
Chin Filler Treatment Protocol?
The chin filler treatment protocol at our London clinic typically starts with an initial consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate your suitability for the procedure. On the day of the treatment, a thorough assessment of the area is performed. The filler is then injected using a fine needle or cannula. The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes, with immediate visible results. Post-treatment care involves avoiding applying excessive pressure to the treated area for at least 24 hours.
Types of Chin Filler?
Several types of fillers can be used for chin augmentation, each with unique characteristics and benefits.
- Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: The most commonly used fillers, known for their natural-looking results and reversibility. Popular brands include Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers: Such as Radiesse, which provide a longer-lasting, firmer result.
Benefits of Chin Filler?
- Enhanced Chin Projection: Adds volume to a recessed chin.
- Improved Facial Harmony: Balances the facial profile, creating a more symmetrical look.
- Youthful Appearance: Restores lost volume and firmness, reducing signs of aging.
- Customisable Results: Tailored to individual facial features and aesthetic goals.

Risks of Chin Filler?
While chin filler treatments are generally safe, they do carry potential risks, including;
Swelling and Bruising: Common but typically resolves within a few days.
Infection: Rare, but generally occurs if post-treatment care instructions are not followed.
Lumps and Bumps: Can occur but are often temporary and can be massaged out or dissolved if persistent.
Asymmetry: Rare but possible, and usually correctable with additional filler.
How Long Does Chin Filler Last?
The longevity of chin filler results varies depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolic factors. On average, hyaluronic acid fillers last between 12 to 24 months. Factors such as the amount and type of filler injected, the area treated, and the individual’s lifestyle can influence the duration of the results. Our London-based experts will guide you on how to maintain your results.

Various techniques using both cannula and needle can be employed to achieve different chin enhancements. Each technique is chosen based on the patient’s unique chin anatomy and desired outcome, ensuring a customized and aesthetically pleasing result.

Chin Filler Aftercare: Essential Tips for the Best Results
At Dr. Paul Elgey Aesthetic Clinic, we focus not only on enhancing your chin’s appearance but also on ensuring its long-term health and aesthetic balance. Proper aftercare is essential to achieving optimal results and promoting a smooth recovery process. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about caring for your chin post-treatment.
"Avoid Touching or Applying Pressure"
After receiving chin filler, it’s important to avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated area for at least 24 hours. Pressure can cause the filler to shift before it has properly settled, leading to uneven results. Additionally, refrain from sleeping on your face or applying any force to the area.
“I always tell my patients to avoid sleeping on their face for the first night after chin filler. The filler needs time to integrate, so keeping the area free from pressure ensures optimal results.”
"Gentle Cleansing"
After your procedure, use a mild cleanser to gently clean the treated area. Avoid abrasive scrubbing or harsh skincare products that may irritate the skin or cause unwanted reactions around the injection sites.
“Be gentle with your skin post-treatment for the first 48 hours. I suggest using a soft cleanser and patting the area dry rather than rubbing. This helps maintain skin integrity and avoids disturbing the filler.”
"Minimise Swelling with Cool Packs"
Swelling and redness are common post-filler effects. To reduce this, apply cold compresses to the chin for 10-15 minutes at a time during the first 48 hours. This will help reduce any discomfort or swelling.
“Using an ice pack is a great way to manage swelling after chin filler. Just remember to wrap it in a cloth to avoid direct skin contact and apply it intermittently to reduce inflammation.”
"Avoid Strenuous Activity and Alcohol"
For at least 24 hours after your treatment, avoid strenuous physical activity and alcohol. Both can increase blood flow, leading to more swelling and bruising in the treated area. Additionally, alcohol may interfere with the healing process.
“I recommend skipping the gym and steering clear of alcohol for at least a day after your filler treatment. These steps will help minimise bruising and allow the filler to settle properly.”
