At True Blue Aesthetics in Edmonds, OK, our specialty is helping patients accentuate their natural beauty without cosmetic surgery. For patients who wish to correct a weak chin or a receding chin, we offer non-surgical chin augmentation using injectable dermal fillers.
How Does Chin Augmentation with Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers, such as Restylane® and Juvéderm®, are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in our skin. When precisely injected into the chin area, these fillers can add volume and shape as well as enhance the projection of the chin, resulting in a more enhanced and balanced facial profile. Many patients find non-surgical chin enhancement to be a more natural-looking option than plastic surgery with chin implants.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation
- A More Balanced Facial Appearance: A more pronounced and shapely chin can improve facial symmetry and accentuate other facial features.
- Facial Rejuvenation: Enhanced chin contours can create a more youthful appearance.
- Minimally Invasive: No incisions, stitches, or scars.
- Immediate Results: Visible enhancement right after the treatment.
- Short Downtime: Most clients return to their regular activities within a day.
- Customizable: Amount and placement can be adjusted for your unique desired look.
- Natural Feel and Look: Dermal fillers are soft and integrate seamlessly with your tissue, unlike chin implants.
Preparing for Chin Augmentation with Fillers
You won’t need to do much to prepare for your non-surgical chin augmentation. Before your treatment, you will meet with Nurse Brooke Baima, our certified injector. Brooke will ask you about your goals and answer any questions you have about Restylane and Juvéderm hyaluronic acid fillers and the chin augmentation procedure.
Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation Procedure
Prior to your dermal filler chin augmentation, your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream will be applied to enhance your comfort. Brooke will precisely administer the dermal filler injections, sculpting the hyaluronic acid gel until your desired look is achieved.
What to Expect After Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation
You won’t need any downtime after your chin augmentation with injectable fillers, though you can expect to experience some tenderness, mild swelling, and/or bruising. This will naturally resolve within a few days.
One of the most pronounced benefits of non-surgical chin augmentation is the immediate results. You will notice your improved chin contours right away!

bruising.
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising. Rare side effects will be discussed during the consultation.
Can I combine this with other treatments?
Absolutely! Many patients opt for additional dermal filler facial treatments to enhance their overall facial harmony. Popular options include dermal fillers for the lips, jawline, and cheeks. We also offer liquid facelift, which involves the use of BOTOX® and dermal fillers to bring about more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
How long does chin augmentation with dermal fillers last?
Non-surgical chin augmentation results are considered to be long-lasting, but the body does naturally metabolize the hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers over time. Most of our patients choose to come in for a touch-up treatment every 9-12 months.
