Chin Filler – Price, Review & Benefits Guide

How long does Chin Filler Last?

Fillers are not a permanent procedure. Typically, fillers can last for 6–18 months, depending on which parts of the face.

It depends on how fast your body absorbs the hyaluronic acid and the constant movements of the facial part. Different people have different absorption rates; however, the minimum is at least 6 months.

There are two types of fillers that can be injected in the chin—semi-permanent (hyaluronic acid fillers) and semi-permanent (polycaprolactone fillers).

Hyaluronic acid fillers: 9–12 months

Polycaprolactone filler: 2 years

Do note that hyaluronic acid fillers is reversible and polycaprolactone is not reversible

What is the recommended filler?

Most aesthetic clinic Singapore, including Bio Aesthetic Laser Clinic, use hyaluronic acid fillers for chin fillers.

Hyaluronic acid fillers can last 9–12 months with an excellent safety record and provide outstanding results.

However, it is important to check with your medical doctor about the brands of fillers used. There are many brands out there with no long track record of safety.

At Bio Aesthetic Laser Clinic, we only use FDA-approved fillers for facial enhancements & contouring.

How long can Chin Filler last?

There are 3 types of fillers on the market: hyaluronic acid fillers, calcium hydroxyapatite fillers, & polycaprolactone fillers.

All 3 fillers do the same job but have differing characteristics.

How is Chin Filler performed?

Before the treatment, it is advisable to avoid alcohol, aspirin, vitamin E, and any other medications that cause skin to bruise.

Our medical director, Dr. Vijay, will first consult you on the pros and cons of chin filler and analyse the symmetry of your face.

Once consulted, topical anaesthesia numbing cream will be provided to ease any discomfort and pain. Dr. Vijay will mark out the points and inject the fillers into the chin.

After the injection, Dr. Vijay will assess the results and mould the filler to ensure it has a natural look.

Thereafter, post-treatment instructions will be explained, and antibiotic cream will be dispensed to ensure no infection.

Is Chin Filler Painful?

Chin filler feels like a slight pinch, and you may experience slight pressure or a ‘stinging’ sensation as the filler is being injected.

As different individuals have different pain tolerances, the pain is subjective. However, most patients find the pain tolerable.

A numbing cream will be provided before the treatment to minimise any discomfort. Furthermore, most brands of face fillers have an active ingredient called lidocaine (to lessen the pain). It will ease the discomfort and pain during the injection.

Most of our patients find the treatment bearable and can resume normal activities afterward.

Is Chin Filler Safe?

Chin dermal fillers are considered a very safe treatment, with a low chance of adverse conditions and side effects.

When side effects do exist, they are usually moderate and only last a few days after treatment.

Check with your medical professional about the brands of fillers used. Make sure to use only regulator-approved fillers, as many brands have questionable safety records.

Chin Filler Side Effects

You should expect some bruising, swelling, bleeding, and redness after treatment. If you use blood thinners or have a bleeding issue, you’re more likely to have these adverse effects.

Fillers under the chin can have the following adverse effects, though they are uncommon:

• Infections
• Allergic reactions to lidocaine or dermal fillers
• Nerve injury as a result of poor injection
• Incorrect filler placement can cause tissue death
• Asymmetrical regions, lumps, or bumps
