What is the Cause of a Weak Chin?
- A weak chin is generally present from birth and results from the underdevelopment of the jawline in the womb.
- Aging changes also cause a receding chin profile.
- Rarer causes of a weak chin are trauma or infection in childhood which prevent jawline bone formation.
A receding chin has no functional implications; however, it impacts the aesthetic appearance, and many people choose to restore a strong jawline.
Weak Chin Treatment
Until about a decade ago, the only solution for treating a weak chin was surgical correction with a chin implant. Then, it became possible to correct the jawline and chin fillers with more structural dermal fillers. So what was once a trip into the operating theatre is now an in-clinic, lunchtime procedure. Our Doctors at Pearl perform weak chin filler treatment. (Please look at our chin filler before and after photos for some of our results).
Who is Suitable for Chin Filler?
Chin filler can be used on men or women over 18 who want to improve the appearance of a weak or receding chin without surgery. Whether your chin has recessed due to ageing, you were born with a receding chin, or you have asymmetry you would like to correct. Creating a strong jawline, chiselled appearance or restoring youthful balance is achievable with the chin fillers. There are few contraindications for this treatment, and our Doctors will go over this entirely at the initial consultation.
- Chin filler can be used for other indications such as marionette lines, chin cleft or dimples.
- Chin filler also reduces the appearance of the chin crease that commonly occurs as aging skin changes.
- In men, this is about making the chin more chiselled.
- In women, chin fillers create a balanced facial look but retain the face’s ideal oval shape.

What are the Best Chin Fillers?
Dermal filler increases the volume in the area, recreating length to a weak chin profile and width to the front on appearance. Most common choices are non-permanent, thick structural fillers. These fillers not only last longer, but they are also required to return a structured appearance to the jaw. Chin fillers can be used alone or in combination with other filler treatments.
- For glamourising, chin filler is commonly combined with lip filler and sometimes cheek filler to enhance the profile further, but this is not necessary.
- For jowl lift, chin fillers are combined with jawline enhancement.
- Combining face slimming injections with chin fillers achieves a more heart-shaped face.
- When restoring the facial profile, non-surgical rhinoplasty can also be performed.
- In addition, as an anti-aging treatment, chin filler can be combined with cheek, jawline, upper lip wrinkles, under-eye fillers and anti-wrinkle injections.
The time fillers last in the lower face varies. Factors include which therapy is chosen, movement in the area and how fast your body resorbs the product in saying that we expect 12 – 18 months for most fillers.
Chin Filler Cost
The amount and type of filler required to determine the chin filler cost. A minimum of 2ml is usually needed for receding chin replacement and sometimes more. So the first thing is to book an assessment with our Doctors; they will assess how much filler is required to return a strong jawline appearance.
Threads – An Alternative To Chin Fillers
New thread lifting is providing exciting alternatives to fillers for many areas of facial treatments. For example, a specialised thread can lift the chin crease and marionette lines without surgery. Thus, providing a non-surgical approach for face contouring across many parts of the face.
