About the treatment
What is chin filler?
The chin plays a big part in facial balance and profile. Chin filler uses a firm hyaluronic acid gel to add projection, lengthen a short chin or refine its shape, which can bring the nose, lips and jawline into better proportion.
It is a non-surgical option, planned around your profile as well as your front view, after a GP-led consultation.
When it may not be suitable
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active infection or inflammation of the skin in the area
- A previous reaction to hyaluronic acid filler or local anaesthetic
- Wanting a change that only surgery can achieve, which will be discussed honestly
Your full medical history is reviewed at consultation, so this list is a guide only.
Step by step
What to expect
- Consultation: your goals, medical history and profile are assessed, and risks and alternatives are explained.
- Planning: you agree the change you want and how much product to use, and give written consent.
- Treatment: filler is placed with a fine needle or cannula. Most products contain a local anaesthetic for comfort.
- Aftercare: you leave with aftercare advice and know how to contact the clinic if you have any concerns.
Downtime and recovery
Mild swelling, tenderness and bruising are common for a few days. The chin can feel firm for a week or two while the product settles.
How long results last
Chin filler often lasts around 12 to 18 months. How long it lasts depends on the product, the amount used and your own metabolism.
Aftercare
- Keep the area clean and avoid touching, pressing or massaging it unless you have been advised to
- Avoid make-up on the treated area for 24 hours
- Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 to 48 hours
- Avoid saunas, steam rooms, sunbeds and other facial treatments for around two weeks
- Sleep on your back with your head slightly raised for the first night or two, if you can
- Contact the clinic promptly if you notice increasing pain, a change in skin colour, or anything that worries you
If your vision changes after a facial injectable treatment, call 999 or go to A&E straight away and tell them what treatment you have recently had. Do not wait for a reply from the clinic. If you have severe or increasing pain, or the skin turns pale, dusky or blotchy, contact the clinic immediately, or get urgent medical help if you cannot reach us.

Chin Filler FAQs
Questions before you book
Is chin filler a replacement for surgery?
No. Chin filler can make a meaningful difference to projection and shape, but it cannot match the change possible with surgery. You will get an honest view of what filler can and cannot achieve.
Can chin filler help a double chin?
Filler does not remove fat. In some people, improving chin projection makes the area under the chin look more defined, but this is assessed individually.
How much filler is usually needed?
It depends on the change you want. Some people need 1ml, others 2ml. An amount will be recommended at consultation.
Does chin filler hurt?
Most people find it very manageable. Most products contain a local anaesthetic, and the area can feel tender for a few days afterwards.
What are the risks?
Swelling, bruising and tenderness are common. Other possible complications include infection, lumps that persist, asymmetry and delayed inflammation. Rarely, filler can block a blood vessel and damage the skin or other tissue, and very rarely this can cause permanent loss of vision. Careful technique lowers these risks but cannot remove them. Your practitioner will explain the risks that apply to your treatment.
