Chin filler treatment at Core Aesthetics uses prescription dermal filler to improve chin projection, refine shape and improve lower face proportion. Treatment is individually assessed and planned in the context of the full lower face, as chin projection significantly influences how the nose, lips and profile are perceived.
The chin is the visual anchor of the lower face. In profile, it determines how the face terminates and how balanced the relationship between the nose, lips and lower face appears. When chin projection is insufficient, the effect on overall facial proportion can be significant, the nose can appear larger, the lips can appear more prominent than intended and the lower face can appear to recede. For some clients, improving chin projection has a more meaningful effect on overall facial balance than treating any other single feature.
At Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh, chin filler treatment is assessed by Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse (NMW0001047575), as part of a lower face consultation that considers the chin in the context of the full facial picture. Chin treatment is almost always considered alongside the jaw as part of a coordinated lower face approach.
What Chin Filler Addresses
Chin filler using prescription hyaluronic acid based dermal filler can address several different chin-related concerns. Insufficient forward projection, where the chin recedes relative to the mid face and lips when viewed in profile, is the most common reason clients consider chin treatment. Shape concerns, including a blunt or broad chin tip, asymmetry, or a chin that lacks vertical height, can also be addressed with carefully placed filler. Age-related changes to the chin area, including the development of a chin crease or loss of structural support that makes the chin appear more recessed over time, are also relevant considerations.
Why Chin Treatment Affects the Whole Lower Face
Improving chin projection is one of the more satisfying treatments in facial aesthetics because its effects extend beyond the chin itself. In profile, a more forward-projecting chin creates a better-balanced relationship between the forehead, nose, lips and lower face. It makes the neck-to-chin transition cleaner. It can make the lips appear more proportionate without any lip treatment. And combined with jawline treatment, it contributes to a more structured and defined lower face overall.
At Core Aesthetics, chin treatment is typically assessed alongside the jaw and, where relevant, the mid face. You can read our full overview of how we approach lower face filler on our jawline and chin filler page.
