How is non-surgical chin augmentation performed?
At Contour Clinics, our qualified cosmetic doctors provide personalised consultations and cosmetic treatments designed to subtly enhance chin contours and facial balance.
Non-surgical chin enhancement treatments typically involve gently addressing the shape, projection, or appearance of the chin by carefully introducing supportive cosmetic materials beneath the skin’s surface. These materials are specifically chosen to integrate naturally with your skin and underlying facial tissues, aiming to provide subtle volume and structural support.
The placement technique is carefully tailored to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, and your clinician will fully explain each step of the process during your consultation. Before commencing treatment, measures such as topical numbing cream or ice may be applied to improve your comfort.
Following treatment, the introduced materials subtly interact with your skin and facial structures to gently enhance chin appearance and support facial harmony. The cosmetic effects are temporary, with results varying widely between individuals based on factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and individual anatomy.
Your clinician will provide comprehensive information about potential outcomes, benefits, risks, expected duration, and aftercare during your personalised consultation.

How do I prepare for my non-surgical chin augmentation appointment?
At Contour Clinics, qualified medical professionals prioritise your comfort and safety. To prepare effectively for your cosmetic chin treatment consultation, consider the following general guidelines:
-
Attend your appointment with clean skin, free from makeup, sunscreen, or skincare products.
-
Refrain from consuming alcohol 24 hours prior to your appointment, as it may influence your comfort and recovery.
-
If you’re currently taking any supplements or medications—including those prescribed by your doctor—please discuss these with your GP before altering your routine.
-
You may choose to arrive approximately 10 minutes early to allow time for preliminary preparations such as 3D imaging or topical numbing cream application.
During your personalised consultation, our experienced clinicians will discuss your aesthetic goals thoroughly, including any visual references you wish to share, to understand your individual concerns and objectives.
Your clinician will clearly explain potential outcomes, benefits, risks, and realistic expectations associated with the procedure.
Does my chin feel different after non-surgical chin augmentation?
Following cosmetic chin enhancement treatments, some individuals report mild sensations such as temporary firmness, subtle fullness, or minor tenderness in the treated area. These sensations usually diminish naturally over the days or weeks following your procedure, but individual experiences can vary significantly.
What can I do if I don't like the results of my non-surgical chin treatment?
Many people new to non-surgical facial volumisation worry about ending up with an unnatural or exaggerated appearance. Swelling is common right after the procedure, which can make the area look fuller temporarily. If you’re not familiar with this normal response, it might feel overwhelming at first. Asymmetry can also occur due to uneven swelling, but in most cases, these effects settle within two weeks as the tissues adjust.
If you’re not satisfied with the outcome after the initial settling period, we can explore adjustment options during a follow-up review at no extra cost. This might involve using an enzyme to dissolve the material if appropriate, though reversal is rarely needed and carries its own risks, such as allergic reactions or skin changes. A consultation at Contour Clinics helps manage expectations, as results vary by individual factors like skin type and healing, and all treatments involve potential side effects like bruising or prolonged swelling.
Can non-surgical chin augmentation treatments migrate or move?
Cosmetic treatments performed in the chin area typically aim for subtle, localised enhancement, and in most cases, the materials introduced remain stable in their intended position. However, each individual’s facial anatomy, skin characteristics, and other factors can influence how the treated area settles over time.
While movement or displacement of cosmetic materials is uncommon, it is important to recognise that each person’s response can differ. Factors including facial movements, treatment technique, and individual healing responses may play a role.
Can chin volume help to smooth a chin cleft or chin dimples?
Cosmetic treatments for the chin area can be specifically tailored to subtly address concerns about chin clefts, dimples, or uneven contours. Depending on your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, these treatments may help reduce the visibility of such features by gently supporting or enhancing the skin and underlying tissues.
Can chin augmentation be used to elongate the face?
Cosmetic chin treatments offered at Contour Clinics can be individually tailored to subtly enhance facial proportions and create the impression of a more balanced or elongated lower face. By gently addressing specific aspects of chin shape and structure, these treatments may help improve overall facial harmony according to your aesthetic goals.
In some cases, the appearance of facial proportions, including the chin area, can be influenced by normal facial muscle activity. Qualified medical professionals at Contour Clinics carefully evaluate these factors during your consultation to determine suitable treatment options designed specifically for your individual facial anatomy and aesthetic concerns.
Can chin augmentation be used to balance the face?
Cosmetic treatments at Contour Clinics can be individually tailored to subtly enhance facial balance and overall harmony from a side-profile perspective. By gently addressing specific chin concerns, these treatments aim to provide a more balanced appearance between the chin, nose, and other facial features, potentially improving the perception of facial proportion.
A well-balanced chin can positively influence how other facial features, such as the nose, are perceived, often creating the impression of improved overall facial harmony. During your personalised consultation, qualified medical professionals at Contour Clinics will carefully assess your facial anatomy and proportions, clearly discussing suitable treatment options designed specifically for your aesthetic goals.
Can non-surgical chin treatments be used for a square face?
Non-surgical cosmetic treatments for the chin area can be individually tailored according to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. For those concerned about the appearance of a square or broader lower face, personalised cosmetic approaches including non-surgical chin treatments may help achieve subtle changes in facial balance and contour.
Can chin filler be used to treat a round face?
Cosmetic chin treatments can be individually tailored to subtly enhance chin definition and improve overall facial balance, which may help reduce the appearance of facial roundness. By addressing chin shape and proportion, particularly aiming for more of a “V-shape” these treatments may create the impression of a more defined and balanced facial structure.
What are the advantages of non-surgical chin treatments over a chin implant?
Non-surgical chin treatments offer certain potential advantages when compared to surgical chin implants. Common reasons individuals consider non-surgical chin enhancements include:
-
Less invasive: Typically involve minimal downtime and lower risks compared to surgical options.
-
Personalised results: Subtle adjustments can be tailored individually during treatment.
-
Temporary outcomes: Non-surgical treatments gradually fade naturally, allowing adjustments over time as aesthetic preferences or facial structures change.
However, suitability and outcomes depend on your specific anatomy and goals. At Contour Clinics, qualified medical professionals offer comprehensive consultations, clearly explaining potential benefits, realistic outcomes, risks, and appropriate treatment options tailored specifically to your needs.
Do non-surgical chin treatments look like a ball?
In the majority of cases non-surgical chin treatments will not look like a ball. Risks of treatment as they apply to you will be discussed at your complimentary consultation with one of our experienced cosmetic clinicians.
Can non-surgical chin augmentation help with a double chin?
Cosmetic chin treatments may subtly improve facial proportions by enhancing chin projection and definition, potentially reducing the visual prominence of fullness beneath the chin. By gently improving chin shape and creating a more balanced side profile, these treatments can give the appearance of a more defined separation between the chin and neck.
Although chin-focused treatments do not directly remove fat or address fullness beneath the chin, they may improve overall facial balance and indirectly help to minimise the appearance of this area. The effectiveness of this approach depends on individual facial anatomy, the degree of under-chin fullness, and specific aesthetic goals.
