The chin is one of the defining elements of the face as it forms a visual border to the neck. If the chin is very angular or lacks a clear contour, this affects the overall shape of the face. A receding chin in particular is often perceived as unflattering, which is why many people decide to have their chin corrected.
Nowadays, such a chin correction no longer necessarily requires surgery. In many cases, it is sufficient to inject the chin. During this treatment, we line the chin with high-quality hyaluronic fillers and sculpt it into the desired shape. Using special injection techniques, we can not only correct a receding chin, but also visually reduce the appearance of an overly prominent chin.
We would be happy to advise you personally in Mannheim as to whether your desired result can be achieved with hyaluronic acid treatment. If you have a very large chin or severe asymmetries, surgery may be unavoidable. In many cases, however, we achieve very impressive results by injecting the chin.
The effect of the hyaluronic fillers is temporary, so you do not have to accept any permanent changes. The treatment can be interrupted at any time by not having any further injections. Conversely, the result can be maintained permanently with regular touch-ups if you feel completely comfortable with your new chin shape.
Frequently asked questions about chin correction in Mannheim
Chin correction with hyaluronic fillers is particularly suitable for people with a receding chin. In this case, the chin lacks a visual closure to the front, which can be corrected by increasing volume with hyaluronic fillers. We can also correct slight asymmetries and even a prominent chin by injecting the chin. Targeted modeling changes the proportions so that the chin appears visually softer and more harmonious.
Before chin injections, we invite you to a consultation at our practice in Mannheim. In a personal consultation, Dr. Schumacher will explain the possibilities, risks and limitations of hyaluronic acid treatment. After getting to know your wishes in more detail, the treatment will be planned individually. If necessary, you will also be advised on alternative methods such as surgical chin correction.
The actual treatment usually takes a maximum of half an hour. The chin region is disinfected and superficially anaesthetized with an anaesthetic cream. Dr. Schumacher then begins to inject the chin by carefully inserting the filler into the skin and gently sculpting it into the desired shape.
After chin augmentation with hyaluronic acid, the result is immediately visible but may still be affected by slight swelling. After a few days at the latest, when the swelling has completely subsided, you can look forward to the final result.
After chin injections, you should take it easy for 1-2 days and avoid massaging the treatment areas. The hyaluronic fillers can still be displaced in the skin immediately after the treatment, which is why any pressure should be avoided.
We also recommend avoiding sport, the solarium and sauna for a few days and avoiding direct sunlight. Careful cooling can help with initial swelling or hematomas.
Chin augmentation with hyaluronic acid is a very safe procedure, especially in direct comparison with surgical chin augmentation. There are no skin incisions or permanent changes. In addition, we use hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the human body and is therefore generally very well tolerated.
Despite all the safety, professional execution is crucial for the success of the treatment. At our practice in Mannheim, you will be treated by Dr. Schumacher, a highly experienced specialist who has been performing minimally invasive facial treatments for more than 20 years.
As a rule, the after-effects are limited to slight redness, swelling or small bruises at the injection sites. These usually disappear completely after a few days at the latest.
Injections with hyaluronic fillers are generally a painless procedure. We use very fine injection needles for chin injections in Mannheim. We also apply an anesthetic ointment before injecting the chin. In this way, the treatment should be well tolerated.
Depending on the desired result, we need around 3 - 4 milliliters of hyaluronic acid for chin injections. Before the treatment, Dr. Schumacher will discuss with you in detail how you would like your corrected chin to look. He will then be able to provide you with more precise information on the amount of filler required and the treatment costs.
The hyaluronic acid in the chin lasts on average for around 8 - 12 months. Over time, the filler is completely broken down by the body. In order to maintain the sculpting effect in the long term, we recommend repeating the chin augmentation in Mannheim on a regular basis. Ideally, a top-up should be carried out before the hyaluronic acid has completely broken down.
After chin injections, we recommend a sports break of around 1 - 2 days. Other intensive activities should also be avoided during this time.
