What is non-surgical chin enhancement?
Non-surgical chin enhancement is a safe, non-invasive alternative to traditional chin augmentation. The procedure involves injections into precise areas of the chin in order to increase the length, width or projection of the chin. This is a temporary augmentation which typically lasts 12 – 24 months.
Who is a good candidate for chin enhancement?
Anyone who desires an improvement in the size and shape of the chin may be suitable for non-surgical chin enhancement. For those with a small or weak chin, this can improve the balance of their face.
How is the treatment performed and is it painful?
Treatment is carried out in the clinic and takes around 30 minutes. The treatment is generally very well tolerated. Local anaesthetic cream can be used prior to treatment if desired – please request this when you book.
When will I see the results?
Improvement in chin shape and projection will be seen immediately following the treatment. Mild swelling may be seen, and this will resolve within 3 – 4 days. A bruise can occasionally occur. If you are prone to bruising, there’s a few things you can do before your treatment to minimise this. Ask us about it when you book.
How much does chin enhancement cost?
The cost for non surgical chin enhancement depends on the product used and the volume required. As a guide a typical treatment cost is $590. See our price list
Are there any side effects from chin enhancement treatment?
This type of treatment is generally very safe, but occasional side effects can occur. These include:
- Redness and swelling around the injection site
- Bruising can occur at the injection point and can occasionally be quite marked
- The appearance of a lump – very uncommon in this context – treatment with massage or dissolving enzyme injection
- Additional treatment may be needed to achieve the desired result
- Infection is very rare, but is possible with any procedure that pierces the skin
- Other rare complications can occur. These will be discussed during your consultation.
