Chin Consultation
Concerns around chin projection, definition, and overall facial balance are among the most common things our patients discuss with us. A thorough chin consultation with our doctor will assess your facial profile from multiple angles, taking into account your unique bone structure and proportions.
During your consultation, our doctor will discuss options that may help address concerns around chin projection and definition, a softer or recessed chin, overall facial symmetry and balance, and the appearance of the lower face and jawline area.

As with any medical procedure there are potential risks. It is crucial to find an experienced and qualified injector who understands safe technique, facial anatomy, and the importance of patient education and managing complications. You will always be consulted by our doctor prior to your treatment.
Potential risks include:
Swelling: Most patients experience temporary swelling, usually resolving within a few days. To reduce swelling, all patients will be provided ice packs to go home with.
Pain: We use topical and local anaesthetics to minimize discomfort. After local anaesthetics, there will be no pain associated with the procedure. Paracetamol can be taken if needed post-procedure.
Bruising: Very common. To reduce this risk, patients are encouraged not to drink alcohol for 24 hours prior to the procedure. If you do bruise, it usually resolves within 7 days.
Infection: To minimise this risk and ensure patient safety, all procedures are performed in a controlled and clean environment. If there are signs of bacterial infection (redness, swelling, itch, pain, warmth) post - procedure, you will be prescribed with antibiotics as a prophylaxis.
Allergy: While rare, we're equipped with appropriate medications to manage allergic reactions.
Vascular occlusion: Rare but possible if product unintentionally enters a blood vessel. Techniques are employed to minimize this risk, and immediate reversal is possible with a dissolving agent.
