What Is Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation? A Medical Guide to Enhancing Lower-Face Proportion
Chin augmentation is one of the most requested treatments at TT Aesthetics Docklands for patients seeking improved lower-face balance or softening of a recessed chin.
But what exactly is non-surgical chin augmentation, and is it right for you?
Here’s what to know before you book how it works, who it’s suitable for, and why practitioner experience matters.
What Is Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation uses dermal fillers, usually made from hyaluronic acid a substance found naturally in the body that attracts water and restores volume. When injected into the chin, it can:
Enhance projection
Improve symmetry
Define the jawline
Support age-related volume loss
It’s a non-surgical treatment, so there are no incisions or downtime. Results are temporary and generally last 6–12 months, depending on your metabolism, filler type, and treatment plan.
How Does It Work?
The filler is injected in precise amounts using a fine needle or cannula. Your practitioner will assess your bone structure and soft tissue, then strategically place the product to add shape and support.
Hyaluronic acid binds to moisture in the skin, integrating with surrounding tissue to create natural lift and definition without surgery.
Does It Hurt?
At TT Aesthetics, we always use local anaesthetic during chin augmentation. This ensures the treatment is very comfortable, with no pain once the anaesthetic takes effect. We also use adrenaline in the anaesthetic solution to help minimise bleeding and bruising.
You may notice mild swelling, redness, or tenderness afterward, but these effects typically resolve within a few days.
Who Is Suitable for Chin Augmentation?
Chin augmentation may be an option for adults who:
Have a recessed or under-projected chin
Want to balance the lower third of the face
Prefer a non-surgical alternative
Are in good general health
During consultation, a registered medical practitioner will review your history, anatomy, and expectations to determine if treatment is appropriate.
