Your chin plays a major role in defining your facial profile—and when it lacks projection or symmetry, it can throw off the overall balance of your appearance. With non-surgical chin filler, it’s now possible to sculpt, refine, and enhance the lower face without downtime or invasive procedures.
At Metropolis Dermatology in Pasadena, we offer customized chin filler treatments that use advanced dermal fillers to improve shape, proportion, and definition. Whether you’re correcting a recessed chin, enhancing facial harmony, or creating a more structured jawline, our team tailors each treatment to your natural anatomy and aesthetic goals.
What Is Chin Filler?
Chin filler is a minimally invasive injectable treatment that uses hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers to enhance the size, projection, and contour of the chin. These fillers add volume to specific areas, helping to:
- Improve a weak or underdeveloped chin
- Create a stronger, more defined side profile
- Correct asymmetry between the left and right sides
- Blend the chin seamlessly into the jawline and lower face
The result is a more balanced and refined appearance, often with subtle lifting and reshaping of the jawline as well.
Common Treatment Areas
Our chin filler treatments focus on the lower face, including:
- Chin projection: Adds forward volume to strengthen the profile
- Chin width: Balances chin width in proportion to the jawline
- Symmetry correction: Addresses minor differences between the sides of the chin
- Jawline enhancement: Creates smoother, more defined facial contours
What Concerns Can Chin Filler Address?
Chin filler can improve a wide range of aesthetic concerns:
- Receding or weak chin: Enhances projection for a stronger lower face
- Facial imbalance: Helps align the chin with the rest of the face for greater harmony
- Underdefined jawline: Improves contour and sharpens the lower third of the face
- Mild sagging: Provides subtle lift and support to the jawline area
What to Expect During Treatment
A typical chin filler session takes about 30 to 45 minutes and involves:
- Facial assessment and consultation to discuss goals
- Topical numbing applied for comfort
- Precise filler injections using a fine needle or cannula
- Post-treatment care instructions provided before leaving the office
Discomfort is minimal, and while some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising, these effects typically resolve within a few days.
How Long Do Chin Filler Results Last?
You’ll see results immediately after treatment, with continued improvement as swelling subsides.
- Most results last 9 to 12 months
- Maintenance treatments are recommended as needed to preserve contour and volume
Post-Treatment Care:
- Avoid touching or pressing on the treated area for 24 hours
- Sleep with your head slightly elevated for the first night
- Avoid strenuous workouts and alcohol for the first 24 hours

Chin filler may be the right option if you:
- Want a stronger or more projected chin
- Are looking to balance your facial proportions
- Prefer a non-surgical solution with little to no downtime
