The chin, although sometimes overlooked, plays a pivotal role in providing structural support and enhancing facial contours, creating a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
A well-defined chin and jawline are key elements of facial attractiveness, contributing to overall symmetry and balance.1 At Associates in Plastic Surgery, serving patients in Edison, Marlboro, Warren, and West Orange, New Jersey, we offer innovative non-surgical techniques for enhancing the chin and jawline for overall facial rejuvenation. Our board-certified plastic surgeons are dedicated to delivering personalized, natural-looking results that enhance your unique beauty and self-confidence.
What Is Jawline and Chin Enhancement?
Jawline and chin enhancement is a non-surgical procedure that uses FDA-approved dermal fillers to sculpt and refine the chin and jawline.2 Through precise injection techniques, our surgeons can enhance the lower face, addressing concerns such as a weak chin or undefined jawline, to achieve a balanced and defined facial profile.
Benefits of Chin and Jawline Enhancement with Dermal Fillers
- Achieve Facial Harmony: Enhances the contours of the chin and jawline, promoting facial symmetry and proportion.
- No Downtime: Unlike surgical chin augmentation with a chin implant, non-surgical enhancement requires no anesthesia or incisions, offering a convenient alternative with little to no recovery time.
- Immediate & Long-Lasting Results: Experience immediate improvements in chin and jawline definition following your treatment session that can last up to one year or longer.
- Customized Approach: Tailored treatments allow for personalized adjustments to suit your aesthetic goals and preferences.
Do I Have to Prepare for Jawline and Chin Enhancement?
Preparation for jawline and chin enhancement is simple and essential for optimal results. Begin with a consultation to discuss your goals and medical history. Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and smoking for a week prior. Stay well-hydrated and arrive with a clean face free of makeup. Wear comfortable clothing and consider arranging transportation, even though downtime is minimal. These steps ensure a smooth and successful cosmetic procedure. Our team at Associates in Plastic Surgery is here to guide you throughout the process.

Your journey to a more defined jawline and chin begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced surgeons. During this initial visit, your surgeon will assess your chin and jawline, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
On the day of your non-surgical chin augmentation procedure, a numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. Using precise injection techniques, dermal fillers will be strategically placed along the jawline and chin to enhance volume and definition. Our surgeons' expertise and attention to detail ensure natural-looking results that complement your facial features.
Recovery After Non-Surgical Chin and Jawline Enhancement
Following your non-surgical enhancement procedure, you may experience some minor bruising, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites. These temporary side effects typically resolve within several days. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately, with minimal restrictions.
Frequently Asked Questions About Jawline and Chin Enhancement
Am I a candidate for jawline and chin enhancement?
Ideal candidates for jawline and chin enhancement are individuals seeking subtle yet noticeable improvements in their facial profile. They may have concerns about a weak chin, undefined jawline, or asymmetry in these areas. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about what non-surgical procedures can achieve.
Can jawline and chin enhancement with filler improve a double chin?
Jawline and chin enhancement with filler are primarily for reshaping and refining the chin and jawline area. While it can improve the appearance of the chin, it will not directly address a double chin. For addressing a double chin or concerns related to excessive jowls, alternative treatments like Kybella or surgical procedures such as liposuction may be more appropriate.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels containing hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin. Our practice uses Juvederm, Radiesse or Voluma hyaluronic acid fillers to add volume, contour, and shape to various areas of the face, including the chin and jawline.
How long do results last?
The duration of results can vary depending on the type of filler used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. On average, jawline and chin enhancement can last 12 to 18 months or longer.3
Is the chin filler procedure painful?
Discomfort during the procedure is minimal, thanks to the application of a topical numbing cream and the inclusion of the anesthetic lidocaine in some filler formulations. Most patients report little to no pain during treatment.
Can I combine jawline and chin enhancement with other procedures?
Yes, many patients choose to combine jawline and chin enhancement with complementary cosmetic treatments from our med spa such as Kybella for submental fat reduction or Botox for wrinkle reduction. Our surgeons will discuss your options during your initial consultation to create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs and desire results.
