Chin Sculpting

Chin sculpting treatments focus on the chin area and may help enhance balance and definition in the lower face. Outcomes vary between individuals, and not everyone will be a suitable candidate.

During your consultation, a qualified practitioner will review your medical history, assess your facial structure, and discuss your goals. This process helps determine whether chin sculpting may be appropriate for you.

• Chin projection — For some people with a weaker or recessed chin, treatment may help create the appearance of improved balance in the side profile.

• Chin shape — Chin contouring may assist in softening or refining the chin area, for example creating a gentler curve or reducing the look of sharpness.

• Chin length and creases — In certain cases, treatment may help reduce the appearance of a horizontal crease caused by overactive chin muscles, or give the impression of added length to the lower face.

Chin sculpting may help soften the appearance of mild jowls. By targeting areas around the chin and the pre-jowl sulcus (the area next to the sides of the chin).

For some people, results may last around 6 to 12 months, while others may notice changes for a longer or shorter period. The duration varies between individuals and is influenced by factors such as lifestyle, metabolism, and facial structure.

If ongoing results are desired, your practitioner can discuss follow-up options with you during your consultation.
