Chin Filler in Myeongdong, Seoul

A small or receding chin can make the nose look larger and the jaw less defined. Chin filler adds projection and length to rebalance the whole profile in one short visit.

Quick answer

Chin filler uses a firm hyaluronic acid or CaHA filler, usually 1–2 ml, placed deep on the chin bone to add forward projection, length or a slightly pointed V-shape. It balances the profile, sharpens the jaw-to-neck line and can soften a chin crease. Treatment takes about 20 minutes, swelling is mild and results usually last 12–18 months.

What can chin filler do?

On a balanced profile, the chin sits close to a line drawn from the nose tip to the chin, with the lips just behind it. When the chin is set back, filler brings it forward. In Korea, a slightly longer, softly pointed chin is also popular to complete a V-line face, often combined with jaw Botox.

Who is it for?

  • A small, short or receding chin.
  • A soft jaw-neck angle that could be sharper.
  • A dimpled chin from muscle strain, often treated with chin Botox too.

How Obliv plans chin filler

Your doctor photographs your profile, checks the lip-chin relationship and decides whether you need projection, length or width. Filler is placed deep on the bone for structure, with small top-ups for smooth contour.

Typical volume Usually 1–2 ml of firm HA, or CaHA
Technique Deep, on the bone; cannula for contouring
Pairs well with Jawline filler, nose filler, jaw Botox

  • Swelling, tenderness and bruising.

  • Skip saunas, alcohol and hard exercise for 24–48 hours.

Dermal fillers by area

Each area has different anatomy, depth and safety rules, so we plan it separately. Choose an area for a doctor-reviewed guide, or read the dermal fillers overview.

Lines caused by movement usually respond better to Botox by area; skin quality to skin boosters. Meet the doctors who plan every injection.

Frequently asked questions

How long does chin filler last?

Usually 12–18 months, because the chin moves relatively little and filler sits deep on the bone.

Can chin filler make my face look slimmer?

Yes. Adding length and a softer point lengthens the lower face, which often looks slimmer, especially with jaw Botox.

Chin filler or chin implant?

Filler is reversible and needs no surgery; an implant is permanent. Filler suits mild to moderate changes.
