What chin and jaw filler is and how it works
It is a treatment that involves injecting high-density hyaluronic acid at strategic points on the chin and jawline. The product adds volume and support, allowing the chin to be projected forward, correcting mild asymmetries, and defining the angle between the jaw and neck.
- Projects a short or recessed chin.
- Defines the jawline and gonial angle.
- Improves the profile and lower third proportion.
- Can be adjusted in amount and shape according to the goal, more angular in men or finer in women.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance the body recognizes and degrades naturally, so the result is not permanent. This allows testing the change before considering a mentoplasty.
Who it is indicated for and who it is not
Chin and jaw filler can be useful for people with:
- Small or recessed chin affecting the profile.
- Poorly defined jawline.
- Double chin due to lack of chin projection.
- Men seeking a more defined jaw.
- Those who want to test the change before considering a mentoplasty.
It is not the first option when the bone deficit is significant, when there is considerable submental fat excess, or when the patient seeks a permanent change. In those cases, surgery or combination with double chin lipolysis is evaluated. It is also not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if there is an active infection in the area.
How the procedure is performed at Dr. Sandro Florez's office
The treatment is performed in the office in Bogotá and usually takes between thirty and sixty minutes depending on the amount of product and the areas to be treated.
Evaluation
Dr. Sandro Florez examines the face from the front and profile, evaluates chin position, jawline definition, and lower third proportion. Injection points and approximate product amount are defined.
Procedure
The skin is cleaned and topical or local anesthesia is applied as needed. Using a needle or cannula, hyaluronic acid is injected into the chin and along the jawline. The doctor molds the area to distribute the product and achieve a natural transition.
Afterwards
Symmetry is checked and care instructions are given. Most people resume their activities the same day, although there may be swelling or small bruises during the first few days.
Results: what to expect and when
The change in profile and jaw contour is noticeable immediately, but the final appearance is best appreciated when swelling subsides, which usually occurs within one to two weeks. The product integrates with the tissues and the result looks more natural over the days.
- Result visible from the first moment.
- More stable appearance from the second week.
- Typical duration between twelve and eighteen months, depending on the product, area, and each person's metabolism.
- The effect fades progressively, not abruptly.
If the patient is satisfied with the change and wants something permanent, a mentoplasty can be considered at a later stage.
Care and recovery
Recovery is simple in most cases. During the first few days, it is recommended to:
- Avoid pressing or massaging the treated area.
- Not sleep face down or rest the face on the jaw.
- Avoid intense exercise, sauna, and direct heat for two to three days.
- Not apply makeup to the area during the first hours.
- Use local cold if there is swelling, always with a cloth between the ice and the skin.
Bruises, if they appear, usually disappear in less than a week. If there is persistent pain, color change, or any unusual sign, contact the office in Bogotá.
Why get chin and jaw filler with a doctor in Bogotá
The chin and jaw area has vascular and nerve structures that require precise anatomical knowledge. A doctor trained in facial aesthetic medicine can choose the appropriate injection plane, use a cannula when appropriate, and reduce the likelihood of complications.
Dr. Sandro Florez performs this procedure in Bogotá with an approach based on facial proportion and realistic patient expectations. The prior evaluation helps determine if filler is sufficient or if it should be combined with other treatments such as facial harmonization or botulinum toxin for bruxism, when the masseter muscle influences facial width.
Combinations with other treatments
Chin and jaw filler can be combined with other procedures according to each face's needs:
- Double chin lipolysis: when there is excess submental fat in addition to lack of projection.
- Botulinum toxin for bruxism: to reduce masseter volume and slim the lower third.
- Facial harmonization: to balance chin, jaw, cheekbones, and lips in a single plan.
- Hyaluronic acid in other facial areas, such as under-eye hollows or folds.
The combination is defined during the evaluation, according to each person's goal and facial proportion.
How much chin and jaw filler costs in Bogotá
The cost of chin and jaw filler in Bogotá depends on several factors: the amount of hyaluronic acid needed, the brand and density of the product, the technique used, and whether it is combined with other treatments. It is not the same to slightly project a chin as to rebuild a complete jaw angle in a man.
Therefore, the price is defined after an in-person evaluation with Dr. Sandro Florez. During the consultation, a plan with approximate amounts is established and the cost is explained before performing any procedure. Book your evaluation in Bogotá to receive a clear, no-obligation proposal.
