Chin filler at Min Clinic Cheongdam, Seoul

What it is and how it is done

• The doctor assesses your facial proportions and side profile as a whole, then makes a filler treatment plan for you.
• Changes in chin volume and contour can be seen right after treatment.
• As early swelling goes down and the filler settles, the result generally looks more natural after about 1 to 2 weeks.
• Filler for a receding chin is not simply a treatment that makes the chin longer.
• The doctor adjusts the volume of the chin tip and how far it projects. This considers how receding the chin is, the length of the face and the profile from the nose to the lips and chin.
• This is designed so that the overall facial proportions blend naturally.
• How chin filler feels varies from person to person.
• Before treatment, topical anesthesia is generally applied, or a filler containing an anesthetic is used to reduce discomfort during injection.
• A slight sting or a feeling of fullness may be felt during treatment, but it is generally tolerable.
• Whether more treatment is needed is best decided by the doctor after checking the shape of the chin and how it has settled.
• The effects may last about 1 to 2 years for areas such as the lips and nasolabial folds. For areas such as the forehead, nose, chin and cheeks, they may last about 3 years.

Treatment time and recovery

• The treatment takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Local anesthesia is used.
• Normal daily activities are generally possible right after treatment.

Results and treatment interval

• Changes may begin to appear right after treatment, and the filler settles naturally over time, with the line settling after about 1 to 2 weeks.

Aftercare and precautions

• Do not rub the treated area too much, and keep the tape on the treated area for 24 hours. Avoid deep facial massage.
• Very rarely, pigmentation may appear, and it fades over time.
• It is best to avoid saunas and Korean bathhouses for about 1 week after treatment.
• It is best to avoid alcohol and smoking where possible.
• If the treated area turns red or feels hot for a while, a cold compress can help.
• Face washing and makeup are possible from 4 hours after treatment.
• If severe swelling or pain continues in the treated area, contact the clinic right away.
