Chin Filler
in St. George, Utah

At Aera Medical Aesthetics, chin filler runs $700–$900 per syringe. Most patients need 1–2 syringes for visible improvement, with significant retrusion sometimes requiring 3 syringes built up over multiple sessions.

Chin filler improves projection (how far forward the chin sits in profile), balances facial proportions, and visually elongates the lower face. It also sharpens the jawline by establishing the front anchor point of the mandible. Many patients with what they call a ‘weak chin’ benefit dramatically from chin filler — and often see jawline and neck definition improve as a side effect.

12–24 months for most patients. The chin has minimal movement compared to the lips or mouth, so structural HA fillers (Voluma, Lyft) tend to last on the longer end here. Some patients see chin filler persist 2+ years.

Different tools for different patients. Chin filler is non-surgical, immediately reversible, and ideal for mild-to-moderate retrusion or for patients who want to test how a more projected chin looks before committing surgically. A chin implant is permanent, more dramatic, and the right call for significant retrusion or patients who don't want repeating filler maintenance. Janessa is honest about which path fits which patient.

Often dramatically. The classic 'weak profile' — where the chin sits behind a vertical line dropped from the lower lip — can be transformed with 1–2 syringes of well-placed structural filler. Patients are often surprised at how much improving the chin sharpens the entire side view, including the appearance of the jawline and the neck-to-chin angle.

Yes — and often should be. The chin and jawline are anatomically continuous. Treating only the chin can leave a slightly disjointed look if the lateral jaw also needs definition. Janessa often recommends a combined chin + jawline plan for patients seeking lower-face contouring.

Common: mild bruising and swelling for 3–7 days, occasional tenderness. The chin tolerates filler very well — bruising is typically less than lip or under-eye work because the area is bony with thicker overlying skin. Avoid blood-thinners 5 days before to minimize bruising.
