Chin Filler

Service Description

WHAT IT IS Chin filler at Dr Selvi Clinic in Brighton uses hyaluronic acid filler to add projection and shape to the chin, bringing it into proportion with the nose, lips and jawline. It is a Classic Range treatment, planned around your profile by Dr Selvi after a free initial consultation and assessment. The chin, nose and lips form the three points that decide how balanced a profile looks. A small change to chin projection can change how the whole lower face reads from the side. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE IT A chin that sits back can make the nose look larger and the jawline weaker, and it is a common reason people are unhappy with their profile while blaming a different feature. Chin filler can strengthen a recessive chin and improve the side view, and it is often combined with jawline treatment. WHAT WE AIM FOR A balanced profile, with the chin in proportion to the nose and lips and a smoother transition into the jawline: a change that looks like your own structure. WHO IT SUITS · A chin that sits back from the lips in profile · A short or weak-looking chin · Mild asymmetry of the chin · People who feel their nose looks large in profile · Those considering chin and jawline treatment together TREATMENT DETAILS Treatment time: Typically 30–45 minutes Discomfort: Numbing cream applied Downtime: Mild swelling for 2–3 days; bruising possible Final result: 1–2 weeks, once swelling has settled Duration: Typically 6–12 months, sometimes longer, depending on the product used Vascular mapping: Optional for the chin; available on request Aftercare: Avoid dental treatment for two weeks FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Could chin filler make my nose look smaller? It can change how large the nose looks in profile. A chin that sits further back makes the nose appear more prominent; bringing the chin forward improves the balance. The nose itself does not change. Should the jawline be treated at the same time? Sometimes. Chin filler is often combined with jawline work so the lower face reads as one line. Dr Selvi will tell you if chin treatment alone is enough. Will it look natural? At the right volume, yes. Projection is built gradually and checked in profile and from the front, and Dr Selvi will advise against adding more if it would unbalance the face. What are the risks? Swelling, tenderness and bruising are common and settle within days. The chin is a lower-risk area than the nose or under-eyes, but the rare risk of vascular occlusion, where filler blocks or presses on a blood vessel and reduces the blood supply to the skin, still exists. Pale or blotchy skin or increasing pain means phoning the clinic straight away; hyaluronidase is kept on site. Is it reversible? Yes. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if there is a complication, or if you are unhappy once the result has settled. Classic or Premium? The Premium Chin Augmentation uses specific branded gels; the Classic Range uses established hyaluronic acid fillers. Both are given by Dr Selvi, who will advise which suits your profile. Who will treat me? All treatments at Dr Selvi Clinic are carried out by Dr Selvi, a doctor, after a face-to-face consultation and an assessment of your suitability.
