Chin up!

This month, VIVACY are focussing on a highly overlooked but nonetheless key area in the overall balance of the face and profile of both male and female patients—the chin




The chin is often overlooked as an area for aesthetic treatment. However, addition of a highg-prime HA filler placed correctly into a sunken chin can have outstanding results in balancing one’s profile and harmonising the face.
Whilst we often look at our face straight on in the mirror, in reality it is visible from all angles. Improving chin projection and shape can minimise the appearance of a double chin, sharpen the jawline and even enhance the appearance of the lips from the front and side profiles. Chin augmentation even has a positive effect on enhancing the appearance of the nose, especially when the nose, lips and chin are balanced proportionally.

With age, we also see considerable change to the lower third of the face. Tissues lose their laxity and sag (with the help of gravity) together with age-related bone loss and we lose definition. Restoring some of this lost definition with enhancement of the chin can create a
more youthful appearance.

Finally, the chin is an important area to consider when aiming to feminise or masculinise the face. When aiming to feminise, a delicate addition of the filler in the centre of the chin can create that ‘V’ shape that many seek. Whereas a squarer chin involves carefully placing filler alongside the chin muscle, resuting in a more masculine look.

Your go-to product for injecting the chin

When injecting the chin, you are injecting either into the subcutaneous and/or hypodermal layers to add volume and structure, and need a product that will work with the histology of the tissue. For deeper restructuring, filler may also be injected onto the bone. STYLAGE XXL is optimised for this, with a high viscosity to prevent the product spreading between adipocytes and along deep tissue compartments. Its elasticity is also optimised to withstand pressure and shearing forces—which it is subjected to below the dermis and is essential to maintain results. These precise viscoelastic properties are possible thanks to VIVACY’s patented IPN-Like technology—which consists of two independently cross-linked monophasic hyaluronic acid networks.

Our practitioners have reported that STYLAGE XXL is their go-to for any chin contouring, and that the product is optimised to allow for excellent tissue integration and does not attract too much available tissue hydration which means that it maintains its shape and provides good longevity.
