Hello,

I am Director Kim Jang-joo from Su-seo.

​

​

The chin is an important area that decides the harmony of the overall contour of the face.

​

​

When the chin is short or receding,

it often looks flat in profile.

It can also feel lacking in three-dimensionality.

​

​

That is why more people who want natural improvements are considering chin fillers.

​

​

Today, I will briefly summarize two key points that those considering chin fillers should check.

​

​

📌 Why do wrinkles appear under the lips?

The photo shown is an actual patient photograph taken after the procedure (25.10.27), and brightness and color adjustments have not been applied.

Results may vary depending on individual skin conditions, and it has been posted with patient consent.

Wrinkles can form horizontally under the lips,

and the main cause is habitually overusing the chin muscles (mentalis m.) when closing the mouth.

​

If the habit of tightly closing the lower lip is repeated,

the chin may appear jagged like a 'pebble chin' and,

ultimately horizontal wrinkles may form under the lips.

​

When closing the mouth, it's best to maintain a feeling of light contact only with the lips.

​

Nevertheless, if the chin muscles continue to be used excessively and wrinkles develop,

👉When wrinkles are not severe

Getting botox for the chin every 3 to 4 months can

help reduce the use of chin muscles and prevent wrinkles from deepening.

​

👉If the wrinkle lines are already deep

You may consider using fillers to

smoothly supplement the hollow and wrinkled areas.

​

When considering these aspects, the design of chin fillers becomes much more natural,

and it allows for a connection in consideration of the wrinkles under the lips.

​

⭐ Brief Summary of Chin Fillers

Chin fillers are procedures that inject hyaluronic acid components

to supplement the shape or length of the chin.

They are relatively simple and quick to recover,

and most importantly, the ability to see changes immediately after the procedure is an advantage.

​

Generally, the duration is about 6 months to a year, and

afterwards, retouching procedures can be performed to continuously manage the desired contour.

​

Additionally, without surgical methods, it is possible to

naturally match the overall proportions of the face, which is why

many people choose this procedure.

​

Consultation for chin fillers is a procedure that receives inquiries from both men and women.

However, to achieve good results, it is necessary to consider not only the chin

​but also the flow of the lips, nose, and the entire chin together.

​

The face is connected like a single structure and

if only a specific area is emphasized, it may appear artificial.

​

I'll explain this part in a bit more detail below.

​

⭐ First Checkpoint

🫧Design that matches your face

​

The most important thing in chin fillers is

‘a design that perfectly matches your face’.

​

Generally, men prefer straight and defined lines,

while women often prefer soft and curved lines.

​

However, simply following the desired shape can

be less natural than expected.

​

​

If the chin is overly emphasized, it can create a separate impression from the overall face,

and if the chin protrudes too much, it may seem unnaturally strong.

​

Therefore, it is important for the medical staff to analyze the facial proportions first,

consider the hollowness under the lips, the marionette lines, and the overall flow of the lower face when designing.

​

​

Additionally, adjusting the position of the chin based on the

‘Rikets line’ which connects the nose and chin from the side,

​

can lead to a more sophisticated and harmonious appearance rather than just a jutting chin.

​

Ultimately, natural results are achieved through thoroughly customized design.

⭐ Second Checkpoint

Detailed examination (ft. ultrasound)

Chin fillers are not procedures that can be taken lightly just because the procedure time is short.

​

The chin area has blood vessels and nerves distributed throughout,

so it is very important to maintain the correct depth and safe layers.

​

Therefore, it is advisable to choose medical staff who take enough time for consultation to procedure and check carefully.

​

In this case, ​ultrasound equipment is a great help.

​

Using ultrasound allows for accurate identification of bone depth and the location of blood vessels

before injecting the filler,

​

allowing for safe procedures based on objective evidence rather than experience.

​

This process is not only beneficial for preventing side effects

but also for accurately filling in volume at the desired locations,

resulting in smoother and more natural contours.

​

⭐ Summary of Today's Content

💫The overall harmony of the face is the most important.

💫The detailed examination process determines the quality of the results.

💫Conducting while confirming the structure with ultrasound is much safer.
