Hello,

This is Director Kim Jang-joo from Suseowon.

​

​

The chin is an important area that determines the harmony of the entire face.

​

​

If the chin is short or recessed,

it can look flat from the side

and often feels lacking in three-dimensionality.

​

​

Therefore, there has been an increase in people who wish to improve naturally

considering chin fillers.

​

​

Today, I will briefly summarize

two key points that those considering chin fillers must check.

​

​

📌 Why do wrinkles appear under the lips?

Results may vary depending on individual skin conditions, and consent from the patient has been obtained for publication.

​

Sometimes, horizontal lines appear under the lips,

​

which is primarily caused by habitually overusing the chin muscles (mentalis m.)

when closing the mouth.

​

​

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

the chin can appear bumpy

like a 'pebbled chin',

​

which ultimately can lead to

horizontal wrinkles under the lips.

​

​

When closing the mouth, it's best to maintain a feeling of just lightly touching the lips.

​

​

However, if the chin muscles continue to be excessively used and wrinkles form,

​

​

When wrinkles are not severe

Getting chin botox every 3-4 months

can help reduce the use of chin muscles

and prevent wrinkles from deepening.

​

​

If wrinkle lines have already set in

​

You can consider methods to gently supplement the areas with hollows and wrinkles

through fillers as well.

​

​

If you also look at these aspects,

the chin filler design will be much more natural,

and you can connect and consider the wrinkles under the lips.

​

⭐ Brief Overview of Chin Fillers

Chin fillers involve injecting hyaluronic acid to supplement the shape or length of the chin.

​

​

It's a relatively simple procedure with a quick recovery time,

and above all, the advantage is that you can see immediate changes right after the procedure.

​

​

Generally, the duration lasts

about 6 months to 1 year,

​

and you can continuously manage the desired contour

through touch-up procedures afterward.

​

​

Additionally, it allows you to naturally match the overall proportions of the face

without surgical methods, which is why many people continuously seek this procedure.

​

​

Chin filler consultations

are consistently sought by both men and women.

​

​

However, to achieve good results,

you must not look only at the chin

​

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

It's essential to have a design that considers these aspects collectively.

​

​

The face is interconnected like a single structure, so

if only specific areas are emphasized,

it can look unnatural.

​

​

I will explain this part in a bit more detail below.

​

⭐ First Checkpoint

Design suited to your face

​

The most important thing in chin fillers is

‘a design that perfectly suits your face’.

​

​

Generally, men prefer

straight and defined lines,

​

while women often favor soft and curved lines.

​

​

However, following the exact desired shape may not be as natural as expected.

​

​

If the chin is excessively emphasized,

it can create a disjointed impression from the rest of the face,

​

and if the chin protrudes too far,

it may appear unnaturally strong.

​

​

Therefore, it is essential for the medical staff to analyze the overall proportions of the face first,

while also considering the hollowness under the lips and the marionette lines, along with

the overall flow of the lower face.

​

​

Also, if you adjust the chin position

based on the 'Ricketts line' that connects the nose and chin from the side,

​

the chin will not appear jutting out alone, but

the entire face will transform into a more sophisticated

and harmonious look.

​

​

Ultimately, natural results are achieved through

thoroughly customized designs.

⭐ Second Checkpoint

Detailed examination (ft. ultrasound)

​

Chin fillers should not be seen as a light procedure just because the treatment time is short.

​

​

The chin area contains blood vessels and nerves,

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

​

​

Thus, it is advisable to choose medical professionals who take sufficient time

from consultation to treatment to check meticulously.

​

​

At this time, a ultrasound device is

very helpful.

​

​

Using ultrasound allows for accurate verification of the depth of the bones and the location of blood vessels,

so fillers can be injected

​

without relying solely on experience and

based on objective evidence

to ensure safe treatment.

​

​

This process is advantageous not only in preventing side effects

but also in accurately filling the desired volume in the targeted location,

​

helping create a more natural and softer contour.

​

⭐ Summary of Today's Content

⭐ Overall facial harmony is the most important.

⭐ A detailed examination process determines the completeness of the results.

⭐ Proceeding while verifying structure with ultrasound is much safer.
