Chin Correction

Are you not completely satisfied with your chin? For example, is your chin too short or too long? Or have you suffered from pits and wrinkles on your chin since you got older? There can be a lot going on with your chin. Sometimes people think that their chin doesn’t quite fit the rest of their face. This can also occur later in life. If you want to change the contour of your chin, a chin correction with a filler is a solution. You don’t have to undergo surgery. It is also possible that wrinkles or dents have developed in your chin due to the continuous tightening of the chin muscle. In that case, a muscle relaxant can remedy the problem.

Before a chin correction with a muscle relaxant or fillers is performed, there will first be a consultation in which your wishes, the treatment possibilities and much more will be discussed. You will receive a digital medical questionnaire at home in advance. It is important that you fill it out before the consultation. This way, the plastic surgeon can discuss the results with you during the consultation. The list shows, among other things, whether or not you qualify for the chin treatment. If everything is okay, the plastic surgeon will tell you more about the chin correction. He will explain about the different treatment methods, the result, the aftercare and possible risks. It is important that you understand what a chin treatment involves before you decide whether or not to perform it. Do you choose to have a chin correction performed? Then you will first sign a treatment agreement. Then the plastic surgeon will take pictures of your chin. After the chin treatment, photos will be taken again. These will be compared with the pictures before the treatment. This way, you can clearly see the effect of the chin filler or muscle relaxant. These photos will, of course, not be used for other purposes.

Usually, a chin filler will be used for a chin correction. Betan Clinics usually uses fillers that consist of water and a hyaluronic acid gel. Hyaluronic acid already occurs naturally in your body. It is the substance that keeps your skin supple and elastic. The production of hyaluronic acid decreases with age. This can also be seen on your chin. Wrinkles and pits appear. It is also possible that you have always had a short chin. By injecting fillers with hyaluronic acid into the chin, the skin will become firmer. This can greatly improve the contours of your chin. The chin filler is injected with a thin needle, which is done at several places in the chin. The plastic surgeon then massages the skin so that the fillers spread out well. In total, the procedure will take 15 to 30 minutes. If the bumps in the chin are caused by the muscle in your chin, it is sometimes decided to treat them with a muscle relaxant instead of fillers. This procedure takes less time. On average, the plastic surgeon will be ready with this type of chin correction within 5 minutes. You will feel virtually nothing of it. The muscle relaxant is injected into your chin with a thin needle. The plastic surgeon will put a few punctures in your chin, which will relax the muscle. This will cause the wrinkles and pits in your chin to pull away.

When the chin is treated with a filler, the skin will be numb. After the treatment, some red spots and swelling may occur. These often disappear the same day. There may also be bruising. These will disappear after a few days. The hyaluronic acid usually needs about 2 weeks to be fully absorbed into the tissue. As a result, the skin may look somewhat irregular at first. After 2 weeks, this will be completely gone. After a chin correction with a muscle relaxant, you will have to wait a little longer for the result. On average it takes 1 to 2 weeks before you can see this. The skin of your chin will then look smooth and supple. For both treatments, you should avoid the sun for the first 2 weeks after a chin correction. Do you have to go out in the sun? If so, always apply a sunscreen with a high SPF. We also advise you not to go to the sauna or use the sunbed. Also, avoid beauty treatments such as exfoliation or peeling during the first 2 weeks.

When treated with muscle relaxants as well as fillers, the skin will look smoother and more even. The chin looks more youthful. The result is not permanent. On average it takes 12 to 18 months before the filler is broken down by the body. If, after 2 weeks during the check-up, it appears that the filler has not yet spread properly and the skin is still somewhat irregular, this can be corrected immediately. Always keep in mind that the results of fillers vary from person to person. After a chin correction with a muscle relaxant, the result will persist for an average of 3 to 4 months. You can freely choose to return for a new treatment.

A chin correction with fillers or muscle relaxants poses little risk. When fillers with hyaluronic acid are used, there are few complications that can occur. It is a safe substance that can easily be broken down by the body and is 100% natural. Plastic surgeons around the world use the fillers used by our plastic surgeons at Betan Clinics.
