Frequently asked questions

Clear answers before your visit.

Why does my chin look recessed in profile?

A chin that looks recessed may reflect bone structure, facial proportions or jaw position. Soft tissues also influence its appearance. An individual assessment helps distinguish limited projection that might benefit from subtle support with dermal fillers from a bite or skeletal concern that would be better assessed by a dental or surgical professional.

Why is my chin becoming less defined as I age?

Chin definition can change with age-related shifts in skin, fat distribution and underlying bone support. Weight changes may also affect this area. Dermal fillers can sometimes add support where volume or projection is limited, but they do not address every cause of sagging. An individual consultation determines whether they are appropriate for your anatomy.

Can skincare or exercises prevent loss of chin definition?

Skincare can support skin health, but it cannot prevent every change in chin contour. Sun protection and avoiding smoking help limit premature skin ageing. Exercises do not reliably change underlying chin projection. If definition remains a concern, an individual assessment can clarify whether dermal fillers or another approach could address the specific cause.

Can chin fillers balance my profile without making my chin stick out too much?

Dermal fillers may improve chin projection or proportions with a subtle correction, although a particular result cannot be guaranteed. Planning considers both front and profile views, your anatomy and your preferences. In Quebec, injectable treatment requires a prescription and an appropriate nurse–physician framework. An individual assessment determines suitability and whether a conservative approach can address your concern.

Can chin filler fix a double chin or a jaw alignment problem?

Chin fillers do not remove fat beneath the chin or correct jaw alignment. They may improve proportions when limited chin projection contributes to the appearance of the profile. An assessment distinguishes concerns involving volume, skin laxity, fat or bone structure. A bite or jaw alignment issue may require dental or surgical evaluation rather than filler treatment.

What is assessed before getting filler for chin contour?

Before chin filler, the assessment considers facial proportions, symmetry, skin, tissue support and your goals. Medical history, medications and previous cosmetic treatments are also reviewed. At EsthetIQ in Terrebonne, a consultation provides an opportunity to discuss suitability, alternatives and risks. Any injectable treatment requires a prescription and an appropriate nurse–physician framework under Quebec requirements.

What should I expect after chin filler injections?

Swelling, tenderness and bruising can occur after chin filler and temporarily affect the contour. Follow your personalised aftercare instructions, and do not massage the area unless instructed. Severe or increasing pain, pale or mottled skin, or any vision change requires urgent medical assessment because a rare vascular complication is possible. Contact the treating professional promptly about unexpected symptoms.

Are chin filler results permanent, and can they be adjusted?

Results from resorbable chin fillers are not permanent, and longevity varies with the product and individual. Reassessment after the initial swelling settles helps determine whether an adjustment is appropriate. Some hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved when clinically indicated, but dissolving treatment has its own risks and cannot guarantee an exact return to your previous appearance.
