The choice of product, when injecting hyaluronic acid into the chin, is an important medical decision. Contrary to popular belief, not all hyaluronic acids are the same. Some are suitable for mobile areas with thin skin, such as the lips or under-eye circles, while others are specifically designed for deep volumes, like the chin or cheekbones.
So, what is the “best” hyaluronic acid to redefine the chin ? It is not about choosing a particular brand, but rather the technical characteristics of the product – such as its density, cohesivity, or ability to integrate into the tissues – which only an experienced doctor can evaluate to ensure an optimal result tailored to each face.
The chin is a structural and minimally mobile area, directly connected to the mandible. Any correction performed in this region impacts the harmony of the profile, the jawline, and the facial oval. To achieve a natural, stable, and lasting result, the injected product must have specific qualities :
A product that is too fluid will be absorbed too quickly or may migrate. A product that is too rigid or unsuitable for the treated area can stiffen the face, or even make it look artificial, altering its natural expressions.
Hyaluronic acid intended for the chin must meet specific criteria to ensure a harmonious, stable, and long-lasting result :
In the context of a medical genioplasty, the choice of injected product depends on the patient’s anatomical structure, the type of correction desired, and the technical characteristics of the gel used. Advances in aesthetic-oriented medicine have led to the development of hyaluronic acids specifically designed for each anatomical area of the face. The chin, formerly treated with versatile volumizing products, now benefits from dedicated formulations, developed to meet the particular requirements of this structural region.
Some gels stand out for their high projection capacity and excellent retention in deep tissues, offering a firm and long-lasting result, ideal for receding chins or corrections requiring significant support. Others prioritize a balance between structure and flexibility, promoting harmonious integration into the tissues and allowing for gradual or softer corrections. The densest gels, designed for marked volume loss, provide significant restructuring but require precise injection, especially in patients with a thin face. Finally, some formulations are recognized for their tolerance and uniform integration, offering a natural result, particularly suitable for feminine faces or minor asymmetries.
The final choice of product always lies with the expertise of the doctor, who adapts it to the chin’s morphology, skin quality, and the desired aesthetic goal.
There is no single “best” universal hyaluronic acid for the chin. The choice depends on several factors :
The same physician can use several products depending on the needs :
This work of composition, zone by zone, requires both medical and artistic expertise. The right hyaluronic acid is therefore the one that respects the patient’s anatomy, expectations, and the overall harmony of the face.
Chin correction is not based on a universal standard : it responds to different aesthetic expectations depending on sex, which directly influences the choice of injected product and the treatment strategy.
In men, the goal is generally to enhance the face’s masculinity, achieving significant projection, a well-defined structure, and a fairly pronounced mandibular line. To meet these expectations, the doctor will favor a highly cohesive gel with strong projection power, capable of creating a stable contour without risk of deformation over time.
In women, the request focuses more on subtle correction, aiming to soften a receding chin, rebalance the profile, and preserve the softness of the lower third facial contours. The choice will then lean toward a more elastic product, offering a subtle transition between the chin and the facial oval, with moderate projection and excellent tissue integration.
An experienced doctor will know how to adapt the formulation, technique, and injection depth not only to individual morphology but also to the aesthetic standards related to sex, in order to achieve a result that is harmonious, natural, and consistent with the patient’s identity.
It is possible, and often desirable, to combine multiple hyaluronic acids in the same session. This combination is an integral part of the personalized approach to medical genioplasty, particularly in complex corrections of the lower third of the face. The physician’s choice is not based on using more products, but on a reasoned selection aimed at achieving a result perfectly adapted to each morphology.
A dense and highly cross-linked gel can be injected deeply, directly in contact with the bone, to create anterior chin projection. To this structural base is added a more flexible gel, designed to blend into the surrounding tissues. Used along the jawline or at the corners of the mouth, it ensures a harmonious transition and prevents any break in continuity.
This technique allows for a stable and durable central chin structure while restoring fluidity and natural contours. It prevents the appearance of artificial angles or overcorrection effects, ensuring a balanced, precise, and aesthetic result.
Patients often wonder about the quality of the product after injection.
The key indicators are :
Signs of an ill-suited product are :
In a rigorous medical setting, these situations remain exceptional. A high-quality hyaluronic acid, correctly injected, provides an imperceptible result and a noticeable improvement.
