HYALURONIC ACID CHIN BEFORE/AFTER : RESULTS

Hyaluronic acid for the chin in Geneva

The treatment of the chin with hyaluronic acid injections makes it possible to correct certain facial imbalances without resorting to surgery. The before/after results show a clear improvement in the shape, projection, and contours of the chin, with a natural and harmonious outcome.
The goal is to restore structure, definition, and balance to the lower third of the face. The treatment is tailored to each morphology and takes into account the anatomical characteristics of each patient : insufficient projection, chin too short, moderate asymmetry, or lack of definition.
The comparison of the photos before and after the injections provides an accurate assessment of the results obtained.

  • Improvement of the facial profile.
  • Rebalancing of proportions.
  • Redefinition of the jawline.
  • Improvement of chin definition in front and profile photos.

Before the chin injection

Before any hyaluronic acid injection to the chin, a complete morphological analysis is carried out. It allows for a rigorous indication and the establishment of a personalized treatment plan, based on the patient’s expectations and medical needs.

The common indications are :

  • Receding chin (aesthetic retrognathia).
  • Chin too small or insufficiently projected.
  • Lack of definition in the lower third of the face.
  • Moderate asymmetry.
  • Irregular chin contour.

Particular attention is paid to the sagittal projection of the chin, its vertical height, as well as the relationship between the chin, the nose, and the lower lip. The doctor also checks skin tone, facial symmetry, and the underlying bone volume to assess the feasibility of the injection.
The “before” photos make it possible to precisely document the areas to be treated and serve as a comparison basis for evaluating the result.

After the injection : observable clinical results

The results of the treatment are visible immediately after the procedure, although slight swelling or temporary bruising may temporarily affect the aesthetic evaluation. The final effect is generally observed 7 to 10 days later.
Following the injections, several aesthetic improvements are generally noted. The chin appears better defined, with a clearer and more structured line. Projection is restored, effectively correcting a receding chin. In the presence of asymmetry, the injections help correct lateral imbalance and restore a more harmonious facial symmetry.
The structure of the lower third of the face is reinforced, without any artificial effect or overcorrection. Profile balance is restored, especially in lateral views, providing greater coherence to the overall face.
The evolution is progressive and natural, with harmonious integration of the product into the tissues. The result is natural, and the chin retains its mobility.

Hyaluronic acid chin before/after : visual and morphological analysis

The analysis of the results of a chin treatment with hyaluronic acid is based on several objective criteria that allow the aesthetic impact of the correction to be measured.
Before the injection, the projection of the chin is often considered insufficient, and the chin appears recessed, which can give the profile a receding aspect. After treatment, projection is restored, with a more visible chin better aligned with the facial axis.
The jawline, often blurred or poorly defined before treatment, is clarified, giving the face an impression of firmness and elegance.
The vertical proportions of the face, particularly in the lower third, may seem unbalanced before treatment. By restoring volume at the chin, vertical facial harmony is reestablished, with a visibly more balanced and structured profile.
Chin symmetry is also improved. Slight lateral asymmetry can be discreetly but visibly corrected, without compromising facial expressions.
Finally, the overall perception of the face is transformed: a profile that was once subtle or unbalanced gains structure, balance, and character.
To document these changes, standardized medical photography is a valuable tool. Images are taken under strict conditions: neutral position, constant lighting, front and profile shots, allowing faithful and objective comparison of results.

Before/after photos : hyaluronic acid in the chin

The before/after photos of hyaluronic acid injections in the chin are particularly striking due to the subtlety of the corrections made. The goal is not to radically transform the face, but to restore coherence, balance, and harmony.
Dans les clichés comparatifs, on constate généralement : un meilleur alignement du profil ; une correction des déséquilibres ; une définition accrue du tiers inférieur du visage ; une harmonisation naturelle qui ne laisse paraître aucun geste esthétique.
The most successful results are those that remain imperceptible as an intervention. People around notice a positive change without being able to identify the treatment performed.

Hyaluronic acid chin before/after : current numbers and trends

Improvement of the chin’s appearance is a rapidly growing request in aesthetic medicine. It is part of a global trend aimed at harmonizing the face without resorting to surgery.
Let’s analyze the key figures regarding hyaluronic acid injections in the chin.
The demand for injectable treatments in this area is steadily increasing, with an annual growth of over 25 % according to ISAPS (2024). This popularity is explained by fast, visible, and highly satisfying results.
From the first session, 9 out of 10 patients notice a significant improvement in their profile. After treatment, 92 % feel that their face appears more balanced and expressive.
Among men, 88 % report a clearly improved jawline definition, enhancing the impression of masculinity. On the women’s side, 84 % appreciate a gentle, natural correction perfectly in line with the delicacy of feminine features.
These data confirm that hyaluronic acid injected into the chin allows for predictable, harmonious, and enhancing results, meeting precise aesthetic expectations while respecting each face’s identity.

Evolution of the result over time

The evaluation of results after a hyaluronic acid injection in the chin cannot be limited to immediate post-procedure observation. Although the effect is visible as soon as the patient leaves the clinic, the product gradually integrates into the tissues. To fully appreciate the final result, it is essential to monitor morphological changes over several days :

  • Day 1 : first impressions. Within the first 24 hours, the injected volume is already visible, but it may be accompanied by slight swelling, a feeling of tightness, or localized redness. Although some patients already perceive a positive change, the result is still temporary, and comparative photos are premature at this stage.
  • Day 3 to Day 5 : disappearance of side effects. Swelling gradually decreases, any bruising fades, and the chin’s final shape begins to become visible. The contour becomes sharper, the profile alignment becomes clearer, and the result approaches the medium-term outcome.
  • Day 7 to Day 10 : harmonious integration. At this stage, the hyaluronic acid is perfectly integrated into the tissues. The chin regains a natural consistency. The jawline becomes sharper, the projection is stabilized, and it becomes appropriate to take the first before/after photographic comparison.
  • Day 30 : stabilized result. One month after the injection, the result is fully consolidated. This period also marks the ideal time to consider a possible touch-up, in case of slight asymmetry or desire for adjustment. Photos taken at Day 30 are the most representative for clinical studies or aesthetic follow-up.

Chin injections : patient expectations and visible results

Before/after photos taken as part of a hyaluronic acid chin treatment are not limited to illustrating an aesthetic transformation. They allow an objective comparison between the patient’s expectations and the result achieved, based on transparency, listening, and realism.
A patient seeking chin enhancement generally notices better projection, a more structured profile, and a more defined facial oval.
When it comes to correcting slight asymmetry, injections allow for subtle rebalancing, resulting in a harmonious and natural outcome.
These results show that hyaluronic acid injections in the chin can meet precise and personalized aesthetic expectations while respecting each face’s uniqueness and the naturalness of expressions.

Before/after results by sex : men vs women

Aesthetic expectations related to the chin vary significantly by sex, and the results observed after treatment clearly reflect these differences. Facial perception, beauty standards, and morphological goals are not the same for men and women.
In men, the chin is often perceived as a structuring element of the lower face, associated with strength, maturity, and masculinity. Desired results include a fairly prominent projection and a more angular jawline. The face gains sharpness and character.
In women, expectations focus on finesse and balance. The goal is often to subtly correct a slightly receding chin, refine the lower third of the face, and preserve a soft, feminine expression, without ever hardening the features.
Before/after photos most often highlight an improvement in the facial oval, a more harmonious profile, and a subtle rejuvenation, achieved without altering the patient’s natural identity.
In all cases, the procedure must be precisely adapted to the morphology, sex, and aesthetic intention of the patient. Choosing the right hyaluronic acid and mastering the injected quantity are essential to ensure a balanced and elegant result.

What is the most visible difference in the before/after photos ?

The most striking change after a hyaluronic acid injection in the chin is generally the improvement in chin projection, particularly visible in profile. This anteroposterior volume gain helps to rebalance the entire face, harmonizing :

  • The positioning of the chin in relation to the nose.
  • The balance between the lower lip and the lower face.
  • The jawline and the cervico-mental angle.

Even a moderate correction can produce a strong visual effect. Those around the patient do not notice the hyaluronic acid injection, but perceive a natural improvement, often described as a ‘more balanced, more serene face’.
From the front, the change is more subtle but equally significant. The lower face appears better defined, firmer, and the facial oval is clear. The chin is more harmonious.
