The chin is an essential element of the face. If in the past its role was neglected, today it is recognized that its shape and projection are assets of beauty.
Non-surgical genioplasty is a technique of aesthetic-oriented medicine aimed at modifying the chin in order to make the face more harmonious.
Hyaluronic acid injections are a very effective way to reshape the chin without resorting to surgery. This non-invasive procedure is called medical genioplasty and makes it possible to treat certain chin imperfections, in particular a receding chin.
This procedure often falls within the framework of a medical profiloplasty protocol.
How to reshape the chin ? How to get a prominent chin ? It is possible to meet these demands without resorting to surgical genioplasty.
The injection of hyaluronic acid into the chin allows patients to benefit from an aesthetic improvement of the chin without social downtime. The results are natural.
Over time, certain changes occur at the level of the chin :
Chin imperfections can have different origins : genetic factors, aging, or even trauma. The most common are :
A beautiful chin is a chin that is harmonious, meaning that it respects certain criteria of shape, perfect beauty proportions (the golden ratio), projection, and angles formed between lines passing through the chin and other facial structures.
The female chin is typically rounded and pointed. Seen in profile, a concave curve (just below the lip) is followed by a convex curve that ends at the oval.
Nevertheless, depending on the facial morphology, a slightly square chin can be considered feminine, for example in women who have a well-defined oval and a rather angular face.
The male chin is square.
Feminization and masculinization of the chin are common requests.
A properly projected chin is located 3 mm behind a line passing through the midpoint of the dorsum of the nose and the most projected point of the upper lip.
It is called prognathism (or protruding chin) if the chin is forward relative to this line, and retrognathia (or receding chin) if the chin is behind this line.
The distance ‘nose to the horizontal line passing through the corners of the lips’ must be equal to one-third of the distance ‘subnasale point to chin’. This is one of the proportions of facial beautiphication.
The cervico-mental angle (angle between the neck and chin seen in profile) should be between 85 and 90°.
Medical genioplasty is a procedure of aesthetic-oriented medicine aimed at improving facial harmony by modifying the shape, size, or position of the chin. This intervention can be performed to correct a receding chin, chin asymmetries, to feminize or masculinize the chin, or to define its contours. In cases of excess bone or skin, or a chin that is too advanced or too wide, surgery is often the only option.
These defects can impact self-confidence, which is why many people consider hyaluronic acid injections into the chin to correct them and achieve a more balanced and harmonious chin.
Before any injection of hyaluronic acid, Dr. Romano, during a preliminary consultation, performs a static and dynamic analysis of the chin.
Chin injection falls within the framework of facial and profile enhancement (medical profiloplasty). The analysis must always be done in relation to the lips and the nose.
After disinfecting the skin, hyaluronic acid is precisely injected into the targeted areas of the chin using a fine needle.
The procedure is quick, lasting only a few minutes, and the results are immediately visible. You can resume your daily activities without delay.
The hyaluronic acid used must be very firm and minimally hydrophilic. This is necessary to prevent its displacement in this area of high mechanical stimulation.
The product is placed in contact with the bone. More superficial, dermal injections can complement the deep injection.
The pain associated with chin injections is minimal. The application of a numbing cream is not necessary.
Hyaluronic acid contains lidocaine, which acts directly during the injection to reduce pain. The sensation experienced may vary according to each patient’s individual sensitivity, but most patients describe a slight pressure or tingling rather than pain.
Who is the ideal candidate for chin injection ? Chin injection is an effective solution to correct various aesthetic chin issues and to improve facial harmony. The benefits are :
In certain cases, chin injections are an effective option to improve the double chin.
Hyaluronic acid is used to define the jawline and chin. By increasing the projection of the chin, these injections lift the double chin.
However, for patients with significant submental fat, a combined treatment with cryolipolysis is necessary to achieve optimal results.
Granular skin on the chin can have a dual etiology.
If this imperfection is caused by aging (first case in the figure), the treatment is done by injecting a very fine-particle hyaluronic acid, Skinbooster, which is injected very superficially into the dermis.
Chin injections for men are increasingly popular because they allow facial masculinization by creating a more defined chin and a more pronounced jawline. Unlike women, men often seek results that accentuate the chin structure to achieve a more angular and masculine profile.
The injections are strategically placed to shape the chin and jawline without altering natural expressions, while ensuring immediate and lasting correction.
Today, it is possible to improve the chin profile without surgery.
This medical profiloplasty technique is performed through hyaluronic acid injections.
In just a few minutes, the chin can be reshaped and projected for a natural, harmonious result.
Jawline definition is often done during the same session to enhance the entire lower third of the face.
For patients who wish to reduce or eliminate a chin dimple, the solution is hyaluronic acid injection, which fills the depression.
During an initial consultation, Dr. Romano assesses the depth and shape of the dimple and the significance of the muscular component.
In fact, the muscles exert tension on the skin in this area, meaning that the dimple can be softened but not completely erased by hyaluronic acid injections.
Chin injection is important for facial and profile enhancement. The result is immediate.
At the facial level, this technique allows to :
Hyaluronic acid injection in the chin allows for :
The lifespan of hyaluronic acid is one year. However, since the product used is quite firm, the result is visible for years.
After the first injection, a maintenance injection is scheduled one year later. Thereafter, the procedure is repeated every two to three years depending on the patient’s anatomy, genetics, and the type of defect corrected.
The price of a chin injection will mainly depend on the type of product used (especially its firmness and cross-linking) and the amount required to achieve the desired result. In general, the cost of a chin injection in Geneva is 600 CHF per syringe, with an average of 1 to 4 syringes used depending on the level of correction and definition desired, and the patient’s anatomy.
The total cost of non-surgical chin reshaping is therefore determined after a detailed consultation, based on the patient’s aesthetic goals and anatomical features.
The choice between chin injections and chin surgery depends on the patient’s aesthetic goals and the possibility of having—or not having—a social downtime after the procedure.
Hyaluronic acid injections in the chin are ideal for people seeking a non-invasive and reversible solution, with immediately visible results and minimal side effects. This procedure does not allow for chin reduction. A protruding chin, for example, can only be treated surgically.
Chin surgery, or surgical genioplasty, is a permanent solution and is recommended for significant structural modifications or when long-lasting results are desired.
Any type of aesthetic imperfection can be treated, but for chin augmentations, the result is less customizable compared to hyaluronic acid injections because the shape is determined by the implant.
Chin injections are becoming increasingly popular among patients seeking to harmonize their profile without surgery. Many patients report high satisfaction after this type of treatment, mainly due to its non-invasive nature and the immediate results it provides. Reviews highlight the ability of the injections to correct a receding chin, define the jawline, and restore facial symmetry in a subtle and natural way. Most patients also appreciate the quick procedure—about five minutes—performed in the clinic without causing social downtime. However, it is important to emphasize that the success of this procedure primarily depends on the expertise of the physician and the careful selection of products used. Patients are aware of the importance of a personalized consultation and precise analysis to achieve an optimal and harmonious aesthetic result.

Aesthetic medicine for the chin covers a range of non-surgical, minimally invasive procedures designed to improve the appearance of the chin. These procedures include the injection of hyaluronic acid, the application of tensor threads and other techniques to redefine the shape, size and projection of the chin.
How long the results last depends on the type of treatment carried out and the individual characteristics of the patient. In general, the results of hyaluronic acid injections last one or two years.
Although aesthetic chin procedures are generally safe, they may cause temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising or discomfort. It is essential to consult an experienced doctor to avoid more serious complications.
Medical genioplasty uses non-surgical, minimally invasive techniques to change the appearance of the chin, while chin plastic surgery involves more invasive surgical procedures such as prostheses or bone reduction.
In aesthetic medicine, a variety of aesthetic problems of the chin can be corrected: the receding chin, the asymmetric chin, the projection and rotation of the chin and the definition of the mandibular line.
The advantages of medical techniques compared to surgical ones are: short or no recovery time, natural results, no postoperative care, and procedures performed in the clinic without general anesthesia.
Good candidates are patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their chin and wish to improve its appearance without resorting to surgery. Some flaws, such as chins that are too prominent or chins that are too curved, cannot be treated medically.
From the age of 18, subject to a medical evaluation and an appropriate aesthetic indication.
To harmonise the profile of the face, correct a receding chin, redefine the mandibular line and balance the proportions of the face.
With hyaluronic acid or Radiesse injections, radiofrequency, or ultrasound to improve the contour and firmness of the oval.
It is not possible to reduce the chin using medical techniques. In this indication, surgery is the only option.
Results generally last between 9 and 14 months, depending on the product used and the patient's metabolism.
No, once injected, hyaluronic acid integrates into the tissues and cannot be manually displaced.
Hyaluronic acid injections, radiofrequency, ultrasound, cryolipolysis in cases of double chin.
A highly cross-linked and very firm hyaluronic acid is ideal for the chin due to its volumizing properties, its ability to define contours, and its capacity to remain in place without migrating despite the multiple stresses in this area.
Side effects are minimal if the injection is carried out by an experienced doctor: redness, swelling, bruising, infections.
Yes, through hyaluronic acid injections to balance and harmonize the shape of the chin.
Injections of fillers, radiofrequency, ultrasound and skin rejuvenation treatments.
It depends on the type of correction desired, personal preferences, the available recovery time, and your doctor’s opinion.
