ChinShadow
Filler for the pre-jowl / mental-crease shadow that makes the chin look heavy or detached.
Overview
What is chin shadow filler?
Chin shadow filler is performed with Restylane, RHA, and JUVÉDERM — hyaluronic acid gels we choose for this site, not a one-brand default. A mental crease or pre-jowl shadow can make the chin look detached or heavy. Filler here is about light, not a bigger chin for its own sake.
We plan for balance: the area should still look like you, not a template. Product, depth, and amount follow the exam.
Why patients choose it
Key benefits
- A cleaner chin–lip transition when the shadow is a volume step
- Immediate contour with results you can see in the chair
- Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible with hyaluronidase if needed
- Can be staged so we never overfill in a single session
Treatment details
Areas & what to expect
Treatable areas
The mental crease and pre-jowl sulcus. Chin projection and DAO work are planned separately if they belong.
Your visit
After consultation and photos, we numb as needed, then place filler with needle or cannula depending on the area. You may feel pressure more than pain. Mild swelling and bruising are common for a few days.
We review aftercare in the room — sleep slightly elevated, skip intense heat and exercise briefly, and reach out if anything feels off.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about this treatment — your provider will cover anything specific to you at consultation.
Which filler do you use for chin shadow?
Restylane, RHA, or JUVÉDERM — this is a small, precise volume step. If you need projection or a slimmer jaw, that is a different map.
How long will it last?
Often six to eighteen months depending on the product, area, and your metabolism. Softer, more mobile areas usually fade faster.
Can it be dissolved?
Yes, when we use hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronidase can reverse it if needed — one reason we prefer HA when the plan might need adjustment.
