Is a Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation Painful?

Most patients feel very little discomfort during treatment. Juvéderm Voluma contains lidocaine, which helps reduce any pain during the injections. You might feel some pressure or a quick pinch, but the procedure is usually easy to tolerate.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Most patients get their desired results in just one appointment. Depending on your goals, Dr. Antell may suggest a follow-up visit to review your results and determine whether you need additional filler.

How Long Until I See Results?

You will see results right after treatment. Mild swelling may affect your appearance for a few days, but your final look is usually clear within 10-14 days as the filler settles.

How Soon Can I Travel After Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation?

Since downtime is minimal, most patients in New York City can travel the same day or the next day. If you plan to fly soon after treatment, Dr. Antell may suggest waiting 24 hours before a long flight to allow any swelling to subside.

What Are the Risks Associated with a Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation?

The most common side effects are temporary swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, or small lumps at the injection sites, which usually go away in a few days. Although rare, more serious complications can happen with any dermal filler injection. Dr. Antell uses advanced injection techniques, a deep understanding of facial anatomy, and careful planning to reduce risks and help patients get safe, natural-looking results.

Refine Your Profile Without Surgery

Introduction to Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation

With the rise of social media, we’ve become movie stars in our own right, our lives often photographed and documented by loving friends and family. It’s only natural that you’d want to look your very best. Perhaps one of the most underrated markers of facial beauty is a prominent chin because it adds balance to the facial structure.

Until recently, however, there was no means to enhance the chin without surgical treatment. Understandably, some people may be hesitant to have a surgical procedure. However, the FDA has finally approved an incredibly effective dermal filler for non-surgical chin augmentation — Juvéderm Voluma. You can now consult Dr. Antell for non-surgical chin augmentation in New York City.

What is a Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation?

Non-surgical chin augmentation is a minimally invasive treatment that uses injectable dermal fillers to help improve the shape, projection, and definition of the chin.

Dr. Antell places filler along the chin and jawline to enhance facial balance, strengthen a weak chin, and create a more harmonious profile.

Juvéderm Voluma

Juvéderm is one of the most reputable brands for dermal fillers designed to add volume to different parts of your face. Dermal fillers are injectable products, usually made with a naturally occurring sugar called hyaluronic acid. They produce immediate results by reducing fine lines, wrinkles, creases, and other signs of aging.

Juvéderm offers a wide range of products, including Juvéderm Volbella, Juvéderm Vollure, Juvéderm Ultra, and more. Each product targets different parts of the face and serves different goals, whether adding moisture, enhancing thin lips, restoring the structure of sagging skin, or more. Until recently, Juvéderm Voluma was primarily used to add volume to the cheeks. However, with FDA approval, it can now also be used for chin augmentation in NYC.

Juvéderm Voluma has the ideal gel properties and profile for chin augmentation. The procedure is incredibly simple — all it takes is an injection in the right area, and you have yourself a beautiful chin to balance your facial symmetry. Juvéderm Voluma’s effects last for up to two years, making it one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers on the market.

What Are the Benefits of a Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation?

Non-Surgical: Juvéderm Voluma is the only FDA-approved dermal filler for non-surgical chin augmentation in NYC. All it takes is an injection — no incisions.
Immediately Effective: Juvéderm Voluma takes effect right away, so you don’t have to wait weeks or months for results.
Natural Appearance: Juvéderm Voluma enhances your chin without making it seem unnatural. No one will be able to tell that you’ve had work done on your chin.
Optimal Chin Augmentation: A skilled, experienced plastic surgeon will personalize the amount of Juvéderm Voluma used to ensure optimal results and perfect facial symmetry.
Single Session: You’ll see results after a single Juvéderm Voluma injection. You don’t need to visit the cosmetic surgeon repeatedly for multiple sessions.
Long-Lasting: Juvéderm Voluma is one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers. A single injection of the filler will last for over a year. Clinical studies have shown that the effects of Juvéderm Voluma may last up to 2 years with optimal treatment.
Guaranteed Satisfaction: According to clinical studies, over 90% of all patients were highly satisfied even six months after the treatment. As such, you’re guaranteed to be satisfied with your Juvéderm Voluma dermal filler.
