Treatment Overview
Chin Filler Contouring is a non-surgical dermatology treatment in Korea that uses hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers to reshape, lengthen, or project the chin, improving facial balance, symmetry, and contour. For patients with sagging or recessed chins, this treatment helps lift the lower face, tighten jawline definition, and create a V-line effect, commonly desired in Korean aesthetics.
Unlike surgical chin implants, fillers are minimally invasive, customizable, and reversible, making them a popular choice for both men and women seeking a natural contour enhancement and anti-aging lift.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Sagging Skin family of treatments (Air Jet Lifting, Botulinum Toxin Lifting, Ulthera HIFU, Shurink, Thread Lifting):
