Book NowBook NowChin projection and shape play a key role in overall facial definition. A well-proportioned chin creates balance, enhances jawline contour, and improves harmony between facial features. Many people feel self-conscious about their profile or have concerns about insufficient chin projection — sometimes avoiding side-profile photos entirely. Chin fillers use hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to reshape and enhance the chin without invasive surgery.
Benefits include:
Restoring proportion in height, width, shape, and projection Improving facial harmony Minimising chin creases, marionette lines, and dimpling Reducing the appearance of jowls or a double chin Creating a slimmer, more contoured “V” or heart-shaped face Enhancing masculine, chiselled jawlines in men Results are immediate, with minimal downtime, and the treatment is fully reversible.

At Harley Street MD, we pride ourselves on bespoke, patient-centred care. Every recommendation is customised to your unique facial proportions and symmetry. We begin with an in-depth facial assessment to understand your anatomy, your concerns, and your desired results. We then design a treatment plan to achieve a natural, balanced enhancement — whether that’s a subtle refinement or a dramatic reshaping.
All procedures are performed by GMC-registered doctors using only premium hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvéderm Voluma® and Volux®) for safety, longevity, and natural integration.
Minor discomfort is possible, but numbing and lidocaine in the filler reduce pain significantly.

No. All legally approved fillers in the UK are biodegradable and will break down over time. Permanent fillers are banned due to safety risks.
Dermal fillers are pharmaceutical-grade gel injectables designed to restore volume, provide lift, smooth out wrinkles and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are the safest and most popular. They are biodegradable, reversible, and hydrate the skin by retaining moisture. They are non-animal derived and integrate seamlessly with the skin.
Facial aesthetics are assessed by proportional balance, not absolute measurements. Leonardo da Vinci’s principle divides the face into equal upper, middle, and lower thirds. If the lower third (subnasale to menton) is shorter than the upper two, the chin may be considered small. Chin fillers restore optimal proportions without surgery.
Yes. From the profile, an ideal chin aligns vertically with the nose and lower lip. If it sits behind this line, it’s considered retracted. Fillers can restore projection and improve facial harmony without invasive procedures.
Yes. Sharpening the chin creates a central focal point, making the face appear slimmer. Aligning chin width with nose width often produces an attractive “V” shape, especially when combined with jawline slimming treatments.
HA fillers are safe when administered by experienced medical professionals. They are made in sterile lab environments, are vegan-friendly, and can be dissolved easily with hyaluronidase in case of overfilling or complications. This makes them a safer option compared to non-HA fillers.
Absolutely. In men, a strong, broad chin proportionate to the mouth enhances a masculine, chiselled jawline. We adapt techniques for male facial ratios, often combining chin fillers with jawline enhancement.
Yes, when the issue is due to lack of structural support. By improving chin projection and height, skin beneath the chin can be lifted, reducing the appearance of fullness. In cases with excess fat, weight-management treatments may also be considered.
Yes. Dimpling is often caused by overactivity of the mentalis muscle. Fillers can relax the area by adding volume. In more severe cases, Botox® can be combined to further smooth the skin.
All treatments are performed by GMC-registered doctors only.
