Shape Up the Chin without Surgery
The chin is one of the most important components of our facial appearance. When the chin is recessed, undefined, or weak, it can impact our profile and our self-esteem. A non-surgical chin augmentation using dermal fillers is an option for those who want to try out the look of a chin augmentation without committing to surgery. It is also appropriate for those who are not candidates for a surgical implant or those with minor issues who want to better define their chins and jawline. Our injectors, Heather Bryant, MPAS, PA-C, Amanda Piligian, PA-C,
and Courtney Whitley, FNP-C, are experts in injectable fillers and can help balance your profile with a stronger chin without surgery.

What is nonsurgical chin augmentation and sculpting?
Chin augmentation using dermal fillers is a common procedure performed at Carolina Facial Plastics. This is a nonsurgical procedure that enhances the chin and lower face by injecting dermal filler into the treatment area. Strengthening a weak chin with filler injections can also help to create a stronger-looking jawline.

What can nonsurgical chin sculpting help correct?

- A chin disproportional to the face

- A weakened jawline
- Jowl formation along the jawline
Our expert injectors will evaluate your specific concerns and goals to determine whether nonsurgical chin augmentation is the right choice for you.
What is the procedure for nonsurgical chin augmentation in Charlotte?
A nonsurgical augmentation is a customized procedure that varies depending on the precise needs of each patient. At the time of your procedure, our expert injectors will do a consultation to thoroughly discuss your goals for the procedure so that you both have the same concept of your vision. A topical anesthetic will be applied to the treatment area. Next, a tiny needle or micro-cannula will be used to deliver precise volumes of dermal filler in the targeted areas of the chin and jawline. The dermal filler also contains a small amount of lidocaine, which reduces any discomfort during and after the procedure. The entire injectable procedure can be performed in our office in less than an hour.
Who is a good candidate for nonsurgical chin augmentation?
Dermal filler injections can offer outstanding results for patients who need mild to moderate adjustments to their chin. For patients with a severely recessed or weak chin, a chin implant may be a better option. Both of these procedures are routinely performed here at Carolina Facial Plastics and can be discussed at the time of your consultation.
Surgical vs. nonsurgical chin augmentation: Which is better?
The decision between surgical and nonsurgical chin augmentation is based on the patient’s goals, availability for downtime, and general health. Both can produce excellent results for patients.

Frequently asked questions
Will the procedure hurt?
The procedure is very comfortable with little discomfort. We use topical numbing cream on the skin before the treatment, and all of our fillers also contain lidocaine, which is a numbing medication to help minimize discomfort. Our injectors are experts in blunt-tipped cannula use. A cannula is a needle-less injection technique that offers a more comfortable experience. It also decreases bruising or swelling, allowing patients to show off their new look faster than they could with traditional needle injections.
What fillers are used during a nonsurgical chin augmentation?
The most common fillers used at Caroline Facial Plastics for nonsurgical chin augmentation are hyaluronic acid fillers. The most popular options include Restylane and Juvederm products, including Restylane Lyft, Restylane Defyne, and Juvederm Voluma. The ideal product for you will be discussed during your consultation before your treatment.
Can chin augmentation help with my jawline?
Absolutely. Nonsurgical chin augmentation extends the projection of the chin by the placement of dermal filler. As a result, there is an outward projection of the skin, leading to a more defined jawline. Dermal filler can also be added directly to the jawline itself during the same procedure as chin augmentation to help strengthen the entire lower face’s appearance.
How long do the results last from a nonsurgical chin augmentation?
Dermal filler injected as part of a nonsurgical chin augmentation typically last between 6-18 months, depending on the amount and type of filler used.
“I had such a fantastic experience with Carolina Facial Plastics. I saw Courtney, the nurse practioner, for Dysport and fillers. She was so practical and thoughtful, making sure to create a natural look for me and also being aware that this was my first time. My results were amazing – I didn’t even bruise or swell! She has a great touch. And, a week later, a friend complimented me saying how great my skin looked (she didn’t know I had anything done). I am thrilled.”
