Treatment overview
* Individual results may vary.
Chin Enhancement
Chin Refinement is a non-surgical approach used to enhance the facial appearance by adding volume to a recessed or weak chin. As we age the jawbone gets smaller and we begin to lose fat around the mouth and chin. These gradual changes can cause marionette lines, jowls and wrinkling around the mouth. The procedure involves injecting dermal filler into precise areas of the chin in order to increase the length, width or projection of the chin. Dr Nicky has great experience in achieving natural restoration and rejuvenation in this area.
Treatment benefits
This non-surgical procedure leads to improvement in the patient’s profile bringing balance and rejuvenation to the facial features. It can be used to feminise the woman’s face through restoring smooth curves and masculinise the male profile through creating more defined lines.

What happens at the appointment?
Dr Nicky treats all her patients personally, starting with a detailed medical consultation to assess suitability and discussion covering desired results and expectations. Once the treatment has been agreed a cooling off period is offered so that the patient can have time to consider if the treatment is right for them. The injections are administered with the smallest needle available. Dr Nicky Naylor is so gentle in applying the injections that only some patients experience a small level of brief discomfort associated with having an injection. The overall treatment time is usually around 20-30 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a weak chin?
A weak chin is also referred to as a receding chin. It is small, short and slopes backwards. For men, this can contribute to a less masculine appearance. For woman, it can cause the nose to look disproportionally large and give the impression of being overweight.
When will the results of the treatment be noticeable?
Improvement in the chin shape and projection is immediately evident with results improving subtly over a month from treatment when Dr Nicky will offer you a review appointment. The aim of the treatment is to achieve facial harmony and natural results, not to distort or misshape the face. Dr Naylor’s experience and advanced insight into facial aesthetics ensures well balanced and proportionate results.
Are there any associated risks or side effects?
It is imperative to seek treatment from a medically qualified, experienced, aesthetic professional to reduce the risk of any complications. Dr Naylor has been delivering aesthetic treatments for over 15-years and her knowledge of anatomy is at the foundation of her skill, so putting you in good hands.
Bruising can occur and some swelling a day or so after. The chin can ache slightly for a few days but generally you can continue with normal daily life straight after the treatment without problem.
