Chin correction with fillers

A receding or short chin can throw the entire profile off balance. The proportion between the nose, lips, chin, and jawline largely determines how harmonious a face looks. This proportion can be restored with fillers in the right places in the chin. The result is a more proportionate profile with a clearer jawline, without the need for surgery. During a personal consultation, our doctors assess whether a chin correction with fillers is suitable for your face and wishes.

What is a chin correction with fillers?

In a chin correction with fillers, hyaluronic acid is injected into specific areas of the chin to adjust the projection or length of the chin. The treatment is intended for people with a recessed chin, a short chin, or asymmetry in the chin point. The fillers give the chin more shape in areas where volume or definition is lacking. The result is a more natural and proportionate profile.


A chin correction with fillers can be used for:

  • Lengthening a short chin
  • Bringing a tucked-in chin forward
  • Accentuating the transition between chin and jawline
  • Restoring a symmetrical chin point


  • How does the treatment work

    Our doctors use premium-quality hyaluronic acid fillers suitable for the firmness and projection desired in the chin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that adds volume and hydrates the skin. By strategically placing the filler on the chin point and along the chin rim, a natural enhancement of the chin contour is achieved. The effect is immediately visible and becomes more apparent in the days following the treatment as the swelling subsides.


    The fillers work on two axes simultaneously. On the one hand, they provide forward projection, making the chin more prominent in the profile. On the other hand, they can vertically lengthen the chin, bringing the proportion between the lower and upper halves of the face into better balance.

    When is a chin correction desirable?

    A chin that is in proportion to the nose, lips, and jawline contributes significantly to a harmonious face. When the chin is underdeveloped or set back, this can throw the profile out of balance. In such cases, a chin correction with fillers can restore the face's proportions.


    The treatment focuses primarily on:

  • Giving more projection to a retracted or tucked-in chin
  • Lengthen a short chin
  • Make the chin point symmetrical
  • Give the jawline extra definition via the chin-jaw transition
  • The treatment step by step

  • A chin correction is a minimally invasive treatment performed on an outpatient basis.
  • A personal consultation with the doctor beforehand
  • Treatment duration of approximately 30 minutes
  • Small injections at predetermined locations
  • Immediate resumption of daily activities
  • The result is immediately visible and stabilizes within one to two weeks

  • The treatment plan is tailored to your facial structure and wishes.

    Results and shelf life

    The results are immediately visible after the treatment, with further refinement as swelling subsides. The durability of hyaluronic acid fillers in the chin is twelve to eighteen months on average, depending on the product used, your metabolism, and lifestyle. To maintain the effect, some of our clients opt for periodic maintenance treatments. Results vary from person to person, and the consultation determines the final expectations.

    Recovery and aftercare

    After a chin correction, there may be slight swelling, tenderness, or small bruises in the treated area. These side effects are usually temporary and disappear within a few days. You will receive clear aftercare instructions after the treatment. The recovery time is generally minimal, and most people can resume their normal daily activities immediately.

    Who is a chin correction suitable for?

  • A chin correction with fillers is suitable for people who:
  • experience a sunken or short chin in profile
  • desire a more proportionate face without surgery
  • value realistic, natural results
  • want to improve their facial proportions while maintaining their own appearance

  • The treatment is less suitable in cases of certain medical conditions, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or unrealistic expectations. Final suitability is always determined during a consultation with the doctor.

    Costs and considerations

    A chin correction with fillers at Cosmopolitan Clinic Amsterdam starts from €450 per treatment. The final cost depends on the amount of filler required to achieve the desired result and your individual treatment plan. Transparency and customization are central to this. During the consultation, we discuss in advance which treatment plan suits you best and what the corresponding price is.
