Professional Chin Fillers in Edmonton
Chin fillers are a nonsurgical solution to enhance the shape and projection of your chin. By strategically injecting dermal fillers, our practitioners can add volume, correct asymmetries and refine your jawline, resulting in a more balanced and attractive facial profile. The procedure is quick and the results are immediate, making chin fillers a convenient option for people who want to improve their facial harmony without surgery.
What Are Chin Fillers?
Chin fillers are injectable gels—typically made from hyaluronic acid (HA), calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), poly‑L‑lactic acid (PLLA) or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)—used to reshape and augment the chin. They are a form of dermal filler that builds volume in the soft tissues of the chin, enhancing its projection and definition. Chin fillers can be tailored to address a receding chin, smooth a dimpled chin or create a stronger jawline, giving you a more proportionate appearance.
How Do Chin Fillers Work?
During the procedure, your provider cleans the area and applies a numbing agent. A fine needle or blunt cannula is then used to place small amounts of filler into the chin at different depths and angles. HA fillers like Juvederm Volux and Restylane Defyne provide immediate lift and volume and last around 9–12 months. CaHA fillers (such as Radiesse) add structure and stimulate collagen production, lasting about a year. PLLA (Sculptra) triggers your own collagen growth for gradual, longer‑lasting results, while PMMA (Bellafill) uses microspheres to build permanent support. The filler is carefully molded to achieve the desired shape and projection.
Chin Fillers vs. Other Options
Chin implants and fat grafting are surgical alternatives that offer permanent changes, but they involve incisions, anesthesia and longer recovery times. Chin fillers, by contrast, are minimally invasive, reversible and allow for incremental adjustments. They are an ideal option for patients who want to test how a more defined chin looks without committing to surgery or permanent implants. In some cases, chin fillers can also complement surgical procedures to fine‑tune the final contour.

What Can Chin Fillers Treat?
Chin fillers address several aesthetic concerns. They can build up a recessed or weak chin, improve facial symmetry, reduce the appearance of a deep mental crease, smooth dimples and correct minor asymmetries. By projecting the chin forward and refining the jawline, fillers can also make the neck appear longer and help minimize the look of a double chin. Chin fillers are suitable for both men and women who desire a more defined lower face without surgery.
The Chin Filler Procedure at Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre
Your experience begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your facial structure and aesthetic goals. On treatment day, we cleanse your skin and apply a topical anesthetic. Using a cannula or needle, the provider injects the chosen filler into precise locations on your chin and sometimes along the jawline. We continuously evaluate symmetry and sculpt the filler for a natural result. After the procedure, we provide ice packs and aftercare instructions. You can return to normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise or pressure on the chin for at least 24 hours.
Chin Filler Before & After Results
Before and after photographs show how chin fillers can enhance projection, refine the jawline and create a balanced profile. While you will notice changes immediately, final results become apparent once swelling subsides—usually within one to two weeks.
Aftercare Tips
To ensure a smooth recovery and prolong your results, avoid touching, massaging or applying pressure to the treated area for 24–48 hours. Sleep with your head elevated and try not to sleep face down. Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and refrain from intense exercise, saunas or hot tubs for at least one day. Avoid alcohol and blood‑thinning medications before and after treatment to minimize bruising. Keep the area clean and avoid applying makeup until the following day.
Side Effects and Downtime
The most common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness and tenderness. These usually resolve within a few days. Rare but serious complications—such as infection, allergic reactions or filler migration—are minimized when you choose an experienced injector and follow aftercare instructions. Contact us if you experience persistent pain, severe swelling or other concerning symptoms.
