Chin Volume Treatment

As individuals age, the chin undergoes various changes that can affect its appearance and structural integrity. One of the most noticeable effects of ageing on the chin is the loss of volume, which in turn leads to decreased skin elasticity and firmness. As a result, wrinkles, folds, and creases become more noticeable in the chin area. In addition, other age-related changes, such as bone resorption (in which bone tissue is broken down and absorbed by the body) and changes in facial fat distribution can also contribute to loss of volume and projection in the chin area.

Chin volume treatment, also known as chin fillers, is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that makes use of a substance that adds volume and symmetry to the chin area. These injectable substances can help address age-related changes in the chin by adding volume. They physically fill in wrinkles, lines, and creases in the skin, thus reducing their visibility. Moreover, they can fill in areas with lost volume to address chin asymmetry. In addition, they can also increase the forward projection of the chin.

Your Consultation at Nitai Clinic

During a consultation for chin volume treatment, the cosmetic physician conducts a thorough assessment of the patient’s suitability for the treatment. First, he or she will review the patient’s medical history to identify any underlying health conditions, allergies, or medications that may affect the outcome of the treatment. Next, a discussion of the patient’s aesthetic goals and expectations about the treatment as well as an evaluation of the patient’s facial anatomy, including the chin shape, symmetry, and proportions, will be conducted. Based on these detailed assessments, the cosmetic physician will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to the patient’s individual needs and goals.

How much does chin volume treatment cost in Melbourne?

The cost of the treatment can vary depending on several factors, such as:

The substance used: Chin treatment for volume loss may have varying costs based on their brand, composition, and longevity. The treatment may use a naturally occurring substance in the body or man-made substances that are not naturally found in the body.

Amount of substance needed: The amount of substance required to achieve the patient’s aesthetic goals can influence the total cost of the treatment. Patients requiring larger volumes of the substance to address their chin concerns may incur higher expenses compared to those needing less amount.

Practitioner’s fee: Cosmetic physicians and practitioners offering chin volume treatment may charge different professional fees. This fee will depend on factors such as experience, expertise, and reputation.

Location of the clinic or medical facility: The location of the clinic or medical practice can influence the costs associated with the treatment. Clinics situated in prime or upscale areas of Melbourne may have higher overhead costs, which can be reflected in their pricing for chin volume treatments.

Additional treatments or services: In addition to the treatment cost, patients may encounter additional expenses for various ancillary services provided by the clinic. Some clinics may charge for additional treatments or services such as consultation fees, anaesthesia, or post-treatment care.

Patients need to consult with a qualified cosmetic physician to discuss their aesthetic goals, assess candidacy for the treatment, and receive a personalised treatment plan with transparent pricing. By considering these factors, patients can make informed decisions about their treatment options and budget for the procedure.

Potential Risks and Complications

Like any cosmetic procedure, chin volume treatment carries potential risks and complications, such as:

Allergic reactions: Some individuals may be allergic to the substance used during the treatment, resulting in itching, redness, hives, or difficulty breathing.
Bruising and swelling: They can result from the injection process and usually resolve within a few days.
Granuloma formation: Granulomas, which are small, firm nodules formed by the body’s immune response to the injected substance, can develop at the site of injection.
Infection: Improper sterilisation techniques may cause microorganisms to enter the injection sites.
Migration or shifting: The injected substance may shift or migrate from its original placement, leading to asymmetry or uneven results.
Nodule formation: Small nodules or lumps may develop under the skin at the injection sites due to incorrect injection depth, placement, or volume.
Overfilling or underfilling: Incorrect injection technique or inadequate product placement can result in overfilling or underfilling of the chin area, leading to unsatisfactory results.
Pain and discomfort: The injection process can cause trauma to the skin and tissue, leading to pain and discomfort.
Vascular complications: Improper injection technique can damage the blood vessels and affect the blood supply, leading to tissue necrosis (death).

Frequently Asked Questions

Are chin volume treatment a surgical procedure?

The treatment is non-surgical and uses microneedles to administer a substance that adds volume to the chin area.

What does the injected substance do?

The injected substance adds volume to the chin area. They physically fill in wrinkles, lines, and creases in the skin to reduce their visibility. Moreover, they can also fill in chin areas with lost volume to address asymmetry. They can also increase the forward projection of the chin.

Are the results permanent?

With age, the proportions of the face change. Therefore, the effects of the treatment will gradually wear off. In addition, the body will absorb the injected substance over time, thus affecting the results. To address the age-related changes in the chin, patients may need to undergo additional treatment sessions as advised by the cosmetic physician.

How much substance is injected into the chin area?

The cosmetic doctor will first examine the patient’s chin to identify the appropriate dose. The amount of the substance injected into the chin area can vary depending on several factors, including the patient’s anatomy, desired aesthetic outcomes, and the injector’s assessment of the chin’s volume and contour. Some patients may require only a small amount of the substance to address their chin concerns, while others may need larger volumes to address a broader area.
