A strong chin is key to the overall facial structure, providing strength and definition both from the front and side profile.
However, not everybody is born with a strong chin and many women and men feel self-conscious about the impact this has on their overall look.
When the chin is weak or recessive, it can affect the balance and harmony of the entire face in a number of different ways:
- General lack of definition to the structure of the face
- Accentuating other features e.g. nose, ears, cheeks
- Creating a ‘double chin’ as there is insufficient projection between mouth and neck
Advanced dermal filler products and techniques offer a new opportunity for those looking to improve their profile. Minimal amounts of product are required, yet with careful and precise injecting, the results can be quite significant. The objective is not to overexaggerate any features, but just to redress any imbalances. This subtle augmentation using dermal fillers is a simple yet highly effective way of adding the volume you wish you’d been born with.
Dr John Quinn explains:
“Treating weak or recessive chins can make the whole jawline look stronger, give support to the lower lip region, and even disguise a double chin (to an extent).
“When treating a face, I aim to copy the tissue and bone of my patients, not to disguise or misshape what is genetic to them.”
Dr John Quinn
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers such as, in this case, Juvederm Voluma, typically last 1-2 years.
John continues:
“Dermal filler doesn’t have to be dramatic – and nor should it. It shouldn’t make you look like a different person when done correctly.
“It’s just you – fresher and more balanced.
“Our techniques and approach to using HA facial fillers have improved and my techniques now are totally different to when I started treating, 17 years ago.”

BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS
Quinn Clinics has revealed stunning ‘before and after’ photos, showing the dramatic results achieved with a chin augmentation. This was achieved with just 3ml (around half a teaspoon) to project and reshape the chin.
Results show:
- Gently defined chin profile
- Improvements to the whole balance of the face. Patients often find that they look slimmer too.
