Chin Filler in Charlotte

Chin filler is a type of injection that adds volume to the chin or jaw area. Chin fillers are popular with guests who would like to add more definition to their jaw or would like to improve the symmetry of their chins.

Chin fillers, injected into the jaw, add volume and enhance facial contour. The filler’s plumping effects are temporary, lasting between 12 and 18 months. The duration of the results depends on your own body’s metabolic rate, how fast it breaks down the filler.

A procedure for chin filler in Charlotte takes 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete. The amount of filler we use will determine the outcome.

You shouldn’t feel any pain during your chin filler treatments. We’ll numb your jaw beforehand; the filler also contains lidocaine for extra comfort.

You may need up to 24 hours of downtime after receiving a chin filler treatment. We recommend guests do not workout during this time.

The required amount of filler varies depending on your individual anatomy and specific needs.
