Chin Shape & Proportion

At Eleventh Heaven Brisbane, chin care is doctor-led and personalised to your goals—whether you’d like a more balanced front and side profile, clearer jawline definition, or subtle overall refinement. Following a clinical assessment, we outline conservative, non-surgical options aimed at natural-looking results that complement your features. Plans, timelines and maintenance are tailored to you; experiences vary.

The position and shape of the chin can influence how we’re perceived by others in subtle ways. A well-proportioned chin often conveys a sense of balance and symmetry, qualities linked with confidence and approachability. For some, enhancing the chin’s position can help bring harmony to their facial features, allowing their natural character to shine through. Whether you’re aiming for a more defined look or a softer contour, a personalised chin treatment can help you project the traits that feel true to you. See the image below for reference:

The area between the lower lip and chin is considered one cosmetic unit so it is important to consider blending of treatment is likely, rather than just chin lengthening or projection. Furthermore, the chin cosmetic unit will have to blend smoothly with jawline.

Your comfort is our priority. To make your experience as smooth as possible, we can apply a prescription-strength topical anaesthetic about 10-15 minutes before your procedure. Most clients find the treatment very tolerable, and to ensure even greater comfort, the treatment itself contains an anaesthetic agent to keep you at ease throughout. We’re here to make sure you feel as relaxed as possible every step of the way.

Your comfort and safety are central to every step of our chin treatment process. Here’s what to expect:

1. Detailed consultation and contraindications screened.
2. Pre-procedure: Antiseptic wash.
3. Disinfection of the face again with Chlorhexidine and Ethanol.
4. Introduction of a dermal filling cannula.
5. Your tolerance and progress is monitored throughout.
6. You might be required to sit up or animate during the procedure multiple times throughout for aesthetic outcomes.

Our aim is to provide you with a seamless experience, guiding you at each step to ensure a smooth, effective, and beautifully tailored outcome.

Most patients experience minimal downtime after a chin treatment. Swelling is common and typically subsides within the first 48 hours. If there’s any lingering swelling or bruising after 24 hours, it can usually be covered easily with makeup, allowing you to get back to your routine confidently. Some slight tenderness may occur during the initial 48 hours, but this is normal and generally mild.

As with any medical procedure, chin treatments can have potential side effects, though most are mild, temporary, and resolve on their own. Here’s a breakdown of what to be aware of:

Common Side Effects

• Swelling: Typically mild and should subside within a few days.
• Bruising: Minor bruising may occur but generally fades quickly.
• Asymmetry: Some slight unevenness is possible and can often be adjusted with a follow-up treatment.
• Further Treatment: Occasionally, additional product may be needed to achieve your desired look.

Rare Side Effects

• Delayed Allergic Reaction: This can happen but is quite rare.
• Granuloma: Small lumps may form, but these are uncommon.
• Infection: While rare, we take extensive precautions to minimise this risk.

Very Rare, Serious Complications

• Vascular Occlusion: In very rare cases, a blood vessel may become blocked, which can lead to skin complications if not promptly addressed. Early treatment is crucial in such cases.
• Blindness: This is an extremely rare complication, but we believe in transparency and want you to be fully informed.

Our highly trained team takes every precaution to reduce risks and ensure your safety and comfort throughout the process. We’re always here to answer your questions and support you at every step.

Taking care of your skin after a chin filler treatment is essential to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible results. Please refer to our Pre- & Post Procedural Instructions page for our full recommendations:

1. Avoid Touching the Area: For the first 24 hours, try not to touch, rub, or apply pressure to your chin. This allows the filler to settle and reduces the risk of irritation or infection.
2. Skip Strenuous Activities: Vigorous exercise or any activity that raises your heart rate significantly should be avoided for 24-48 hours. This helps to minimise swelling and bruising.
3. Keep Your Skin Cool: Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and other heat exposure for at least 48 hours. Heat can increase swelling and discomfort.
4. Stay Upright: Try to keep your head elevated when resting or sleeping, especially during the first night. This can help minimise swelling.
5. Use Cold Compresses if Needed: If you experience swelling, a cold compress can provide relief. Apply gently and avoid direct ice contact on the skin.
6. Wait on Makeup: If possible, avoid makeup for the first 24 hours to reduce the risk of irritation.

Remember, mild tenderness or swelling is normal and should ease within a few days. If you have any concerns or experience unexpected symptoms, our team is always here to support you. We want your aftercare experience to be as comfortable and straightforward as possible.
