A chin that is too small, receding, or soft can throw the entire facial architecture out of balance. It lacks tension, character, or definition – both in the frontal view and in profile. Often, the face shape appears rounder, the jawline softer, and the overall presence less prominent.

With a targeted chin augmentation at BONITAS, you can visually strengthen, harmonize, and refine your lower face – completely without surgery. For a face that matches your inner strength.

At a glance: The chin augmentation with hyaluronic acid filler corrects a receding chin and defines the lower third of the face without surgery.

What is Chin Augmentation?

Chin augmentation involves building or modeling volume in the chin area using hyaluronic acid or structural fillers. This allows for:

The result: harmony between forehead, nose, and chin – the so-called “Facial Golden Ratio”.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

The cost of chin augmentation depends on the volume used, the filler applied (e.g., premium hyaluronic acid), and the effort involved. Quality – such as sterile application, high-quality materials, and the practitioner’s experience – is crucial. At BONITAS, we clearly differentiate ourselves from low-cost providers in this regard. For a general overview, you can find our current price list here.

Chin augmentation sculpts the profile, gives the face more balance, and creates a harmonious appearance. Through targeted volume application, the chin line can be defined, a weak or receding chin can be corrected, and the entire face can appear visually firmer. A subtly placed augmentation looks natural and balanced.

Chin augmentation is usually performed under local anesthesia – for example, with a pain-relieving cream or a local anesthetic in the filler. Most patients only experience a slight pressure sensation during the treatment. Minor swelling is possible shortly after the injection, but it usually subsides quickly.

The effect of hyaluronic chin augmentation is generally visible for six to twelve months. Duration and stability depend on the product used, metabolism, and individual facial expressions. With appropriate follow-up treatment, the result can be maintained long-term – an individual recommendation will be provided during the consultation.
