Balsan Dermatology Chin Filler: The Director Explains It From Start to Finish

Design and safety,

the results change depending on how much you know

Hello.

I’m Beauty’s Doctor, Wi Youngjin.

Many people at Balsan Dermatology have been asking about chin filler,

so I’ve put everything together one by one myself.

✅ 1. What is the most important anatomical safety point in chin filler?

The most important thing in filler treatment is

making sure the filler does not enter a blood vessel.

If it is injected into a blood vessel, it can block blood flow

and lead to skin necrosis or serious

complications.

One factor that increases this risk is

an inexperienced practitioner and

the use of a needle.

Just as the basic principle of all surgical procedures is

to avoid injuring blood vessels and nerves,

that is exactly why filler also needs to be performed by an experienced practitioner

who understands the anatomical structure of the face accurately.

For the chin area in particular, we recommend using a cannula rather than a needle.

This is because a cannula has a blunt tip, so the risk of piercing a blood vessel is much lower.

For safety, Balsan Dermatology performs the procedure with a cannula as the standard approach. ✅ 2. Does the design change depending on the filler product?

Yes, the results vary depending on the firmness (viscosity) of the filler.

The firmer the filler, the more effect it has in deeper layers closer to the bone,

and the softer the filler,

it is more suitable for shallower layers such as subcutaneous fat.

If you want a more defined chin shape, a firmer filler can be used to precisely create the desired contour.

On the other hand, if the patient is older or the goal is to restore lost volume,

a slightly softer filler produces a more natural result.

The choice of product determines the design, so

selecting the right product is just as important as the procedure itself. ✅ 3. How is the depth of filler injection determined?

In general, it is injected into the subcutaneous fat layer above the muscle.

This is the basic layer that produces the most natural

and safe result.

However, depending on the desired shape or effect,

it is sometimes placed in a deeper layer under the muscle.

Because the volume and shape change depending on the injection depth,

the target is clearly defined before treatment and the depth is decided accordingly. ✅ 4. Is the Ricketts line the reference point for chin filler?

If I had to choose one standard,

it would be the Ricketts line.

The Ricketts line is the line connecting the tip of the nose and the chin tip,

and it is known that having the lips within this line

creates an ideal side-profile proportion.

However, this standard is not absolute.

Even if it does not fit the Ricketts line exactly,

there may be a contour that suits that person better.

In the end, the reference line is only a guideline, and

applying it flexibly according to the individual’s facial structure and desired outcome

leads to better results. ✅ 5. How is the filler amount determined?

Rather than skin condition,

two things are the 기준.

First, how much volume loss there currently is,

second, how much you want the chin to be extended downward

and projected forward.

Even with the same face, the required amount differs depending on whether you want a natural improvement

or a more noticeable change,

so during consultation at Balsan Dermatology, we discuss your goals

in detail. ✅ 6. What type of filler is mainly used for chin filler?

It varies depending on the area.

For areas that need shape, such as the center of the chin,

a firm filler is used to create the desired form,

and for areas such as the hollow sides of the chin,

where volume needs to be filled in naturally,

a softer filler is used.

Rather than filling the entire area with one type of filler, choosing the right product for each area

produces a more natural and satisfying result.

✅ 7. How does suitability for the chin differ by filler type?

Broadly, it can be divided into firm fillers and

soft fillers.

Firm fillers have strong shape-retaining ability,

so they are suitable when you want to create a distinct jawline.

Soft fillers blend naturally with the surrounding tissue,

making them good for enhancing volume or filling in sunken areas.

The important point is that the appropriate product changes depending on

how clearly you want to change the shape and what the current volume status is. ✅ 8. Can chin filler affect the bone structure or tissue in the long term?

The filler may compress the surrounding tissue slightly.

However, as time passes,

the surrounding tissues adapt,

so it is generally rare for it to have a negative effect on the bone structure or soft tissue.

Rather, as appropriate volume is added,

the surrounding tissue often settles more naturally.

✅ 9. Does chin filler design differ by gender?

Yes, we definitely take a different approach.

For men, we create a slightly more

angular and flatter chin to bring out a strong, defined impression,

and for women, we create a slightly rounder or

softly pointed shape

to achieve a slimmer, more refined look.

Even for the same procedure,

at Balsan Dermatology the design direction changes completely depending on gender and each person’s facial structure. ✅ 10. Does chin filler create a more three-dimensional appearance?

Yes, it is one of the most effective procedures.

As the chin comes forward and extends downward,

the side profile becomes more balanced

and the lower part of the face gains clear dimension from the front as well.

The effect is especially noticeable in people with a short or recessed chin.

✅ 11. Is it effective for a woman in her 60s with a protruding mouth?

In fact, in cases like this,

it is a very useful procedure.

One reason the mouth appears protruded is that the chin is relatively recessed.

If Balsan Dermatology chin filler is used to bring the chin slightly forward,

there is a visual effect that makes the mouth look less protruded.

As the overall facial proportions are naturally balanced,

many people experience a change to a younger and more refined impression.

Chin filler is a small procedure,

but it is an effective way to change the overall impression of the face.

The result changes completely depending on

what product is used, at what depth,

and how much is injected,

so the practitioner must have both anatomical understanding

and aesthetic sensibility.
