Chin Contouring with Dr. Zeinab Hedayat
A subtle approach to chin contouring, focused on profile balance, lower-face harmony, and natural facial proportions.
Specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery
Overview
What Is Chin Contouring?
Chin contouring uses injectable treatment, most commonly hyaluronic acid filler, to improve the projection, shape, and proportion of the chin in relation to the rest of the face. It is planned individually around your facial anatomy and profile.
Chin contouring is closely related to the Jawline Contouring treatment and uses the same dermal filler technology applied specifically to the chin.
Suitability
Who It May Be Suitable For
Chin contouring may be considered by patients seeking improved profile balance or a better relationship between the chin and jawline. Individual suitability, including facial anatomy and medical history, is always assessed during consultation with Dr. Hedayat.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will chin contouring look natural?
The goal is profile balance and natural facial proportions, not an exaggerated or overly projected result. Dr. Hedayat plans treatment around your existing anatomy for a natural-looking outcome.
How is chin contouring different from a dermal filler treatment elsewhere on the face?
Chin contouring uses the same hyaluronic acid filler technology as other dermal filler treatments, applied specifically to chin projection, length, and contour.
Can chin contouring improve my facial profile?
For patients with mild chin retrusion or an imbalance between the chin and jawline, chin contouring may help support a more harmonious profile. Suitability is assessed individually.
How long do results last?
Duration of effect varies between individuals and depends on the product used. This is discussed in detail during your consultation.
Is chin contouring painful?
Most patients experience only mild, brief discomfort during injection. A topical numbing cream can be used if needed.
