✅ What are chin fillers?

Chin fillers are non-surgical injectable treatments (typically hyaluronic-acid (HA) or sometimes calcium‐based) aimed at:

• Enhancing chin projection and improving the side/profile view
• Creating better facial balance between the lower face and mid-face
• Softening or filling chin recessions or dimpling
• Contouring the jawline area for a sharper, more defined lower face

Procedure is usually quick (20-30 minutes), minimal downtime.
Results can be seen immediately, often settle over the next week.

⚙️ Typical procedure & aftercare

• Consultation: assessment of chin shape, facial profile, volume needs, skin quality
• Injection: local numbing may be applied; filler placed at strategic points in the chin (and possibly jawline) using needle or cannula
• Aftercare: expect mild redness, swelling or bruising for 1-2 days. Avoid pressing the treated area, heavy exercise or extreme heat for 24-48hrs
• Results: immediate visible improvement; full effect after 1-2 weeks; maintenance required as filler degrades over time

💰 Typical cost range in Seoul

• Many clinics list chin augmentation (non-surgical filler) at around ₩350,000 to ₩600,000 per syringe in the lower-face region.
• Some sources show prices around ₩200,000 to ₩450,000 depending on brand/amount.
• Note: cost depends heavily on filler brand, number of syringes, injector experience, location (Gangnam area can be more expensive).
• Duration of effect often 9-12 months for many HA fillers, longer for thicker/longer-lasting types.

🧭 Who is a good candidate?

• Someone with a chin that lacks projection or appears retruded, wanting improved profile
• Someone seeking to refine lower face contour without surgery
• Someone in decent skin tone/quality (i.e., not extreme sagging or loose skin)
• Someone aware that this is not the same as surgical bone/chin implant or major skeletal change

🔍 What to check / ask before going ahead

• What brand of filler will be used (HA vs other material), how many mL/syringes will be used
• Injector’s experience with lower face/chin anatomy (since mistakes in this region may be more noticeable)
• Realistic expectations: improvement vs dramatic skeletal change
• How long the specific filler used typically lasts in the chin area
• Aftercare instructions and what to do if you’re unhappy with result (e.g., dissolving HA)
• Total cost including consultation, injection, any touch-ups
• Whether treatment plan was tailored (chin + jawline vs chin alone) and if additional treatments (e.g., skin tightening) might be recommended

📝 Final tip

If you’re planning a chin filler in Seoul:

• Choose a consultation first (even if remote) so the practitioner can assess your facial anatomy and give a tailored plan
• Ask to see before & after photos of prior chin filler cases (similar facial type)
• Be cautious about “too cheap” — lower cost might reflect less experienced injector, less premium filler, or hidden extras
• While the downtime is minimal, plan for a buffer (a few days) for any swelling before big events/photos
• If you have significant skin laxity or a major skeletal deficiency of the chin, discuss whether filler alone is sufficient or if surgical options might be considered
