Chin Filler for a Receding Chin: Natural Before & After Results

This post was written in accordance with the Medical Service Act and was created by a medical institution operated by a board-certified dermatologist at Hev Clinic, with the consent of the patient who received treatment.
It is not intended to emphasize treatment effects or personal treatment experiences, but rather to provide general information about dermatology and aesthetic procedures.
The photos used in this post meet the following conditions:

  • The same individual appears in both the before and after photos.
  • The dates when the photos were taken before and after treatment are specified.
  • The photos were taken under the same conditions.

This post provides various medical information, including possible side effects that may occur from the procedure. In accordance with Article 56, Paragraph 2, Subparagraph 7 of the Medical Service Act, diagnoses and treatment results may vary depending on the individual, and both effects and side effects may differ from person to person.
※ This article was written directly by the director of Hev Clinic for the purpose of providing information about dermatologic and aesthetic procedures.

Do you ever feel like your mouth looks a bit protruded in photos—so you end up pressing your lips together to “hide” your profile? If your face looks fine from the front but you feel self-conscious from the side, you’re not alone.

Important: Results vary by individual. Please consult thoroughly before treatment about possible side effects such as pigmentation, bruising, and swelling.

Why a Receding Chin Can Change Your Side Profile

A small or narrow chin can give a cute, youthful look. But when the chin sits slightly back (often called a receding chin), it may also make the lower face look rounder and less defined—especially in side-profile photos. In some cases, improving chin projection can also make the mouth area look more balanced.

Below, we’re sharing two real cases:

  • Male case: 1cc chin filler for a receding chin
  • Female case: 1cc chin filler following today’s trend for a cleaner, more elegant chin line

Case 1 (Male): Chin Filler for a Receding Chin

  • Man in his 40s
  • 1cc chin filler

With 1cc of chin filler at our Pungmu, Gimpo dermatology clinic, the lower face line looks cleaner and more defined, helping the overall profile appear more balanced.

Case 2 (Female): Chin Filler for a Slimmer, More Elegant Chin Line

  • Woman in her 30s
  • 1cc chin filler for a receding chin

With just 1cc of chin filler, many patients can achieve a more refined, feminine impression. Depending on your facial structure, enhancing the chin may also help the mouth area look less prominent in profile.

Chin Filler Is All About Balance (and a Natural Design)

Filler results can vary a lot depending on the practitioner’s sense of balance and design. Even with the same amount of filler, the final look can feel very different.

  • Some people want a more defined, contoured look.
  • Others prefer a subtle change that still looks “like me.”
  • And some want results that are barely noticeable—but feel more confident in photos.

Our goal is to keep results balanced, natural-looking, and safe—never excessive—so you can feel good about your decision not just today, but in the future as well.

Thank you.
