Profile

Chin filler, in short

How much chin filler does a V-line profile take, and what does it cost?

The short answer

Chin filler is hyaluronic acid gel placed deep over the bone of the chin to add projection, length or both, so the lower face reads longer and narrower from the front and better balanced from the side. No fixed amount applies: the doctor measures your profile, states the number of 1cc syringes, and the cost is that number multiplied by the listed rate of the gel chosen. Rewind publishes a filler duration of six to twelve months, varying with product and person.

The rates sit in the pricing section below. Rewind does not publish a standard chin volume, and this page does not invent one.

The V-line most people show as a reference photograph is partly an effect of length. A chin tip that comes slightly forward and down makes the jaw on each side look narrower without anything being removed. For that reason a small amount placed at the right point can change the front view as much as the profile.

It also has limits, and the most useful part of a chin consultation is often the part where those limits are spelled out before any money is spent.

Chin anatomy

What chin filler can change in the lower face

A chin is judged in three directions and one relationship. Each can be addressed on its own, and the written plan names which of them the gel is meant for. The chin appears on Rewind's filler menu as an area in its own right.

measure 01
Projection
How far the chin sits forward in profile, usually judged against a line dropped from the lower lip. A recessed chin makes the nose look larger and the neck line softer.
measure 02
Vertical length
The distance from the lower lip to the bottom of the chin. Length added at the tip is what narrows the front view toward a V shape.
measure 03
Width & taper
A broad, flat chin pad can be made to read narrower by concentrating volume at the centre and leaving the sides alone.
measure 04
Lip-to-chin balance
The groove under the lower lip and the way the chin sits when the lips close. A deep groove, or a chin that puckers when the lips meet, is noted before planning.
Bone

Structure first

How a chin filler plan is built, from bone outward

The chin is a structural area. The gel has to hold shape against gravity and against the pull of the chin muscle, so it is firmer than a lip gel and it is placed much deeper.

01Measure

Chin filler starts with the profile, not the syringe

Photographs are taken from the front and the side and the target position of the chin tip is marked. From that mark the doctor estimates volume in syringes and tells you the figure before anything is opened.

02Choose

A firmer gel for projection over bone

Rewind lists one domestic gel and two imported ones. For projection the choice favours a gel that keeps its form under pressure. The product is discussed with you, and a preference you arrive with is weighed against what the area demands.

03Place

Deep, central and clear of the nerves

Gel goes close to the bone at the centre of the chin, with the exits of the sensory nerves and the vessels at the sides kept in mind. Measurements comparing needles and cannulas at an arterial wall inform which instrument is used for which pass.

04Check

Chin position confirmed from the side

Before you leave, the chin is looked at in profile against the mark. Swelling in the chin tends to be less visible than in the lips, so the review that follows is mainly about symmetry and whether the length reached the target.

Why here

Why have chin filler planned by a plastic surgeon?

A chin is part of a skeleton. Deciding whether a soft-tissue answer is enough means reading the bone and the bite behind it, which is ordinary work for a surgeon with craniofacial training.

01Skeleton

The bone decides what chin filler can do

Dr. Choi is a member of the Korean Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association and has published in craniofacial surgery journals. A chin that is short because the jaw sits back is a different problem from a chin pad that lacks volume, and he tells you which one you have.

02Proportion

Chin, nose and lips are planned together

Adding projection changes how the nose and lips read in profile. The plan is drawn with all three in view, and sometimes the right amount is less than the photograph you brought suggests.

03Limits

A clear no is part of the consultation

When the examination shows that gel would only make the chin heavier without making the face longer, you hear that plainly and nothing is injected.

Rewind works by appointment on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00 to 19:00 and on Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00, and is closed on Thursday and Sunday. A chin appointment runs in a fixed order: examination, profile photographs, marking of the target point, agreement on the number of syringes, then the injection. Normal activity is possible when you leave.

If you have had chin filler before, bring whatever you know about it: the product, the volume and the date. Gel from an earlier session changes how much new volume the tissue will accept, and a gel that is not hyaluronic acid cannot be reversed with the enzyme.

Before & After

Chin filler cases at Rewind

No chin filler cases have been released by Rewind yet. The chin photographs in the clinic's archive come from surgical contouring, and they are left out here because they would show an operation under an injection heading. These frames stay empty until genuine chin filler cases are published.

Chin cases, when released, will each show a single Rewind patient, from the side as well as the front. Individual results may vary. Swelling, bruising, lumps, asymmetry and, rarely, vascular complications can follow chin injection. A consultation with the doctor comes before any decision.

Cost

Pricing

Chin filler price in Gangnam, Seoul, per cc

Chin filler costs what the gel costs: the per-syringe rate on the published list times the number of syringes agreed at examination. A profile change usually asks for more volume than a lip or an under-eye plan, so the gel you pick moves the total further here than in most other areas of the face.

Domestic HA filler, 1ccChaeum, the domestic gel on the list

₩500,000

Figures shown are list prices before VAT, and any anaesthetic fee is counted inside them. One rate applies whether a syringe goes to projection or to length. A plan that joins the chin with a second area is quoted after the examination.

Suitability

When chin filler is enough, and when surgery is the realistic answer

Chin filler usually suits

  • A chin pad that is slightly short or slightly recessed, with a normal bite
  • A front view that looks wide at the jaw, where extra length at the tip would narrow it
  • Someone who wants to see a longer profile before considering anything more lasting
  • Mild asymmetry of the chin pad

Where gel is not the answer

  • A jaw that sits well back, or a bite problem: the issue is skeletal, and gel adds bulk without moving bone
  • A large change in projection or length that would need more gel than the tissue can hold neatly
  • Width that comes from strong chewing muscles at the jaw angle, which a toxin treatment addresses and gel does not
  • Sagging along the jawline, where extra weight at the chin makes the drop more visible

When the examination points to bone, Dr. Choi explains that the change you want belongs to a surgical assessment and does not inject a chin that gel cannot fix. Filler remains available if you prefer a partial improvement and understand where it stops.

After

Aftercare

Chin filler aftercare and how long the shape holds

The chin is one of the steadier areas to inject. It moves less than the mouth, and gel resting on bone is under less daily strain. The first days still need care, because fresh gel can be pushed out of position by pressure.

Day 1
Hands off the chin
Avoid resting your chin on your hand, pressing the area or sleeping face-down. Strenuous exercise, alcohol and sauna are set aside for one day.
Days 2–3
Mild firmness
The chin can feel firm or a little tender. The written aftercare sheet keeps alcohol and smoking off the list for two to three days; a cold compress helps with any bruise.
Weeks 1–2
A settled profile
Bruising and swelling clear within one to two weeks, and the profile you will keep can be photographed against the first set.
Months 6–12
Slow absorption
The published range runs from six to twelve months. A low-movement area such as the chin generally holds toward the longer end; the review decides whether and when to top up.

Report straight away any pain that grows, skin on the chin or lip that turns pale, dusky or mottled, or a change in vision. Numbness of the lip or chin that does not fade also needs a call. Lumps, asymmetry, over-projection and gel drifting from the centre are the more common issues, and all of them are easier to handle when seen early.

Questions

Chin filler and the V-line: what patients ask

How many syringes of chin filler does a longer V-line profile need?
It depends on how far the chin tip has to move forward and down, and on how much the tissue can hold neatly. The doctor measures your profile and gives the number before anything is opened. Rewind does not publish a standard chin volume, and a small change can need less gel than people expect.
What will chin filler cost me at Rewind?
Take the listed 1cc rate for the gel chosen, multiply it by the syringes agreed at examination, then add VAT. The domestic gel carries the lower rate and the two imported gels a higher one; all three are printed in the pricing section of this page.
When is chin filler not enough, so that surgery is the realistic answer?
When the chin is short or set back because of the jaw itself, or when the bite is involved. Gel sits on top of bone and cannot move it, so a skeletal problem needs a surgical assessment. Dr. Choi says this at consultation and does not inject a chin that filler cannot correct.
How long does chin filler last?
The clinic states six to twelve months for hyaluronic acid filler, depending on the product and on you. The chin moves far less than the lips and the gel rests against bone, so it generally holds toward the longer end of that range. Any top-up is decided at review.
Will chin filler make my face look narrower from the front?
Often, when the width you notice comes from a short chin. Extra length at the tip draws the eye downward and makes the jaw on either side read slimmer. If the width comes from the chewing muscles or the bone at the jaw angle, chin volume will not narrow it.
Can too much chin filler look unnatural?
Yes. Over-projection gives a pointed or jutting chin in profile, and excess gel can widen the chin pad it was meant to refine. Starting conservatively and reviewing prevents it, and hyaluronic acid can be reduced with hyaluronidase if it has gone too far.
Is there downtime after chin filler?
You can return to normal activity the same day. Keep pressure off the chin and skip strenuous exercise, alcohol and sauna for the first day; alcohol and smoking stay out for two to three days. Mild bruising or tenderness clears within one to two weeks.
What are the risks of chin filler?
Bruising, swelling, tenderness, lumps, asymmetry and over-correction are the common problems. The serious one is vascular: gel compressing or entering a vessel, which shows as rising pain or pale, mottled skin and needs treatment at once. Numbness of the lip or chin that does not fade should also be reported.

Scientific evidence

Studies on filler complications and the molecule behind the gel

These references cover the causes and handling of dermal filler complications, laboratory measurements of how needles and cannulas behave at an arterial wall, and the biology of hyaluronic acid. They discuss filler as a class of treatment. They were not conducted at Rewind Plastic Surgery and cannot predict how much a particular chin will change.
