Sculpt weak jawlines and loss of chin projection and definition using dermal fillers. A chin which balances the rest of your features is an important part of balancing your profile. At Cosmetic Doctor, we advocate subtle, natural treatment results using pioneering brands to ensure you look the most confident version of yourself.
We use dermal fillers to restore lost volume, lift, and contour the face & lips. None of our patients want to look dramatically different, they just want to look like the best version of themselves.
Your profile is not as noticeable to you as it is to other people, as you only see yourself looking straight on in the mirror. Everybody else sees you for a variety of angles, and that’s where chin proportion becomes very evident.
Even people with good chin projection often lose it as time goes by, and the chin loses its structural support. Dermal Filler in the chin area will restore and enhance a beautiful profile.
Advanced techniques and products including Juvederm® and Restylane®, as well as Anti-Wrinkle Injections are used to contour and correct deficiencies in the chin area.
There are a variety of corrections that can be performed non-surgically using fillers. The depression in the area at each side of the chin and just below the jowl line, known as prejowl sulcus, is one such region.
The prejowl sulcus is a hollowing of the area on either side of the chin, which is further accentuated by the formation of jowls. It happens because of skeletal volume loss and facial atrophy with aging, or sometimes with rapid weight loss. As the facial features begin to sag, jowls form.
Advanced dermal fillers or liquid face lift products can be placed in the deep dermis, below the skin in the recessed area between the jowl and the chin. This gives a lovely smooth line back to the face, restoring a nice natural contour from cheek to chin. The jowls themselves can be lifted with dermal filler placed in the cheeks or along the jaw line; sometimes using a combination of products to optimise contouring and make the results last.
A “weak” chin can be hereditary, regardless of age occurs due to changes in the underlying bone. A weak chin can impact your whole face, so chin contouring can give very satisfactory results.
If the chin is very recessed, you may need mentoplasty (surgical chin augmentation). For many, the desired result can be achieved without surgery.
One method to subtly help the appearance of a weak chin is to use liquid face lift products such as Juvederm® on the areas of the cheek bones or sub malar (below the triangular fat pad) region, on the flat plane of the face.
This will add volume and gently lift the jowls up and away from the chin. Not only do the jowls become less prominent and less noticeable, but the chin appears to stand out more as a result.
You may also have thicker filler used directly on the chin area, rebuilding the prominence of the chin itself.
Some people feel their chin sticks out too much, and is out of proportion to the rest of their face. This is often hereditary, but may stem from muscle related issues.
In some cases, a similar procedure to correction of jowls may help to contour and balance the chin with the rest of the face for a more harmonious appearance.
If overdevelopment of the mentalis chin muscle is a contributing factor, then Muscle Relaxer Injections can be injected into the tip of the chin to decrease the forceful contraction of the muscle, which can soften and shrink the overdeveloped muscle, aiding in the reduction of the chin.
So happy with the results of my treatment. I had looked into every single clinic in Dublin that could provide a non-surgical rhinoplasty and I’m so glad I came across Dr Lisa Fay and put my trust on her to get this done. She was great and addressed my expectations from the beginning, talked me through the procedure very professionally and everything went accordingly. I would definitely recommend Dr Lisa to anyone who wants to get this done. Massive confidence boost! Thanks!
- Carol, Google PlusAs a hairdresser, I work in an image-focused profession and am looking at myself in a mirror all day long. Despite a healthy lifestyle, eating well and exercising and so on – I noticed I was looking tired all the time and felt that my face was letting me down and just not reflecting the woman I felt like inside! I went for a consultation with Dr Fay and she recommended treating me with some dermal fillers. With the treatment, I wanted to look like myself – just better and fresher – I didn’t want any drastic changes. Having now had the treatment, I feel ten years younger! I was treated just before a holiday, so when I came back, I got lots of comments from people saying that I looked amazing – but they couldn’t tell that I’d had anything done, which was just what I wanted. Even my husband didn’t notice any big changes- he just says I look better in myself! It’s great – I still feel like me, just the best version of myself
- Noelia, Google PlusI am so chuffed with my results, everyone I meet is saying things like ‘Oh my God, you are getting younger looking, though they can’t put their finger on what is different. The work is so clever and subtle yet I don’t have a single wrinkle. I don’t look as if I’ve been done! I just look better. Clinic staff are superb. Prices are typical however the quality of the work is excellent. Dr Fay is a fully trained medical doctor which gives you increased confidence should anything not go according to plan. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
- Barbara, Google PlusAs always, outstandingly professional and an extremely personable service. I would highly recommend Dr Lisa to anyone who is interested in a comprehensive friendly consult followed by a personalised and tailored treatment. You will be hard pressed finding a more competent specialist who has a genuine interest in her clients.
- Anthony, Google PlusWhat a wonderful experience!
I had a consultation with Lisa in January regarding dermal fillers, which was invaluable in helping me understand the process and what I could realistically achieve.
I booked a date and returned last week for my fillers to be done. Lisa was so helpful and I really felt in the hands of a professional. Initially I thought about being very conservative with the fillers, but I felt real trust in Lisa and asked about increasing the volume from the original plan. Lisa suggested a slight increase, with a chance to review the results before deciding together if more were really necessary. This was the perfect approach and throughout the entire process I felt very well looked after. I would class Lisa, not only as an exemplary cosmetic and medical expert, but something of an artist too, based on the way she applied the fillers around the specifics of my face and with my goals in mind.
I would strongly recommend Lisa and, proving the point, I will be back again for skin care advice and filler maintenance in the very near future. Finally, I must mention that not only am I delighted with my results, with Lisa’s help and advice, but also with all of the staff. Everyone I dealt with was polite, helpful and a joy to engage with. I won’t be looking anywhere else for skin care in the future!
- Julie, Google PlusHighly recommend. Lisa Fay is extremely honest and a consummate professional.

What causes Neck bands are usually due to the platysma muscle which with age separates resulting in vertical cords or bands appearing. Immediately under the skin of your neck is the platysma muscle which you can easily see in a mirror when you clench your teeth and tighten your jaw.
- Gillian, GooglePlusDr. Fay is professional and tailors your treatment to your needs whilst maintaining safety first. She is extremely attentive & I’ve never once been dissatisfied. I get Botox on my forehead & crows-feet to delay the ageing process. It honestly makes me feels so fabulous.
Contrary to old-fashioned beliefs, Botox in these areas does not change your face.
It simply eliminates lines and gives smoothness whilst delaying the process. It’s not just physical… it improves mood & gives so much confidence. After all, Beauty is both inside & out. She is extremely aware of Covid guidelines and you’ll be very safe in her clinic.
Her staff are so friendly.

I am absolutely delighted with the results my Botox from Lisa gives me. I have been attending her for years now. I’ll never go anywhere else. Love the Clinic and love how much younger I look and how this makes me feel in my life. Holding onto my looks makes me feel more confident and gives me more choices. In and out in a flash. Painless and easy. I highly recommend Cosmetic Doctor Lisa Fay. Delighted and have never gone anywhere else.
