Before And After Chin Projection Case 1195

ABOUT OUR PATIENT

A strong, defined chin–for both men and women–can do wonders in balancing out facial proportions and giving a youthful, healthy look. As an added bonus, extra chin projection can sometimes pull neck fullness taut and give the appearance of a slimmer neck.

This woman in her 50s was finding that her lack of chin projection was contributing to an older appearance, so she came to MFI looking for an easy, non-surgical solution.

MFI TREATMENT PLAN

Dr. Mabrie recognized a two-fold issue: first of which being a lack of forward chin projection, and the second being an overactive mentalis muscle that scrunches up the chin involuntarily. Treatment for this patient involved injecting dermal fillers into the chin to bring it down and forward. To keep results looking natural, fillers were placed in layers over multiple appointments instead of all at once. Additionally, BOTOX was administered to the chin muscle to relax it and further help with chin projection. 

THE OUTCOME

The photos speak for themselves! Our patient was overjoyed at her gorgeous new chin. Not only did the added projection perfectly balance out her face, but it also hid her neck fullness to make her look slimmer and sleeker. The BOTOX relaxed her chin muscles and smoothed out the chin overall. To maintain these amazing results, the patient only needs to come back about once a year.
