Quick answer
Chin and jawline contouring is done with hyaluronic acid fillers, which give the chin projection and define the jawline. When there is a double chin, I combine fat reduction techniques for the area with the filler. It is indicated for people who feel their chin is weak, have lost their facial contour or are bothered by their profile. The filler result is temporary, and in studies the improvement was still present 12 months after the application.
The truth is that a double chin and a weak chin are the concern of many people who come to the clinic. They often show up together, which is why I assess your face from the front and in profile before deciding what to treat. Contour, to me, is what makes the face look more supported and anchored in profile.
On the chin and jawline, I use hyaluronic acid fillers to give projection and draw the contour. For the double chin, the path is different: when there is fat in the area, I combine fat reduction techniques with the filler. Which technique goes into your case depends on what I find at the consultation, because a double chin made of fat and a double chin made of loose skin are not treated the same way.
That result can be immediate or built over time. In some cases, one session already changes the profile, and in others I prefer to treat in stages. The point, to me, is not how many ml go in, but the proportion of your face. If what you have is a large excess of skin, I tell you clearly that the indication is surgical and refer you.

After chin and jawline filler, swelling, bruising, tenderness, a feeling of firmness at the site and some temporary asymmetry are common. With fat reduction techniques for the double chin, swelling, pain, numbness and small nodules in the area are also expected, and aftercare changes depending on the technique indicated. There are rare complications, including vascular ones, that need to be recognized and treated promptly, which is why the procedures must be performed by a qualified practitioner with knowledge of anatomy. Let me know beforehand about pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergies, medical conditions and any medication you take regularly. Results vary from person to person, and the indication comes out of the consultation.
It depends on what is causing your double chin. Projecting the chin and defining the jawline improves the profile, but when there is fat in the area, filler alone does not solve it. In those cases, I combine fat reduction techniques with the filler. When what is left is skin, with a lot of laxity, the indication may be surgical, and then I refer you.
The result is temporary, because hyaluronic acid is gradually absorbed by the body. In clinical studies, the improvement of the chin and jawline was still present 12 months after the application. The time varies with the product, the amount and each person.
With filler, the change in contour shows right after the application, and the swelling of the first few days still has to go down. Reducing the double chin depends on the technique, and is often built over time. That process can be immediate or done in stages, and I explain what to expect in your case.
The price depends on the plan, which comes out of the consultation. It changes depending on the areas treated and the techniques I will combine in your case.
