Weak Chin
Weak Chin
A recessive jaw or weak chin can make you feel less confident about yourself. Severe cases can even lead to problems associated with eating, breathing, and speaking. A strong, sharp jawline is an attractive facial feature in both men and women since a well-structured chin gives a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing look to your face. It is to be noted that men and women have different sets of aesthetics when it comes to the shape of the jawline and chin. Women prefer a narrow, well-defined chin while men prefer a wider, well-sculpted jaw.
Causes
What kind of chin and jawline you have is largely decided by your genetic structure. However, receding chin can also be a result of certain congenital conditions like Pierre Robin sequence, Downs Syndrome, and Treacher Collins syndrome. It can also occur as a part of aging since, with age, we tend to lose a small amount of bone and soft tissue in and around the jawline. One can also develop this condition due to an injury or a damaged jaw.
Treatment Options
Dermal fillers are an effective solution for treating a weak chin. This non-invasive treatment option shows results almost instantly. Chin fillers with hyaluronic acid can give smooth and natural-looking results. At Curvz, we use premium-quality fillers whose effect can last for up to 24 months.
What are the benefits of weak, receding chin filler?
Dermal filler to the chin can help:
- Create a more defined chin and jawline
- Achieve a more balanced face
- Male clients can achieve a more masculine chin and jawline
- Can help to make your nose appear smaller
- Can make your lips look more in proportion
Dermal filler chin treatment can also improve jawline definition. By moving the chin forward the jawline is tightened which helps to make the jawline more visible and decreases the appearance of mild jowls.
Treatments for weak chin are becoming more and more popular. For both men and women, a strong and defined jawline is a highly desired feature. Offering better framing of the face, a more striking look and a thinner profile overall, there are many reasons why a tight and aesthetically pleasing appearance is preferred over a weaker jawline.
For men, an impressively angular, sharply bordered and recognisable surface is the goal; offering clear definition to the chin, jaw and everything in-between. For women whose jaw is a problem area, the desired effect is a soft but still defined end look, that provides more separation between the chin and the neck. Elegant, simple and instantly effective in just about any outfit.
Whether it’s due to lifestyle, genetics or even your weight, there are many reasons why you may struggle to reach the appearance you desire. Jowls are a common sign of ageing in those over 30 and combined with many other attributes, such as the characteristics of the skin and your lifestyle, your jaw could soon be looking far weaker than it has before.
Often defined as the ‘lower third’ of the face, maintaining beauty in the space below the nose through to the chin is just as valuable as reducing lines in the forehead, or improving the nose or eyes with various treatments.
So, what are the problems that can cause a weak jawline, and what are the solutions that tell you how to fix a weak chin? Read on to find out more about the causes of these issues, and some of the solutions available to improve your jawline and leave you feeling youthful in no time.
Creating Proportion
Often, those with a strong jawline can become fixated on the chin itself, without examining the surrounding features that contribute to the face as a whole. But to create proportion, both the jawline and its surrounding areas must be considered to achieve the best possible balance.
A proportionate chin is one that looks correct from all angles; without prominent recession or jutting from the side, known as retrognathia, and without appearing too large or small, known as micrognathia, when viewed in context with the whole face. Alongside the appearance from the front, taking a look at the profile is an essential step in creating that balance.
An example of this is with an individual that may have a weaker chin that is recessed, leading to the nose looking larger. An easy way to examine this is to take a closer look at the chin and upper lip, and the degree to which each protrudes. An equal distance is the ideal aesthetic choice.
For the creation of proportion in the face, fillers, may be the ideal choice. These offer the opportunity to temporarily re-balance the face to see how it appears in proportion. Because of their short downtime, they’re also highly convenient for clients with little time to spare.
Chin Fillers
The ideal choice for clients that want to get a feel for how their face may look, without the long-term commitment, fillers provide an accurate representation of augmentation without the surgical procedure. For those unsure of the results, or those who just don’t like the idea of surgery, this weak chin treatment alternative is quick, easy and effective.
For chin fillers, projection is required; which is why the filler used for this procedure is specifically designed to be thicker and last longer than traditional thinner filler options. This allows for further time between each filler appointment and will enable clients to really get a feel for how their face could look with more permanent options.
Jawline fillers can also be used to add definition to the angle of the jawline alongside fillers to the chin, leading to an overall sharper finish with a slim effect, that takes little time to achieve with excellent-quality results.
A Sharper Profile
For many clients, the need to know how to fix a weak jawline stems from the lack of definition they have between their lower cheek and neck. This physical effect is also known as jowls, resulting in individuals with previously stronger jawlines losing that definition over time as they age. What was once a sharp profile starts becoming softer and more ambiguous.
Jowls are an effect of gravity on the skin; with the fat pads, we naturally have within the face slowly losing their elasticity over time as a result of either ageing or losing a large amount of weight. For those struggling to come to terms with their new face, a facelift is often the first-recommended, and most permanent, option.
But beyond going under the knife, there is a range of options available to reduce the appearance of sagging skin and to help restore that sharper jawline.
Jowl Fillers
In the case of jowls, fillers can be used for their plumping effect, to smooth the area further and reduce the appearance of ageing. Unlike with chin fillers, jowl fillers have a higher level of fluidity, allowing them to create that overall smoothing effect rather than adding definition to a highly specific area.
The filler is injected into a small indent found in the front of each jowl, known as the pre-jowl sulcus. This location allows for the best possible effect, as an injection into the area above this indent has little to no effect due to its height
