A facial filler consultation can look beyond one feature to consider how the whole face sits together. In this patient example, concerns included looking tired and feeling unhappy with the side profile. The treatment plan used filler in several areas, with a particular focus on chin projection, then finished with a subtle lip refresh.
Key takeaways
- Facial fillers may be used to support balance across several areas, rather than adding volume in just one spot.
- In this example, the chin was a key focus because it appeared set back in profile.
- A personal consultation helps determine whether filler is suitable and what results are realistic.
- At Skiin, treatment discussions are guided by qualified practitioners and tailored to the individual.
Looking at the face as a whole
The patient’s main concerns were looking tired and not liking her side profile. During the consultation, the practitioner noted that her chin appeared recessed. The plan therefore considered how the chin, cheeks, temples, jawline and lips related to one another, rather than treating each area in isolation.
This kind of overall assessment can help guide a more balanced approach. The aim is not to change someone’s identity or simply add volume, but to discuss options that may support their natural features. At Skiin in Melbourne’s north-east, consultations are an opportunity to talk through your goals and receive advice suited to your face and circumstances.
Areas treated in this example
Dermal filler was placed in several areas to support the treatment plan:
- Chin: Added projection to address the appearance of a recessed chin and create a more tapered profile.
- Cheeks: Supported the cheek contours without aiming for an overfilled look.
- Temples: Treated as part of the broader facial balance plan.
- Jawline: Provided support along the lower face, with the intention of softening the appearance of sagging.
- Lips: Finished with a subtle refresh.
Filler placement and the amount used vary from person to person. The areas in this example should not be taken as a standard treatment plan or a promise of a particular result.
Why chin projection mattered
The practitioner identified chin projection as a key consideration when viewing the patient from the side. Adding support in this area can change the way the profile appears in relation to other features. In the video, the practitioner described the result as a feminine, tapered chin, alongside support to the cheeks and jawline.
A qualified practitioner can explain what filler may—and may not—achieve for your own profile. They should also discuss possible side effects, alternatives and whether treatment is appropriate for you. Results vary, and a consultation is important before deciding.
A measured approach to facial fillers
The treatment described in the video focuses on facial harmony rather than creating obvious volume. That distinction matters: a plan should reflect the person’s features and preferences, not follow a fixed template.
