CHIN INJECTION WITH HYALURONIC ACID IN PARIS

UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF THE CHIN IN FACIAL HARMONY

More than just a detail, the chin is a focal point: it reflects light and contributes to overall harmony. Placed at the midpoint, it is considered harmonious when it respects certain proportions From the front, it must be aligned with the upper two-thirds of the face; from the side, the ideal point lies in an imaginary line connecting the forehead, nose and lips (Ricketts line). If too small, too wide or set back, it can break this symmetry and alter the perception of character, giving the impression of a more prominent nose or a less defined neck.

ANATOMICAL APPROACH TO THE CHIN

The chin is a complex structure composed of :

• a bone base (the mandibular symphysis),
• a muscle tissue (DAO, DLI and mentalis),
• a fat pad,
• a skin covering.

Each of these elements plays a role in the projection and the chin shape.

AGEING AND FREQUENT ANOMALIES

With age, the lower face undergoes several transformations:

• bone loss of the mandible, giving an appearance of retrogenia (too far back),
• melting fatty tissue, which relaxes the area around the mouth,
• excessive contraction of the mentalis muscle, responsible for a horizontal wrinkle and crumpled appearance.
• the skin loosens, folds become more pronounced and support for the lower lip diminishes.

WHAT IS MEDICAL GENIOPLASTY?

The medical genioplasty is a aesthetic treatment by injecting micro-doses of hyaluronic acid to remodel the skin. chin. It differs from surgical genioplasty, heavy and definitive, with its simplicityhis reversibility and its comfort.

WHY HAVE CHIN INJECTIONS?

A chin can lack relief, appear too far forward or unbalance the entire face. Hyaluronic acid is used to restore lost volume and correct imperfections by acting on various points:

• projecting the chin too far back (retrogeny),
• reduce overhang (prognathia or curved chin),
• refine a marked width (mandibular hypertrophy),
• soften an excessively angular or rounded shape (chin dysmorphia),
• fill a dimple or hollow (mentalis muscle defect or labiomental depression),
• correct asymmetry (mandibular asymmetry),
• redefine contours with the jaw (lower third profiloplasty).

Over time, fat loss and sagging skin alter definition. Injections can then :

• restore the oval of the face,
• tighten the junction with the neck,
• smooth creases under the lip or irregularities on the chin
• deeply rehydrate the skin.

The expected result is a clean contour, a reshaped jawline and a visibly rejuvenated appearance, both from the front and from the side.
