The Best Injectable Fillers for Chin and Jawline Contouring
In short: A balanced and sharp chin can make your face look strong and defined. Also, it can improve your overall facial structure. However, not everyone is born with a sharp jawline, and factors like genetics and aging can lead to a less defined look, a weak chin, or sagging skin.
But, there is a solution: Dermal Fillers. These popular injectable treatments offer a robust, non-surgical solution for chin augmentation and jawline contouring. To help you understand your options, we’ve put together a guide to the best fillers for sculpting the chin and jawline.
How Do Filler Injections Work on the Chin & Jawline?
The primary purpose of this is to add volume and structure to the targeted area of your face, and in this case, the chin and jawline. The process is both an art and a science, requiring a deep understanding of facial anatomy.
An experienced injector will place the dermal filler along the jawbone to create a sharper angle, which reduces the appearance of jowls or a double chin. For the chin, filler can be used to add projection to a weak chin, improve its shape, and create better harmony with other facial features.
Some types of fillers also stimulate natural collagen production. This means that in addition to the immediate volume, the filler injections encourage your body to build its own structural support over time.
7 of the Best Injectable Dermal Filler Options
When it comes to structural contouring, you have to choose a treatment carefully. The chin and jawline require fillers that are firm enough to mimic bone and hold their shape. Here are seven of the top injectable fillers for jaw augmentation and chin enhancement.
1. Juvéderm Volux (Hyaluronic Acid Filler)
Juvéderm Volux is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler designed explicitly for jawline definition. It has firmness, making it the best product in the Juvéderm family. This allows it to provide the significant structure needed to sculpt a sharp jawline and a projected chin. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a noticeable yet natural-looking enhancement.
2. Juvéderm Voluma (Hyaluronic Acid)
Before Volux came along, Juvéderm Voluma was a primary choice for off-label chin and jawline improvement. It is also a thick, sturdy hyaluronic acid filler that is excellent for adding volume and lift. While it’s FDA-approved for cheek augmentation, its strong structural properties make it a reliable choice for chin augmentation.
3. Restylane Lyft (Hyaluronic Acid Filler)
Restylane Lyft is another powerful hyaluronic acid filler, as it can provide structure and lift to your face. Like Voluma, it is firm enough for deep injection to augment the chin and enhance the jawline. Restylane Lyft integrates well with the tissue to provide a natural-looking filler result that can correct a weak chin and improve facial contours.
4. Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxylapatite)
Radiesse is a different kind of dermal filler. It is made of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel. This naturally occurring substance provides immediate volume and structure after it’s injected into your skin.
More importantly: Radiesse acts as a biostimulator, which means it helps to stimulate natural collagen production. This dual-action approach not only provides instant results but also helps your skin build its own support system over time. Hence, it is a great option for long-lasting jawline contouring.
5. Restylane Defyne
While softer than Restylane Lyft, Restylane Defyne is another excellent option for the lower face. It is formulated with XpresHan Technology™, which allows it to move naturally with your facial expressions. This makes it a great choice to add subtle definition and support to the chin and jawline without looking stiff or unnatural. Plus, it can help smooth the transition from the chin to the jaw, creating a more harmonious profile.
6. Sculptra Aesthetic (Poly-L-Lactic Acid)
Instead of just filling, Sculptra stimulates your body’s own collagen production. It is made from poly-L-lactic acid, which kickstarts collagen synthesis over several months. While results are not immediate, it is still an ideal option for providing a gradual, natural volume and structure to the entire jawline area. But it requires a series of treatments, and the results can last for two years or more.
7. Fat Transfer (Autologous Fat Injections)
For those looking for the most natural option, a fat injection is a procedure where fat is harvested from another part of your body (like the abdomen), purified, and then injected into the chin and jawline. This avoids the use of synthetic substances. However, it is a more invasive procedure compared to a standard dermal filler treatment and involves more downtime. It is also a less predictable alternative to chin implants for surgical augmentation.
Conclusion
Dermal fillers offer a transformative and non-surgical way to achieve the strong chin and defined jawline you’ve always wanted. It’s possible to sculpt your lower face, improve facial balance, and restore a more youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
Choosing the best filler depends on your unique facial anatomy and goals. The key to a successful outcome is a thorough consultation with a skilled and experienced provider who can recommend the right dermal filler treatment plan for you.

Dr. Brantner and his staff were absolutely fantastic!!!!!! They made me feel soooooo comfortable before and after surgery. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to have a breast reduction.
Dr. Brantner is a highly skilled surgeon. I am so happy that I decided to go to him. After being in a car accident my nasal bones and surrounding bones had to be reconstructed. The first surgeon who worked on me did a terrible job and had zero bedside manner. That is when I sought out Dr. Branner, he not only did an amazing job fixing everything the first Doctor messed up, he also made it look better than it did originally. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
