Will hyaluronic acid filler injection in the chin area cause swelling?
Hyaluronic acid filler for the chin mainly involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the chin to improve its contour, making it appear fuller and more defined. The general reference price for hyaluronic acid chin filler is 3,000–7,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically noticeable after 1–3 months. Swelling may occur after hyaluronic acid chin filler, but it is generally mild and can subside and disappear within a short period.
During the hyaluronic acid filling process, the chin must be injected with the filler through a needle. This invasive procedure can cause some irritation to the chin tissue, potentially leading to swelling. Usually, swelling is more noticeable within the first 1–2 days after injection, which is a normal physiological stress response of the body. Most people experience mild to moderate swelling in the chin area after the filler injection, making the chin appear slightly wider and thicker than usual.
The degree and duration of swelling vary from person to person. Individuals with sensitive constitutions may experience more severe swelling that lasts longer. Those with stronger constitutions and better recovery abilities may see a significant reduction in swelling within 1–3 days. Under normal circumstances, most people experience basic resolution of swelling around 7 days post-procedure, with the chin returning to a relatively natural appearance, although full recovery and stabilization may take 10–14 days.
In daily life, it is recommended to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the chin area, follow a light diet, and maintain a healthy lifestyle, all of which can aid in recovery after filler injection.
