How long does hyaluronic acid injection in the chin last?
Disease description:
I am a 28-year-old woman who has recently become interested in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, particularly hyaluronic acid fillers for the chin. I've heard the results are good, but I would like to ask the doctor how long the effects of hyaluronic acid chin fillers typically last.

The duration of hyaluronic acid filler in the chin varies from person to person, typically lasting between 6 months to 1 year.
Hyaluronic acid chin augmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that improves the shape and contour of the chin by injecting hyaluronic acid. This treatment usually provides immediate results and has a short recovery period. However, the effects of hyaluronic acid are not permanent and will eventually be naturally absorbed by the body.
Individuals differ in their metabolic rates, which affects how quickly hyaluronic acid is absorbed and metabolized. People with faster metabolisms tend to break down and absorb hyaluronic acid more quickly, resulting in a shorter duration of the filler's effect. Conversely, those with slower metabolisms can maintain the filler's effects for a longer period.
In addition, lifestyle habits and post-treatment care can influence how long hyaluronic acid remains effective. Unhealthy habits such as frequent late nights, smoking, and alcohol consumption may accelerate the breakdown of hyaluronic acid, thereby shortening its effective duration in the chin area. Maintaining cleanliness and dryness at the injection site, avoiding strenuous exercise and massaging the area, can help prolong the duration of the hyaluronic acid filler.
