Chin filler is performed under local anaesthetic or topical numbing and usually takes 20 to 40 minutes. Common short-term effects are swelling, bruising and tenderness. These usually improve within seven to 14 days. Serious complications are rare but include infection, vascular occlusion and prolonged asymmetry; prompt clinic review reduces risk and improves outcomes [1].
Choosing a regulated clinic and qualified injector is the best safeguard. We follow clear consent, product-traceability and aftercare protocols and provide a review appointment within two weeks. If you notice severe pain, rapid swelling or changes in vision, seek immediate medical attention and contact the clinic.
