A V-shaped face is a facial structure that many people desire, as it creates a softer, more defined, and dimensional look. However, since everyone’s facial structure is different, achieving a V-shape requires personalized treatment based on each individual’s concerns.
In this article, we’ll explore how people with a short chin and submental fat (double chin) can achieve a slimmer face using a popular combination treatment: Chin filler: and Fat-dissolving injections: What does each treatment do? Is one treatment enough? Or is combining both more effective? Let’s find out.
Why Chin Filler Alone May Not Be Enough for a Slim Face
Although chin filler can elongate the chin, it does not automatically create a slimmer face. In reality, a short chin is often accompanied by submental fat or a double chin, which is a key factor that makes the jawline look blurred and less defined.
Even if the chin becomes longer after filler, if fat under the chin remains, the lower face will still look unclear, and the result may not be complete. Therefore, both “adding” and “clearing” should be done together—adding chin filler to lengthen the facial structure, and clearing fat under the chin to make the V-shape more visible.
Next, we will explain both treatments and what each one does, and why combining them gives more noticeable results.
What Does Chin Filler Do?
Chin filler involves injecting Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a safe substance that the body is already familiar with, into the chin area to correct concerns about chin shape and help make the face look longer and slimmer. The advantage of chin filler is that it enhances the chin shape without surgery and requires no downtime.
What Types of Chin Should Get Filler?
- Short chin – Caused by limited chin volume, making the face look round and short with less dimension. Filler helps increase length and create a slimmer appearance.
- Blunt or square chin – The chin tip appears flat, making the face look strong or harsh. Filler helps create a more rounded and softer look.
- Asymmetrical chin Caused by an imbalanced chin structure, making the face uneven. Filler helps improve balance.
- Receding chin – The chin sits further back than normal when viewed from the side, making the lower face look short or unbalanced, and can make a double chin more noticeable.
After chin filler, the chin becomes more balanced, improving the overall facial appearance. The jawline looks more defined, and from the side view, the face appears more dimensional.
However, in some cases, if there is still fat under the chin, the jawline may remain unclear and the lower face may not look firm enough. Fat-dissolving injections can help enhance the result of chin filler by reducing excess fat under the chin, making the chin shape clearer, the jawline sharper, and the face appear smaller.
How Do Fat-Dissolving Injections Help Slim the Face?
Submental fat or a double chin is an area many people overlook, but it greatly affects the clarity of the jawline. Even if the facial structure is good or the chin is well-proportioned, fat in this area can make the face look less sharp and the jawline appear blurred.
Fat-dissolving injections involve injecting a fat-reducing substance under the skin in the submental area to boost fat metabolism and remove excess fat in that specific area without liposuction or surgery.
Benefits of Fat-Dissolving Injections
- Reduce fat accumulation under the chin, making the lower face more defined
- Enhance the chin shape, especially when combined with chin filler, making the chin more prominent and well-shaped
- Suitable for people who are slim but still have a double chin due to their facial structure
- No recovery time needed as it is a non-surgical procedure
At MEGA CLINIC, we use Lipo-S, developed by a team of medical professionals. It contains L-Carnitine and Centella Asiatica extract, which help improve fat breakdown efficiency, reduce burning and swelling, and are certified safe by the Thai FDA.
Who Is This Slim Face Formula Suitable For?
- People with a short, receding, or undefined chin who want to increase chin length and improve facial balance
- People with submental fat or a double chin that makes the jawline look blurred
- Those who have had chin filler but still feel their face looks round due to remaining fat under the chin
- Those who want a slimmer face without surgery or downtime, as both procedures are non-invasive and allow you to return to daily life immediately
How Many CC Are Needed?
Chin filler: Usually about 2 cc, depending on the original chin structure and desired results, as assessed by the doctor
Fat-dissolving injections: Around 4–8 injections per session, divided into 2–4 injections per side in the cheek and under-chin area
When Will You See Results?
Chin filler: Results are visible immediately after injection, with a longer and more defined chin
Fat-dissolving injections: The solution works within 7–14 days, with fat gradually reduced by about 10–15% depending on the original fat amount
What If You Have a Large Jaw (Masseter Muscle)?
For people with a wide face caused by large jaw muscles, chin filler and fat-dissolving injections may not be necessary at first. If you want a slimmer face, the doctor will recommend the following steps:
- Step 1: Jaw reduction with Jaw Botox to reduce the size of the face from the sides and soften angular features
- Step 2: Once the jaw becomes smaller, fat-dissolving injections can help enhance cheek definition
- Step 3: If the chin shape still does not support a slimmer look, chin filler can be used to add length and improve facial proportions
For those with a wide face due to large jaw muscles, starting with jaw reduction Botox is the most important step. After that, the doctor will evaluate whether fat-dissolving injections and chin filler are needed to further refine the face.
