Chin filler treatments, while generally safe, do carry potential side effects, risks, and complications.
Common immediate side effects include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days. Less common but more serious risks include allergic reactions to the filler material, infection, and vascular occlusion — where the filler blocks a blood vessel.
Improperly administered fillers can also lead to asymmetry, lumps, or the Tyndall effect, a bluish skin discoloration that can occur if the filler is injected too superficially. More severe complications, though rare, can involve nerve damage or longer-lasting swelling.
Choosing an experienced injector and following all pre- and post-treatment instructions provided by your clinic to minimize these risks is crucial.
