Hello.
I am Dr. Hyuk-chan Jo, Director of Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch.
Have you ever felt that your face looks large from the front and your chin line looks short from the side, making your facial balance feel incomplete?
"Every time I look at my profile in the mirror, my chin looks short, making my face look chubby.
I looked into chin fillers, but I also have a pebbled chin, so I'm worried that adding filler will make the bumps even more noticeable.
I'm wondering if there is a way to solve both problems at once."
I frequently encounter such inquiries in the consultation room.
The chin is an important area that determines the impression of both the front and side profile of the face.
If chin volume is insufficient, the face looks wide and short, and if the mentalis muscle (pebbled chin) is also developed, the chin becomes bumpy, leaving the lower face looking unrefined no matter how well you apply makeup.
The approach to solving these two problems at once is the Uijeongbu chin filler, which is performed together with pebbled chin Botox.
Today, I will explain how the chin affects your facial impression, why the combination of chin filler and pebbled chin Botox is synergistic, and what situations it is suitable for.
What is Uijeongbu chin filler?
👉 Uijeongbu chin filler is a combination procedure that precisely injects hyaluronic acid filler into the chin area to restore volume and lines, while simultaneously using pebbled chin Botox to relax the mentalis muscle, completing a smooth chin and a refined V-line.
Chin filler is not just a procedure to fill volume in the front of the chin.
It is a procedure precisely designed according to the overall facial proportions, considering chin length, side profile E-line, front lower face balance, and the connection to the neck line.
At the Uijeongbu branch, pebbled chin Botox is included as a basic component when performing chin filler procedures.
The filler works to fill the volume, and the pebbled chin Botox works to relax the overactive chin muscles, creating a combination that results in a smooth and natural chin line.
The influence of the chin on facial impression
👉 The chin is an important area that determines the overall facial impression in four ways: front lower face balance, side profile E-line, facial length ratio, and neck line connection.
Front lower face balance
When viewed from the front, if chin volume is insufficient, the lower face looks short and wide.
A natural downward extension of the chin creates a longer and slimmer impression, while a short chin causes the face to look square or round.
Side profile E-line
The line connecting the tip of the nose and the tip of the chin when viewed from the side is called the E-line.
A natural connection between these two points is considered a balanced profile, but if the chin is recessed or lacks volume, the E-line collapses, leaving an impression where the nose is overly emphasized in the profile.
Facial length ratio
A natural face has a balanced ratio divided into three parts: forehead, mid-face, and lower face.
If the chin is short, the lower face ratio decreases, making the entire face look short and chubby, whereas filling the chin volume naturally lengthens the lower face, making the face look slimmer.
Neck line connection
The chin is the point where the face and neck meet.
If the chin is recessed, the boundary between the face and neck becomes blurred, which can look like a double chin, but when chin volume is restored, the face and neck lines are clearly distinguished, and the neck line itself takes on a more refined appearance.
Synergy of the chin filler and pebbled chin Botox combination
👉 Chin filler works to restore volume and lines, while pebbled chin Botox works to relax the overactive mentalis muscle; performing both procedures together is a synergistic combination that completes a smooth chin line.
Limitations of filler-only procedures
If you only get chin filler, volume is restored, but if you have pebbled chin muscles, the bumpy surface remains.
In fact, as the volume is filled, the activity of the pebbled chin muscles may become more noticeable, which can lead to a result where the surface is not smooth.
Limitations of pebbled chin Botox-only procedures
If you only get pebbled chin Botox, the bumpy surface is smoothed out, but the short chin or recessed chin itself is not improved.
It is an approach that is difficult to address for facial balance or side profile lines.
Approach of the combination procedure
It is a method of restoring volume and lines with chin filler while relaxing the mentalis muscle activity with pebbled chin Botox.
Muscle relaxation occurs in the area where the filler is filled, resulting in a smooth and natural chin line.
Cause of pebbled chin - Mentalis overactivity
A pebbled chin appears when the mentalis muscle located under the chin becomes overactive.
When the mentalis muscle contracts strongly while talking or closing the mouth, the surface becomes bumpy, and as this state repeats, it becomes a condition where the pebbled chin remains even unconsciously.
Pebbled chin Botox regulates this muscle activity to restore a smooth surface.
Facial conditions suitable for chin filler
👉 Chin filler is a procedure that can approach various facial conditions that require restoration of chin volume and lines, such as short chin, recessed chin (weak chin), round chin, and conditions that look like a double chin.
Short chin
A state where the chin does not protrude sufficiently downward, making the lower face look short.
Filling the downward volume with chin filler makes the overall facial length ratio natural and restores a slimmer impression.
Recessed chin (weak chin)
A state where the chin is pushed back, causing the side profile E-line to collapse.
Filling the forward volume with chin filler naturally connects the tip of the nose and the chin, restoring side profile balance.
Round chin
A state where the chin finishes round and short without being pointed.
Designing the line with chin filler creates a naturally pointed finish and a slimmer lower face.
Conditions that look like a double chin
If chin volume is insufficient, the boundary between the face and neck becomes blurred, which can leave an impression of a double chin even if there is no excess fat.
Restoring volume with chin filler clarifies the face and neck lines, improving the double chin impression as well.
Uijeongbu chin filler lineup
👉 At the Uijeongbu branch, we operate chin filler with two options: domestic and imported, and both options are performed as a combination procedure that includes pebbled chin Botox.
You can see the immediate volume of the hyaluronic acid filler right after the procedure, and the pebbled chin Botox starts to show muscle relaxation effects from 3 to 7 days, settling stably at the 2-week mark.
Chin filler effects last for 12 to 18 months, and pebbled chin Botox lasts for 3 to 6 months, so the re-treatment cycle for each area is adjusted as needed.
We will look at the options that suit your chin condition, the degree of pebbled chin, and brand preference during the pre-procedure consultation.
Who is chin filler for?
Those who are concerned about their side profile because their E-line has collapsed
Those whose face looks chubby or large due to a short chin
Those who have a bumpy pebbled chin
Those who do not have a double chin but have a blurred boundary between the chin and neck
Those who want to naturally refine their lower face line
Those who want a slimmer impression by restoring facial balance
Side effects of Uijeongbu chin filler and things to know in advance
👉 Uijeongbu chin filler is a procedure with long-standing clinical data, but individual chin structure, filler brand, and the practitioner's design judgment have a significant impact on the stability of the results.
Immediately after the procedure, light redness, minor swelling, thin bruising, and a temporary feeling of a foreign body may occur.
Generally, these resolve naturally within a few days to a week.
Since the chin is an area where blood vessels pass, the precise layer identification and injection method of an experienced medical staff have a significant impact on the stability of the results.
Stability is ensured by using a cannula for a comfortable procedure, and it is good for recovery stability to refrain from strong massages, saunas, and strenuous exercise for a few days after the procedure.
Since pebbled chin Botox works by relaxing nerve-muscle signal transmission, it is recommended to avoid strongly pressing the treated area or lying down for 4 hours after the procedure, and strenuous exercise and drinking are discouraged on the day of the procedure.
Both filler and Botox have individual response differences, so fine adjustments may be considered if necessary after checking the results at the 2-week mark.
If any of the following apply to you, the procedure may be restricted or require prior confirmation, so please inform us during the consultation.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If you have a history of allergies to hyaluronic acid or botulinum toxin ingredients
If you have active herpes, infection, or wounds in the treated area
If you have been diagnosed with neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome
If you are regularly taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents, or have a bleeding tendency
If you have a recent history of other filler or thread procedures in the chin area
⚠️ Precautions before and after chin filler procedure
👉 Chin filler is a procedure where result stability and recovery speed depend on pre-procedure condition management and post-procedure initial care.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. When can I see the results of Uijeongbu chin filler?
You can see immediate volume and line changes with filler right after the procedure.
Pebbled chin Botox shows muscle relaxation effects from 3 to 7 days after the procedure, and a stable result settles at the 2-week mark, completing a smooth chin line.
Q. Should I choose domestic or imported filler?
The choice depends on brand characteristics and budget.
If you want a comfortable approach, domestic is suitable, and if you want verified global clinical data and premium options, imported is suitable; pebbled chin Botox is also provided with matching domestic or imported options.
Q. Why is pebbled chin Botox necessary?
If you only get chin filler, the pebbled chin muscles may remain, leaving the bumpy surface as it is.
In fact, as the volume is filled, the pebbled chin may look more noticeable, so it is designed as a combination procedure where pebbled chin Botox is performed together for a smooth chin line.
Q. How long does the chin filler last?
It generally lasts for 12 to 18 months.
Pebbled chin Botox lasts for 3 to 6 months, so the re-treatment cycle is shorter than filler, and a method of re-treating only the pebbled chin management separately is frequently considered.
Q. How much pain is there during the procedure?
It is performed after applying anesthetic cream, so there is no significant strong pain.
Chin filler is performed with a cannula (blunt tube), so irritation is low, and pebbled chin Botox is injected in small amounts with a thin needle, so the burden is relatively low.
Q. How long is the downtime?
Redness and minor swelling resolve within a few days, and most people have no issues with daily life the next day.
If there is no bruising, it is a procedure where light makeup is possible from the evening of the procedure day.
Q. Is chin Botox (square jaw Botox) different from pebbled chin Botox?
The injected muscles are completely different.
Square jaw Botox is injected into the masseter muscle (chewing muscle) on the side of the face to reduce the square jaw, and pebbled chin Botox is injected into the mentalis muscle under the chin to refine the bumpy pebbled chin.
The chin is an important area that determines the impression of the front and side profile of the face.
If chin volume is insufficient, the face looks large and the side profile E-line collapses, and if the pebbled chin muscles are also developed, the bumpy surface remains, leaving the lower face unrefined.
Uijeongbu chin filler is a combination procedure that restores chin volume and lines with hyaluronic acid filler while simultaneously refining the mentalis muscle overactivity with pebbled chin Botox to complete a smooth chin and a refined V-line.
At the Uijeongbu branch, we have two lines prepared: a domestic filler + domestic toxin combination for those who want a comfortable approach, and an imported filler + imported toxin combination for those who want premium options.
Both lines include both filler and Botox, so you can get volume restoration and pebbled chin refinement in one procedure.
In addition to chin filler, various procedures for lower face and facial balance management are operated, so you can combine them according to your needs, such as square jaw reduction, double chin management, and facial lifting.
We will check the direction that suits your chin condition and the degree of pebbled chin directly during the consultation.

❓ 자주 묻는 질문 (FAQ)
Q. 의정부 턱끝필러 결과는 언제부터 확인할 수 있나요?
필러는 시술 직후부터 즉각적인 볼륨과 라인 변화를 확인할 수 있습니다.
자갈턱 보톡스는 시술 후 3~7일부터 근육 이완 효과가 나타나고
2주 시점에 안정적인 결과가 자리 잡아 매끈한 턱끝 라인이 완성됩니다.
Q. 국산과 수입 필러 중 어떤 걸 골라야 하나요?
브랜드 특성과 예산에 따라 선택이 달라집니다.
부담 없는 접근을 원하시면 국산, 검증된 글로벌 임상 데이터와
프리미엄 옵션을 원하시면 수입이 어울리고,
자갈턱 보톡스도 같은 방향으로 국산·수입이 매칭되어 제공됩니다.
Q. 왜 자갈턱 보톡스가 함께 필요한가요?
턱끝필러만 진행하면 자갈턱 근육이 남아 오돌토돌한 표면이 그대로일 수 있습니다.
오히려 볼륨이 채워지면서 자갈턱이 더 도드라져 보일 수 있어
매끈한 턱끝 라인을 위해 자갈턱 보톡스가 함께 진행되는 조합으로 설계되어 있습니다.
Q. 턱끝필러 유지 기간은 얼마나 되나요?
일반적으로 12~18개월 유지됩니다.
자갈턱 보톡스는 3~6개월 유지되어 필러보다 재시술 주기가 짧고,
자갈턱 관리만 별도로 재시술하는 방식이 자주 검토됩니다.
Q. 시술 통증은 어느 정도인가요?
시술 전 마취 크림 도포 후 진행되어 강한 통증은 크지 않습니다.
턱끝필러는 캐뉼라(무딘 관)로 진행되어 자극이 낮고,
자갈턱 보톡스는 가는 바늘로 소량씩 주입되어 부담이 상대적으로 적습니다.
Q. 다운타임이 얼마나 되나요?
붉은기와 미세 부기가 며칠 이내에 정리되고, 대부분 다음 날 일상생활에 지장이 없습니다.
멍이 없는 경우 시술 당일 저녁부터 가벼운 메이크업이 가능한 정도의 시술입니다.
Q. 턱 보톡스(사각턱 보톡스)와 자갈턱 보톡스는 다른가요?
주입 근육이 완전히 다릅니다.
사각턱 보톡스는 얼굴 옆 교근(씹는 근육)에 주입해 사각턱 축소에 접근하고,
자갈턱 보톡스는 턱끝 아래 이근에 주입해 오돌토돌한 자갈턱 정돈에 접근합니다.
턱끝은 얼굴 정면과 옆모습 인상을 결정하는 중요한 부위입니다.
턱 볼륨이 부족하면 얼굴이 커 보이고 옆모습 E라인이 무너지며,
자갈턱 근육이 함께 발달하면 오돌토돌한 표면이 남아 하관이 정돈되지 않습니다.
의정부 턱끝필러는 히알루론산 필러로 턱 볼륨과 라인을 회복시키면서
자갈턱 보톡스로 이근 근육 과활성을 함께 정돈해
매끈한 턱끝과 정돈된 V라인을 함께 완성하는 조합 시술입니다.
의정부점에서는 부담 없는 접근을 원하시는 분들을 위한 국산 필러 + 국산 톡신 조합과
프리미엄 옵션을 원하시는 분들을 위한 수입 필러 + 수입 톡신 조합 두 라인이 준비되어 있어요.
