I told C A I L I N . B U R N S we were doing chin filler next…she’s like okay you’re the boss (doesn’t even ask why 🤣) but even she can see that it makes all the difference.

The chin filler improves her proportions mainly by restoring balance between the lower face and the rest of the profile and midface.
Profile (the biggest change)
* Before, the chin sat behind the lips and nose, so the lower third looked recessed and the face tilted back at the bottom.
* Projecting the chin forward brings the pogonion (the most forward point of the chin) closer to a vertical line dropped from the lower lip. This lets the nose, lips, and chin read as a balanced profile instead of a nose-dominant one.
* With the chin recessed, the nose looks relatively larger. Bringing the chin forward counterbalances it, so the nose looks smaller without any change to the nose itself.
Vertical height
* Adding volume that lifts the chin point and fills the labiomental area gives the lower third a more defined, shorter-looking structure. It reduces the long, sloping look of the lower face.
* A deeper, better-defined labiomental fold (the crease under the lower lip) gives the lips a stable base, so they look fuller and more pronounced without lip filler.
Overall facial shape
* Her face now appears more tapered toward the chin instead of ending in a blunt, rounded lower edge. This reads as a more oval, balanced shape and a more “lifted” face.
* In the frontal view, the added length and projection narrows the apparent width of the lower face, bringing it into better harmony with the forehead and cheekbones.
Jawline and neck
* A projected chin pulls the jawline into a cleaner, more continuous line from chin to angle.
* In the three-quarter and side views, the submental area looks tighter and the cervicomental angle (chin to neck) appears sharper. Before, the soft tissue under the chin hung without a shelf to define it.
Why it works visually
Facial attractiveness depends heavily on proportion and symmetry between thirds and between profile landmarks. Chin augmentation chang
