Juvederm volux: the key solution to correct your chinThechinis the balance of the face and occupies almost a third of its total surface area. It is through our face that we express ourselves without words. It conveys all kinds of emotions and it is through the chin that we do this by bending, twisting and stretching it.

Thanks to our chin we convey several emotions such as:

• The trembling of the chin when feeling sad before bursting into tears
• Raising the chin to express an air of defiance
• The chin that twists to express joy, followed by a burst of laughter
• The expression of the chin to express that we are thinking
• The expression of the chin when questioning
• The expression of the chin when chewing food
• The expression of the chin when speaking

Through all these contractures our chin expresses everything we feel and makes us unique. Unfortunately, with time and age it changes its appearance and often tends to sink backwards or curl upwards. This is retrogeny of the chin.

This movement of the chin has several consequences on the face such as bitterness folds, the appearance of horizontal wrinkles located between the chin and the lower lip.

In other cases, individuals have a receding chin which is due to their genetic heritage. In this case the harmony of the face is affected because when it is located too far back it accentuates the presence of the other parts of the face.

A receding chin can be a source of discomfort because it gives a very unattractive appearance whether for a woman or a man.

What are the different causes of retrogenia, microgenia, receding chin and receding chin?

All these anomalies are often due to the individual’s heredity and are detected at birth or develop at a young age.

Concerning the receding chin, it is a tucked in chin and is receding. Its position is therefore set back in relation to the entire face. In this case the mandible which is the lower part of the face is shifted backwards. This is a malformation causing psychological complexes and discomfort.

The receding chin is similar to that of retrogenia with the cervico-mental angle which is poorly defined. This gives the impression that the neck is much thicker and over time it tends to be more marked and gets worse.

Which subsequently leads to several problems such as:

• Teeth alignment problems
• Chewing problems
• Sleep problems
• Breathing problems
• Self-esteem issues

What are the aesthetic criteria for the ideal chin?

For the profile to be in harmony, the chin should ideally be located 3 mm behind a vertical line which passes through the midpoint of the face. To be exact this line should start halfway down the nose and the protruding point of the upper lip. Generally when you are in profile, the chin and the edge of the lips should be aligned.

In order to accurately calculate the position of the chin, an aesthetic analysis of each individual is necessary and taking into account adequate facial harmony. This study is carried out according to the shape of each person’s face.

Why Juvederm volux is a revolutionary solution?

Following all these reasons, many people decide to have a touch-up through cosmetic surgery. Fortunately, today there is a revolutionary method to treat this key area of the face that does not require any surgical intervention.

In the past, to correct these anomalies it was necessary to have an implant placed through surgery. This is genioplasty which is a surgical procedure aimed at changing the appearance of the chin.

Genioplasty therefore corrects the chin which is:

• Too far back, insufficient, elusive and erased
• Or too advanced, protruding or called too strong

This procedure aims to improve the shape of an individual’s face by inserting an implant with the aim of reshaping the contour of the chin. It is made through an incision either inside the mouth or under your chin.

This process presents a risk of infection and rejection. Rejection is usually due to the implant being made of silicone or porous polyethylene. If this case occurs, the implant will have to be removed, which may result in:

• Loss of sensitivity
• A recurrence of the initial chin deformity
• Adhesions
• Skin or contour irregularities

Genioplasty usually takes place under anesthesia in an operating room.

After this procedure, the patient is likely to experience moderate pain. Bruising and edema occurs in the phase. Also, it is possible to feel discomfort during chewing when eating in the case of an intervention in the mouth.

The disadvantage with this procedure is that the implant cannot be shaped and the models available are limited. Concerning the surgical aftermath, it is necessary to allow several days or even several weeks of convalescence depending on each person’s case.

The advantages of Juvederm volux

Juvederm volux treatment is revolutionary because it replaced implant surgery giving way to hyaluronic acid injections. These injections are called “Juvederm Voluma” and “Volux”.

Today there is a newborn in the range of hyaluronic acids which is specially designed for chin correction. This treatment helps to perfectly reshape facial features that tend to sag.

It is a particularly cohesive and very elastic hyaluronic acid. It has the particularity of being volumizing with the aim of filling receding chins while remaining supple, structuring and lifting. It significantly improves the projection of your chin over a period of more than 18 months. Also, a stimulation of your own collagen has been noticed which ensures that part of the result is lasting.

These hyaluronic acids have replaced the implants placed:

• On the cheekbones
• At the jaw (or mandible)
• On the chin

This new technique of cosmetic surgery now allows us to reshape and maintain a perfect oval. We are referring here to a perfect oval which highlights the facial features while providing a beautiful image of fit and support.

The Juvederm volux treatment therefore allows you to reshape the contours of your face without going under the knife. Its objective is to restore the harmony of proportions and restore a gentle convexity. The corrections reshape the oval of the face without adding weight.

Juvederm volux is an injection so no surgery and no anesthesia. He will exempt you from

• Any painkillers taken
• Convalescence

Thanks to the Juvederm volux treatment we have the possibility of correcting the area very precisely and according to the desired dose according to the result you want and especially according to the deformation to be corrected. This method is much easier for a correction:

• Asymmetry of the bone structure
• Asymmetrical cheekbones
• Asymmetrical chin

With this injection the correction can be carried out gradually, especially in the case of significant deformation. And it is more economical because a single injection of a dose of 1 ml is more than enough for each session with an adequate interval or according to your desire for rapid results. You can choose your injection interval if you want the change to be less obvious to those around you.

For men, Juvederm volux helps to make the jaw more square by bringing out the right angle of the latter and clearly demarcating the neck area and the oval. Giving more character to the face.

The chin is the pillar of our face allowing us to give harmonious proportions. The oval of the face can be rounded, pointed or square and these characteristics bring more character but above all more femininity and masculinity. Unfortunately with age or due to genetics this oval sags and reveals the lower cheeks giving a sad and sagging effect to the face. Juvederm volux is the perfect solution to this type of correction because it not only provides volume, lifts and deeply hydrates. Each injection therefore structures and lifts by considerably improving the projection of your chin.

This hyaluronic acid is a real innovation with much more affordable costs as surgical interventions.
