Is filler safe for the mental crease long term?

Yes—when placed with precision by an experienced physician. Long-term use maintains natural results and safety is monitored at your follow-up.

Does the procedure hurt?

A numbing injection or topical anesthetic is used beforehand. Most patients feel only mild pressure.

What can and cannot be done afterward?

You may return to normal activities the same day. Avoid pressing the area and heavy exercise for 24 hours.

What are the side effects?

Common effects include mild swelling, redness, or tenderness. Rare circulation issues are recognized and managed immediately.

Downtime is minimal. Slight swelling may persist for a few days but most patients resume daily life right away.

How Does Mental Crease Filler Work?

The mental crease (labiomental crease) is a horizontal line just above the chin. It develops from volume loss, skin laxity, bone resorption, and overactive chin muscles.

When mental crease filler is injected into the fold:

Restores lost support beneath the skin
Softens the line and reduces shadowing
Improves chin contour and facial balance
Creates a refreshed, youthful appearance

Results are immediate, with minimal downtime.

Treatment Dosage Guidelines

about 0.4 mL filler

Mild crease

about 0.8 mL filler

Moderate crease
