Abstract
AbstractIntroductionSubmental fullness (SMF), or the double chin, is a condition regarded as undesirable. Many treatment modalities are available for SMF reduction, such as energy‐based devices, injection lipolysis, or surgery. However, of minimal invasive modalities, hyaluronic acid (HA) injection has not been explored for possible SMF treatment.Case reportA 52‐year‐old East Asian female patient with prominent SMF underwent HA filler injection. Aside from marked reduction of SMF prominence, an improvement of sagging over her cheeks and jawline, and a general improvement to facial aging signs was noted.ConclusionHA filler injections for SMF offer an instant, zero downtime, and safe alternative, and can be considered in patients who wish to simultaneously achieve improvement in other facial areas.
