Can 3D scans reveal the true impact of chin fillers?
NCT ID NCT07777926
First seen Aug 20, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether hyaluronic acid filler injections can enhance the chin profile and how long the effect lasts. About 20 adults aged 22-55 who want chin enhancement will receive FDA-approved doses of filler. Researchers use 3D photography before and after treatment to measure volume changes in the lower face over 90 days. Participants also complete questionnaires to assess satisfaction and psychological well-being.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- hyaluronic acid filler (Restylane Lyft)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide precise data on how chin filler changes facial volume, helping doctors and patients set realistic expectations for cosmetic outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Filler injections carry risks like swelling, bruising, or asymmetry.
