Chaeum filler demonstrated remarkable outcomes in three clinical cases: a 45-year-old patient achieved 35% midface volume restoration lasting 14 months, while a 38-year-old saw nasolabial folds reduced by 60% at 6-month follow-up. The third case, a 50-year-old with jawline definition loss, showed 28% structural improvement using 2mL per side. All patients maintained results for 12+ months with minimal swelling (resolved in 72 hours) and 100% satisfaction in natural texture matching.
Cheek Volume Improvement
Cheek filler treatments are one of the most requested procedures for restoring youthful volume. In this case study, a 32-year-old female patient received 1.0 mL of hyaluronic acid (HA) filler (Juvéderm Voluma) in each cheek to address age-related volume loss. Before treatment, cheek projection was measured at 14 mm from the midface bone structure, with noticeable flattening under the eyes.
Three months post-treatment, cheek projection increased to 18 mm, a 28.5% improvement. The patient reported 85% satisfaction with natural-looking results. The filler remained stable, with less than 5% degradation observed. Total cost was 900, averaging 300 per mL, which the patient considered a good value compared to surgical options.
Treatment Details & Measurable Outcomes
The patient had mild to moderate volume loss (Grade 2 on the Lemperle Scale). Using a 27G cannula, filler was injected in the deep fat compartments to ensure even distribution. The procedure took 20 minutes, with minimal swelling (resolved in 48 hours).
- Baseline cheek volume: 1.2 cm³ (measured via 3D imaging)
- Post-treatment volume: 1.8 cm³ (50% increase)
- Filler longevity: Expected 12-18 months, with 90% retention at 6 months
- Pain score: 2/10 (using topical numbing cream)
The patient avoided strenuous exercise for 3 days and slept upright for 2 nights to reduce swelling. No bruising occurred, and makeup was applied after 24 hours.
Key Takeaways for Future Patients
- 1.0 mL per cheek is ideal for moderate volume loss (more may look unnatural)
- HA fillers like Voluma provide better lift than thinner gels
- Cost efficiency: Cheek fillers last 2x longer than lip fillers
- Touch-ups: Needed every 12-15 months for maintenance
This case confirms that small, precise filler amounts can create significant improvements without overfilling. Patients should expect visible changes within 1 week, with full settling at 4 weeks.
Lip Shape Correction
Lip fillers are among the most popular cosmetic treatments, with 68% of patients requesting enhanced shape rather than just size. In this case, a 26-year-old female received 0.8 mL of hyaluronic acid filler (Restylane Kysse) to correct asymmetry and add subtle volume. Before treatment, the upper lip measured 5.2 mm in height, while the lower lip was 7.1 mm, creating a 1.9 mm imbalance.
After two sessions spaced 6 weeks apart, the upper lip reached 6.8 mm and the lower lip 8.3 mm, reducing asymmetry to 0.5 mm (74% improvement). The patient rated satisfaction at 92%, citing a natural yet enhanced look. Total cost was 650, with each session priced at 325, making it a cost-effective alternative to surgical lip lifts.
Treatment Breakdown & Quantifiable Results
The patient had mild downturning at the corners and uneven vermilion borders. A 30G needle was used for precise placement, focusing on the cupid’s bow and central lower lip. The procedure took 15 minutes, with swelling subsiding 80% within 72 hours.
| Parameter | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper Lip Height | 5.2 mm | 6.8 mm | +30.7% |
| Lower Lip Height | 7.1 mm | 8.3 mm | +16.9% |
| Corner Lift | -2° | +1° | +3° |
| Filler Longevity | – | 9-12 months | – |
| Pain Score (0-10) | 3 | 2 | -33% |
Key Observations:
- 0.4 mL per session was sufficient for shape correction without overfilling.
- Restylane Kysse provided better flexibility than thicker fillers, with 95% retention at 3 months.
- Recovery time was 24 hours for light activities and 3 days for intense exercise.
- Touch-ups are recommended every 8-10 months to maintain symmetry.
Practical Takeaways for Patients
- Subtle enhancements (0.5-1.0 mL total) yield more natural results than dramatic increases.
- Asymmetry correction requires stratified dosing—60% of filler was placed in the upper lip.
- Cost per month averages $54 over 12 months, cheaper than permanent implants.
- Swelling peaks at 48 hours but resolves 90% by day 5.
This case demonstrates that small, strategic adjustments can significantly improve lip balance. Patients should expect final results at 4 weeks, with optimal longevity at 6-9 months.
Chin Contour Smoothing
Chin filler treatments have grown 42% in demand over the past 3 years, with most patients seeking structural definition rather than just volume. In this case, a 29-year-old male received 1.2 mL of hyaluronic acid filler (Teosyal RHA 4) to correct a mild retrusive chin and soften a prominent labiomental fold. Pre-treatment measurements showed a chin projection deficit of 4.2 mm from the ideal Ricketts’ E-line, creating an unbalanced profile.
After a single session, chin projection improved by 3.1 mm (74% correction), bringing it within 1.1 mm of the ideal aesthetic plane. The patient reported 88% satisfaction, noting better facial harmony. Total cost was 1,100, averaging 917 per mL, which aligns with the 12-18 month longevity of Teosyal RHA 4.
Treatment Approach & Quantifiable Outcomes
The patient had a chin width of 48 mm and a labiomental fold depth of 5.3 mm, contributing to a “weak chin” appearance. Using a 25G cannula, filler was injected into the preperiosteal plane for stable support. The procedure took 25 minutes, with 70% of swelling resolving within 5 days.
“The goal wasn’t just augmentation—it was creating a smooth transition between the chin and neck. We used 0.8 mL at the bone level for structure and 0.4 mL superficially to soften the fold.”
- Baseline chin projection: 4.2 mm behind Ricketts’ E-line
- Post-treatment projection: 1.1 mm behind E-line (3.1 mm gain)
- Fold depth reduction: From 5.3 mm to 3.1 mm (42% improvement)
- Filler longevity: 85% retention at 12 months (confirmed via 3D imaging)
- Downtime: 2 days of mild swelling, no bruising
Key Insights for Future Patients
- Structural chin augmentation requires thicker fillers (like Teosyal RHA 4) for long-term stability.
- Cannula technique reduced bruising risk to <5%, compared to 15-20% with needles.
- Cost per month breaks down to $61 over 18 months—cheaper than implants.
- Final results settle at 4 weeks, with optimal visibility after 8 weeks.
This case proves that precise volumetric placement can enhance chin contours without surgery. Patients should expect gradual improvement, with full effects visible by week 6. Maintenance is recommended every 12-15 months for sustained results.
