Injectable Filler-Based Chin Augmentation: A Systematic Review of Non-Surgical Volumetric Techniques.
Synthesis in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFacial aesthetics are profoundly influenced by the chin, a central feature that shapes harmony, projection, and perceived attractiveness. As demand for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures grows globally, nonsurgical chin augmentation has emerged as a cornerstone in facial contouring. The chin is a small yet powerful determinant of facial harmony. Its retrusion, whether congenital, traumatic, or age-related, can distort balance and undermine self-perception. PURPOSE: With patients increasingly seeking minimally invasive solutions, this systematic review evaluates injectable volumetric techniques for chin augmentation, with a focus on dermal filler-based interventions, and synthesises current evidence on efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction.
methodsFollowing PRISMA-E guidelines, a comprehensive search across seven databases (1965-2026) identified clinical studies evaluating injectable fillers (and other eligible injectable volumetric agents) for chin augmentation. Study quality and data diversity were analysed, including I
resultsEleven eligible studies comprising 876 patients were analysed. Hyaluronic acid fillers predominated, with follow-ups averaging 12.8 months (SD: 7.7). Over 90% of patients reported satisfaction, supported by photographic and patient-reported assessments. Adverse effects were minor and transient, mainly oedema, bruising, and nodularity.
conclusionInjectable fillers provide effective short-term improvement in chin projection with high patient satisfaction and acceptable safety. However, evidence is heterogeneous and largely non-comparative, limiting conclusions on long-term outcomes. Further controlled studies are required.
