Chin filler is one of the few injectable purchases where the syringe count is genuinely predictable. Cheeks and jawlines are open-ended volume problems. A chin is a projection problem with a fairly narrow answer, which is why most practices quote one syringe and plan for a second only if the profile needs more than a subtle change.
That makes it easy to budget and easy to compare, as long as you are comparing the same product. The gap between the cheapest and most expensive syringe on published U.S. price lists is close to $425 for what is often a very similar gel. This guide covers 2026 per-syringe prices, how many syringes a chin realistically takes, whether the premium products are worth it, and how the whole thing compares against a chin implant.

What Does Chin Filler Cost Without Insurance?
Practice figures are published price lists read in September 2026. National averages come from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and from CareCredit’s cosmetic cost tables.
| Product / Service | Low | Average | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chin filler, per syringe (published practice prices) | $495 | n/a | $920 |
| Juvederm Voluma XC, per syringe (published lists) | $650 | $843 | $900 |
| Juvederm Volux XC, per syringe (published lists) | $650 | n/a | $895 |
| Restylane Defyne, per syringe (published lists) | $495 | n/a | $720 |
| Radiesse, per syringe (published lists) | $549 | $693 | $920 |
| Calcium hydroxylapatite, national average per vial | n/a | $1,127 | n/a |
| Typical chin plan, one to two syringes | $495 | n/a | $1,840 |
| Chin augmentation surgery, ASPS average surgeon’s fee | n/a | $3,641 | n/a |

Sources: $650 Voluma and Volux, $495 Restylane Defyne are New Look Skin Center’s California list; $895 Volux, $880 Voluma and $920 Radiesse (1.5 mL) are Ringpfeil Dermatology’s Philadelphia list; $900 Voluma, $850 Volux and $850 Radiesse are Fiala Aesthetics’ Orlando list; $549 Radiesse (1.5 cc everyday-low rate) and $645 Voluma are OU Beauty’s Los Angeles list; $720 Restylane Defyne is Desert Bloom Skincare’s Scottsdale list; $843 Voluma, $693 Radiesse, $1,127 calcium hydroxylapatite, $4,272 chin augmentation and $672 filler reversal are CareCredit averages; $3,641 is the American Society of Plastic Surgeons average surgeon’s fee for chin augmentation.
The two national datasets do not agree on Radiesse, and it is worth knowing why. CareCredit reports $693 for Radiesse and $1,127 for calcium hydroxylapatite generally, which is the same material. The gap is almost certainly syringe size and dilution: Radiesse ships in a 1.5 cc syringe, and diluted preparations are priced differently from full-strength ones. Ask what size syringe you are being quoted.
The practical planning number for one syringe of a brand-name chin filler at a practice that publishes its prices is $650 to $900.
How Many Syringes a Chin Actually Takes
One, usually. Desert Bloom Skincare publishes that chin filler is typically one syringe per session, with results lasting 12 to 24 months depending on the product. That is the single most useful cost fact in this category, because it means the quote you get should be close to the per-syringe price, not a multiple of it.
Two syringes is the common second scenario, and it applies when the goal is a visible projection change on a receding chin rather than softening a crease. At $650 to $900 per syringe, that is $1,300 to $1,800.
The number to be suspicious of is four or more. Chin and jawline get bundled together in a lot of quotes, and the jawline is where the syringe count climbs. If a quote runs past two syringes, ask which milliliters are going into the chin and which are going along the jaw, then price the two separately. A quote that will not break out by area is not a price you can check.
Volux and Radiesse vs. Standard Hyaluronic Acid
The chin is sold as a place where you need a firm, high-projection product. Sometimes that is true. Whether it is worth the premium depends entirely on which practice’s list you are reading.
At New Look Skin Center in California, Juvederm Volux XC and Voluma XC are both $650 while Restylane Defyne is $495. That is a $155 premium for the firmer gel, which is a reasonable price for structure. At Ringpfeil Dermatology in Philadelphia, Volux is $895 against $680 for standard Juvederm Ultra, a $215 gap. At Fiala Aesthetics in Orlando, Volux is $850 against $750 for most Restylane products, a $100 gap.
The FDA indications are worth knowing before you pay for the premium name. Juvederm Voluma XC carries an approval specifically for augmentation of the chin region to improve the chin profile, granted June 12, 2020. Restylane Defyne carries an approval for chin augmentation in patients with mild to moderate chin retrusion, granted January 29, 2021. Juvederm Volux XC, the product most often marketed for the lower face, is approved for improvement of jawline definition in adults over 21, not for the chin specifically.
So the cheapest product on several published lists, Restylane Defyne at $495, is one of only two with a chin indication, while the priciest, Volux at $850 to $895, is approved for the area next door. That does not make Volux the wrong choice, since injectors use it in the chin routinely and off-label use is legal and common. It does mean the premium is not buying you a chin-specific approval.
Radiesse is a genuinely different trade. The FDA puts calcium hydroxylapatite at approximately 18 months against approximately six to 12 months for hyaluronic acid, so a $693 Radiesse syringe amortizes better than a $650 hyaluronic acid one. The catch is that there is no reversal agent for it. A Scottsdale practice that performs filler removal states plainly that Radiesse cannot be dissolved and that management is time (12 to 18 months) plus massage, while hyaluronic acid can be reversed with hyaluronidase. Buy the longer duration only if you are confident in the result. For a fuller breakdown, see our Radiesse cost guide.
Chin Filler vs. a Chin Implant
This is the comparison most people actually want, and the answer changes depending on the time horizon.
Day one, filler wins by a wide margin. A one to two syringe chin treatment runs $650 to $1,800. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons puts the average surgeon’s fee for chin augmentation at $3,641, and notes that figure excludes anesthesia, operating room facilities, and other related expenses. CareCredit’s all-in average for chin augmentation is $4,272.
Over ten years, the math flips. Hyaluronic acid chin filler at 12 to 24 months means five to ten repeat purchases, which at $900 a syringe is $4,500 to $9,000 and does not include the second syringe if you need one. An implant is a single cost.
The non-financial trade is reversibility, and it cuts in filler’s favor. Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved at a national average of $672. An implant requires a second surgery to remove. Many people use filler precisely as a paid trial before committing to surgery, which is a defensible use of $650 to $900. Our chin implant cost guide covers the surgical side in detail.
Cash Price vs. Insurance
There is no insurance angle. Cosmetic chin augmentation is excluded from coverage whether it is done with a syringe or a scalpel, the published price is the market price, and nothing you spend counts toward a deductible or out-of-pocket maximum. Do not let a practice file a claim on your behalf, because a denied cosmetic claim turns a clean cash transaction into a billing problem.
The exception is a complication, which is medical care. If one ever produces a hospital or facility bill, treat it like any other. Request an itemized hospital bill, pull the facility’s posted cash rate using our hospital price transparency guide, and work the number down with our guide to negotiating medical bills.
How to Pay Less
- Get the quote in syringes before you get it in dollars. A chin is usually a one-syringe purchase. If the number you are quoted is more than twice the practice’s per-syringe rate, ask what the extra milliliters are doing and where they are going.
- Compare the cheapest FDA-approved chin product against the premium one. Restylane Defyne is published at $495 to $720 and carries a chin indication. Volux is published at $850 to $895 and carries a jawline indication. Ask your injector directly whether the firmer product is necessary for your anatomy or just the default.
- Take the everyday-low or new-patient rate seriously, then read what happens next. One Los Angeles practice publishes a $750 standard price and a $645 everyday-low price for Voluma, and $600 versus $549 for Radiesse. That is real money, but confirm what visit two costs.
- Enroll in the free manufacturer rewards program before you book. Merz’s Xperience+ pays 200 points per Radiesse syringe, redeemable against future treatments, and applies a $50 instant discount on eligible treatments. Galderma’s ASPIRE covers the Restylane line, opens with $20 in welcome savings, and pays up to 600 points per visit redeemed at 100 points for $10.
- Check the quote against the published band. Practices that post their prices generally charge them. Run any number you are given through our fair price checker before you agree to it.
- Price the year, not the visit. A $693 Radiesse syringe at roughly 18 months is about $462 a year. A $650 hyaluronic acid syringe at nine months is about $867 a year. The cheaper sticker is not always the cheaper purchase, as long as you are sure you want the result.
Where the Chin Fits in a Lower-Face Budget
Chin filler is often sold inside a package with jawline filler, Kybella, or lip work, and packages are where per-unit prices go unexamined. Price each area on its own first.
If a double chin rather than a weak chin is the concern, that is a different product and a different budget: our Kybella cost guide covers the per-vial math. If you are pricing the Juvederm line across several areas, our Juvederm cost guide has the per-product numbers, and our lip filler cost guide covers the area most often added to a lower-face appointment.
This is a cost guide and not medical advice. Whether chin filler is appropriate for you, and which product, is a conversation with a licensed injector.
Bottom Line
Chin filler runs $495 to $920 per syringe on published U.S. price lists as of September 2026, and most chins take one syringe, putting a realistic first treatment at $650 to $1,800. Only Juvederm Voluma XC and Restylane Defyne carry FDA approvals for the chin itself, and Defyne is among the cheapest products on several lists. Radiesse lasts longer and costs less per year but cannot be dissolved. Against a $3,641 to $4,272 chin implant, filler is the cheaper trial and the more expensive decade.
