Abstrakt:	A frequent facial abnormality called chin retrusion, also known as retrognathia, can be detrimental to a person's self-esteem and overall face aesthetics. Hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are one non-surgical approach to this problem that may provide individuals seeking chin augmentation with a relatively less invasive and potentially more affordable alternative. The present literature does not provide enough in-depth systematic reviews of the use of HA in chin augmentation. By completing a complete examination of the information that is currently available, this study intends to fill this knowledge gap, supporting physicians and researchers in better comprehending the efficacy and implications of HA in chin augmentation. The safety and success of any esthetic procedure should be made based on the results reported by the patients, including satisfaction and quality of life. Patients need to receive comprehensive surgical instructions from a medical professional to optimize the results of the HA injections for chin enhancement surgery. Regardless of the reported safety of using HA injections, some unwanted side effects have also been recorded. Indeed, healthcare professionals can make more informed decisions and give a patient comprehensive information about the procedure's risks and benefits to the patients. A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. EMBASE, OVID, and Google Scholar databases were searched up to June 2023. We concentrated on adult patients treated with HA for chin enhancement, and our research was limited to studies conducted in English. A total of 2,738 patients from 24 articles were studied, with 2,259 receiving HA injections for chin augmentation. When applicable, aesthetic outcomes were assessed using scales such as the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS)/FACE-Q and the Galderma Chin Retrusion Scale. Patient satisfaction increased noticeably. Among the studies, some reported complications following HA injection. While three studies found no significant negative effects, one highlighted a major necrotic complication. HA has proven to be an effective and safe alternative to chin augmentation surgery, with the majority of patients showing high satisfaction rates. However, large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to obtain meaningful results, which will contribute to the further development of non-surgical cosmetic procedures. These studies may facilitate further innovation and refinement of these techniques and potentially expand the application of HA fillers in facial aesthetics.
