FDA Approves Galderma’s Restylane Lyft with Lidocaine for Chin Augmentation
October 2025 — Texas, USA: Galderma announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Restylane Lyft with Lidocaine for chin augmentation in adults over 21 with mild-to-moderate chin retrusion. The decision expands the product’s existing approvals for midface contouring, facial folds, wrinkles, and hand rejuvenation.
Restylane Lyft, developed with NASHA technology, features a firmer hyaluronic acid (HA) gel designed to add structure and support. With its high G-prime value—a measure of firmness—the injectable aims to deliver enhanced chin projection and facial balance.
“This approval reinforces our commitment to advancing our Injectable Aesthetics portfolio to meet diverse patient needs,” said Bill Andriopoulos, Vice President of Medical Affairs, Galderma US.
Clinical Results Support Long-Term Efficacy
The FDA approval is based on a pivotal clinical trial assessing the safety and effectiveness of Restylane Lyft for chin enhancement.
Key findings include:
Primary endpoint met: Significant improvement in chin projection at three months, maintained through 12 months.
High satisfaction rates: At Month 3, 99.1% of investigators and 94.4% of subjects reported visible improvement; these figures remained above 89% at Month 12.
Natural-looking results: Up to 86.3% of patients agreed that the treatment delivered a balanced and natural chin-to-jawline transition.
Favourable safety profile: No serious or unexpected adverse events were reported.
“The chin plays a vital role in overall facial harmony,” said Dr. Alia S. Brown, cosmetic dermatologist at Georgia Dermatology Partners. “Restylane Lyft provides a safe and effective option to enhance facial balance.”
Global Expansion Plans
Galderma plans to submit regulatory applications for the new indication in additional markets worldwide. The company stated that it aims to make the chin augmentation indication available in as many countries as possible.
