I'm 19 years old and have developed what I believe is called "pebble chin". When I smile my chin has little bumps and lumps on it and it makes my chin look deformed. I thought it was from falling on chin a few years back and getting stiches causing my chin to become bumpy, but it could be from the fact that I have TMJ and 'clench' my jaw often? I'm not sure. Is botox the best solution and what would the cost be approximately? Thanks! A picture wouldn't really help because the flash.
pitted chin caused by overactive mentalis muscle is easily corrected by an experienced injector with dysport or botox. Care must be taken not to use many units here however.
Good luck,

I had botox between my eyes (frown lines) and crows feet two days ago. First timer. Between the eyes looks great and has given me a slight brow lift. But the crows feet injections are limiting my smile. My cheeks bulge & bunch when I smile and my smile seems to "stop" now without extending as broadly as before. Natural contour below my cheeks is gone w/ flat affect to the outer 1/3 of my face. While the crows feet are gone, so is my nice big and broad smile. Doesn't look like me. Suggestions?
Yes, Find a new injector with enough experience to avoid trying to tackle the lines near your cheek that appear to be crows feet when in fact are produced by the zygomaticus muscle, which is a muscle that elevates the angle of your mouth, and hence when injected, causes weakening of the smile.
Best of Luck,
Dr. Malouf
How Often Does a Drooping Eyelid Occur from a Botox Injection?
Your question is very important. First, it is never a good idea to inject upper lid. NO good can come of it.
The bottom lid can be injected to increase the aperature and produce a wider eye but should only be done by experienced injectors and where indicated.
To answer your second question, it is important to distinguish between droopy lid and droopy brow. Over injection of the frontalis muscle on the forehead is a common error made by inexperienced injectors which results in a droopy brow which in turn weighs heavy on the lids.
A droopy brow ( or lid ptosis) likely occurs from intravascular injection of the product which then travels to upper lid and causes a temporary but distressing lid droop which can be minimized by using Iopidine drops for the 2 weeks it takes to wear off.
Best,
Dr. Malouf
