Hello, I have the opposite problem to chin dimpling. When I smile the tip of my chin flattens downward and curls under a bit. I would like to use Botox to stop this from happening. I assume I have an underactive mentalis and an overactive depressor labii inferioris. I'm guessing injecting my mentalis would have the opposite effect that I want. Would injecting the depressor labii inferioris with Botox keep the chin from flattening and pulling down and under when I smile? Thanks!

Conservative treatment with Botox, Dysport or Xeomin to the mentalis muscle often works well to improve the pouty appearance of the lower lip. I would do a conservative treatment and see how you liked the result at one week. You can always add more!
