Botox for the Chin
As we age, changes in our chin include the development of wrinkling between the chin and the lip (labiomental crease), cobblestoning or irregularities of the chin, and marionette lines between the chin and jaw. These are caused by the action of facial muscles over years.
Botox can help these lines by relaxing the muscles that cause them. Injections in this area should be done by an advanced Botox practitioner with significant experience.

Crease between lower lip and chin
The crease between the lower lip and chin is called the labiomental crease. This is difficult to improve in some patients as it is tightly bound down to the underlying tissue. Botox may help a little, but has a risk of affecting the function and appearance of your lower lip.
Often subcision, a dissecting procedure, is done from below the crease by placing a needle adjacent to it and cutting the bands of collagen that hold it down. Immediately thereafter or at another appointment, a filler...

Mental Groove Responds to Botox and Filler
The groove between lower lip and chin is called ' Labiomental or mental groove'. It is caused initally by the aggressive chin muscle (Mentalis) continuously pushing upwards and with time becames deeply engraved.
The first line of action is to use Botox in the chin (Mentalis) to stop the movement.
Next step is to use a filler in the groove, such as Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse or Sculptra

A Combination of Volumizing Fillers, Subcision & Botox Works Well For Deep Furrows Between The Lips & Chin (Labiomental Creases)
A deep furrow between the lower lip and the chin, the labiomental crease, which may resemble an upside down smiley face, may result from a family trait predisposition or more typically follows years of use of the surrounding muscles of facial expression. While considered one of the signs of facial aging, it can be seen in younger people as well.
Fortunately, most instances of these deepening clefts can be improved with the use of volumizing fillers, such as Radiesse or a...

Botox for the labiomental crease
Injecting a small amount of Botox into the labiomental crease can relax the chin muscles. Fillers can then be used to plump the crease. Please have treatment with an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Fillers and Botox work together for the chin area.
The crease between the chin and lower lip can be pronounced in some people. It is called the labiomental (lip-chin) crease. There are also a lot of muscles in the chin area. Some muscles cause chin dimpling with certain expressions, and others help the lower lip function properly. A small amount of carefully placed Botox, combined with fllers under the crease itself, can smooth the chin area nicely.
Too much Botox will compromise normal mouth function, so be careful....

Fillers for wrinkles
This labiomental skin crease can be appropriately treated with a filler. Juvederm and Restylane work well for this area, but may last 6-9 months. Radiesse lasts up to 18 months but must be carefully injected into the appropriate plane to avoid lumps. There is also a semipermanent filler, but I tend to avoid this as complications associated with it are difficult to correct.

Labiomental crease and Botox
The use of Botox is an advanced application. As such, it should only be used by physicians who are experienced in injecting in this area. The line which occurs between the lip and chin is called the labiomental crease and can be softened with the proper use of Botox.

Labio-Mental Crease Treatment
The crease between the lip (labia) and chin (mentum) is called, you guessed it, labio-mental crease. This is sometimes helped subtly with Botox but mostly it is treated with fillers like Juvederm and Restylane. Another common problem in the chin are the small dimples that can occur with certain facial expressions. The dimples sometimes look like the skin of an orange. This is caused by the mentalis muscle and is very well treated with Botox.

Labiomental crease
The labiomental crease is located between your lower lip and your chin. It is a difficult area to great is Botox is not an effective treatment. Dermal fillers may help somewhat but are also not very effective. Surgery is the best option to release the underlying attachments. Good luck.

Botox and filler between lower lip and chin
The area between the lower lip and chin is called the labiomental crease. Botox to the chin will help in this area by softening the muscle that pulls the chin and causes the crease. You can add a filler such as Restylane, Juvederm or Radiesse to this area depending on how deep the crease is.

It Is A Good Try
The hollow, deep, wrinkled area between the lower lip and the chin is called the labiomental crease. Botox can help soften the muscle pull. Another filler can then be used along the crease and lateral to improve the appearance. But this is not guaranteed as that area is difficult to improve.

Labiomental Crease - The wrinkle between your lower lip and chin
The groove/hollow between your lower lip and chin is known as the labiomental crease. As we age, it may become more pronounced and deep. This is especially true of patients with an overactive mentalis (chin muscle). Both Botox and fillers (eg. Restylane or Juvederm) can be used to improve the appearance of this crease. Botox can relax the muscle and fillers can be used to increase volume in the area and improve the appearance. Some patients may be...

Fillers for Labiomental crease, Botox or Dysport for gnarled chin
The valley between lips and chin is called labiomental crease and fillers can be quite helpful to soften the demarcation. On the other hand, Botox or Dysport can be effective to minimize gnarled appearance that some individuals have on the chin by relaxing the mentalis facial muscle.

Shaping the Chin with Botox and Cosmetic Dermal Fillers
This is a good question because so many consumers are unaware of all the many ways that Botox or Dysport may be used apart from treating the frown lines. As all of the panel members mentioned, Botox to this area works well in softening this strong facial muscle. We often utilize a combination treatment of both Botox and dermal fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm to shape the chin and soften the crease. Oftentimes, the sides of the chin begin to develop depressions, and...

Treatment of crease between lip and chin
The line is called the labiomental (lip-chin) crease and can be softened with a little Botox to weaken the muscle that accentuates it and filled with a combination filler, both deep to soften the skin attachments and in the crease itself to reduce the line. Juviderm would be perfect for that.

Treat your mental crease with fillers
The line between the lower lip and chin is known as the mental crease or delete your mental groove. This line is caused by attachments within your skin that attach your skin to the underlying muscle and fascia. A variety of fillers may be used in this area to camouflage this crease. The type of fillers that are available in your situation depend on the thickness of your skin and how long you would like filler to remain..

Labiomental crease
This is a difficult area to treat but does respond to a combination treatments. Firstly, Botox should be injected to soften the muscle pull. Secondly a filler along the crease and lateral will improve the appearance.Unfortunately, the benefit is only temporary

Dermal filler for mental crease
This crease is known as the mental crease and is best filled with a dermal filler such as Restylane or Juvederm, not Botox. It is typically very deep with dermal atrophy and is a very difficult problem to correct

Groove or line or wrinkle or crease between chin and lower lip = labiomental groove
Our technical name of this area is the Labiomental groove. It is a difficult area to correct and can be effected by the dentition, chin/jaw prominence, and muscle activity. I have treated this with Radiesse with acceptable results.

Fillers work best for the mental crease
That line between the lower lip and chin is called the "mental crease", and is an area that many people like to have reduced (and sometimes eliminated).
Fillers, particularly hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Prevelle, work best for this area. While Botox can help reduce the wrinkling and furrows of the chin itself, it won't help correct this line (the mental crease) very well.

Cheilomental crease takes a lot of filler
That nasty line is called the cheilomental crease. It can take quite a bit of filler to help this line. Personally, I think you might do well to have volume placed is the depressor anguli oris area. This is the gap along the jaw line that creates a hollow between the chin and what looks like a little jowl. This treatment restores the continuity of the jaw line and it is very helpful.
