How Can a Chin Cleft Be Removed? Botox, Cutting the Fascia of Mental Muscle?

Chin clefts can be reduced by a variety of techniques. Injectable fillers can provide an immediate non-surgical improvement that will last as long as the filler persists. Permanent chin cleft reduction can be done through an intraoral approach where the mentalis muscle is divided, filled with a fat graft or dermal implant and then the muscle plicated onto itself. Either of these two procedures produce a reduction but not always a complete eradication of the chin cleft. more

Because the anatomy of a cleft chin results from a lack of muscle (or excessive muscle separation) in the midline of the chin, botox &/or cuting tissue away will just make it worse. Thus, the midline actually needs fullness added by way of either an implant or a long acting filler such as Aquamid that last for 5+ years. Glad I could help...RAS
