Surgeons Qualified for Surgically Altering a Hyperactive Mentalis Muscle That Results in Slight Pebble Chin? (Purely Aesthetic)

March 12, 2013
Asked By:lovebeautymusic in San Francisco, CA

Given the rarity of this issue & the preponderance of its treatment with Botox (which I'm uninterested in due to its temporary nature) locating a surgeon who has experience/success surgically altering this muscle to fix a purely aesthetic hang up hasn't been easy. It was explained to me the procedure entails partially transecting the mentalis muscle, resulting in a "normal" un-dimpled chin. How would I locate a surgeon qualified for said procedure who has enjoyed consistent success in doing so?
