Best treatment for improving a scar on the chin
Thank you for providing a clear photo. Minor scars like this best respond to filler. In general, Botox paralyzes the muscles in the area it is injected, causing wrinkles to smooth. It works best for issues such as crow's feet, lines on the forehead, smoker's lines, bunny lines, and the glabella. It will not be of any help for minimizing the appearance of a scar. I would recommend a consult with a board certified specialist who is experienced with filler. He/she will be able to assess your...

Botox Cosmetic AND Line filler
First I would treat the your chin with Botox cosmetic which will reduce DYNAMIC or wrinkles due to motion such as the orange peel appearance of the chin and some of the lines on your chin which are due to the mentalis muscle, followed by FILLING the lines and scar with Belotero which is a brand new filler for superficial lines and finally erasing the remainder of the lines with laser resurfacing or a series of fraxel treatments.

Chin line scar improvement
From the photo you submitted, it appears that a filler may be an option for improvement. Also, it is hard to tell from the picture but a laser resurfacing of the scar may also result in improvement. As far as botox, it can help with the dynamic appearance of the chin button area but would do little to improe the scar itself. Good luck.

Treatment of chin wrinkle/groove
A combination of botox and fillers is often used to enhance the lower face. The chin loses bone mass and fat as we age and the muscles in chin and corner of mouth work against each other and make this line or groove deeper with time. Botox can stop the muscles from working against one another and fillers, like Juvederm, can be placed on either side of the mentalis groove to support the tissue and not allow it to crease further. In person consultation is always best to...

Filler or Surgery may work best!
The depressed scar (from your prior mole removal) in the center of the chin may be amenable to filler. Ideally, a hyaluronic acid filler, such as Restylane, Juvederm or a new filler called Belotero. If this gives only a small improvement, or you are looking for a more permanent fix, a relatively simple scar revision procedure may have the best chance for improvement. Removing the tissue and placing new sutures in a thin line may practically erase the scar with good postoperative care...

Chin area and filler
If you have a depression under your chin, sometimes a filler may be helpful to plump it up. Botox is only used when there is animation issues.

Botox and chin line
If you are referring to the horizontal line, possibly a combination of both Botox and a filler would help soften that line and settle down the muscle in your chin. It's best to have an in-office assessment with a well-trained and experienced injector to be informed of all the available options.

Use filler to reduce chin line
Hi,
If your concern is the horizontal chin line then I would recommend the use of filler to soften the line. I would recommend Belotero, a newly FDA approved dermal filler intended for more shallow injection.
If your concern is the dimple scar below the horizontal line, then the best treatment option would a scar revision. This would removed the depressed scar and recreate a new surgically repaired scar which, if done properly, can give you better cosmetic result than your...

Botox vs filler
Neither will offer much improvement to the deep vertical scar on your chin. Because of the depth of the scar, you will probably need to look at scar revision, namely where a controlled excision of the scar plus a bit of surrounding normal skin followed by careful realignment and suturing of the skin in order to create a more cosmetically pleasing incision line. Other lines and around the mouth as well as volume loss along jawline and cheeks can better be addressed with...

Dermal Fillers for chin lines
Hi Snowbird. If we are correct, the chin line you are speaking about is the horizontal line between the mouth and chin.
If this is correct, we would opt for a dermal filler like Restylane or Radiesse to improve that line. While removing it completely may be challenging, filling behind it can make the line less dramatic.
