Question

UPDATE: when I smile my chin gets uneven and pointy, would Botox help? I updated this and included photos at rest

David Yew, MD · Answer

You have a beautiful shape to your chin and jawline.   Botox would work to prevent the dimpling and shortening of the chin over time.  It will not affect the "pointed" shape of the chin.   Should you want to soften that - a good option would be filler.   (Please see the attached video - first for Botox on the Walnut Chin (aka P'eau D'orange) and the next video on Chin Fillers.

Looks like the left side may be slightly lower when you smile. could try a mentalis injection of botox to correct it. It probably won't be completely symmetric after though.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

I would definitely not treat your chin with Botox. Having Botox in the chin just to get rid of the pointy
 appearance, can cause asymmetry in your face while at rest as well as changes your speech pattern. Hope this helps some good luck from Leonard Grossman, MD organic plastic Surgery.
