What can fix chin dimpling?

Question

My chin dimples up and I hate it. It's not a cleft chin! Sometimes in pictures I'll see dimples in my chin and I heard Botox can fix it temporarily but I was wondering if there is a more permanent fix? Such as a chin implant?

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

Chin dimpling is due to muscular contractions in the chin and possibly some soft tissue irregularities. Botox can be very effective for chin dimpling as it treats the muscular part of it. In some cases injectable fat grafting may provide a long term solution if the chin dimples appear in the same places all the time.

Donald Nunn, MD (retired) · Answer

If the dimpling is due to overactive mentalist muscle, botox is the best treatment.  If there is a underlying soft tissue deformity, I would recommend a filler or fat injection.  If there is a bone abnormality, a chin implant may be considered or contour of the bone.  Good luck.  Donald R. Nunn MD  Atlanta Plastic Surgeon
