How long does Botox in the chin last?

Great results can be achieved to soften chin dimpling with small amounts of Botox (typically 5-10 units).  The duration of effect will average 3-4 months depending on the strength of the muscle and the dosage used.  

Thank you for your question.Botox in the chin for mentalis muscle strain should last about 3 months.



To be sure, see two or more licensed
and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make
sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these
treatments.



I hope this helps.

Botox is a great treatment for a dimpled chin.  The dose required will vary from patient to patient but typically I use around 5-8 units, depending on the muscle size.  Duration of effect in the chin is similar to elsewhere in the face, typically 3-4 months.

Like many other areas of the face that are treated with Botox, results last about 3-4 months for the chin, or possibly a little longer. The number of units needed to address your concern would be determined by your medical injector during your consultation, although since you are a "first timer", it may be on the lower end so that your reaction to treatment can be gauged first. 

Botox generally lasts 3-4 in the chin.  Everyone one is different, results can possibly last up to 6 months. Best of luck. 

No matter where you get Botox injected, the relults usually last for 3-4 months. Individual results may vary, however.  I have had some patients say that they have seen the results of their Botox injections for 6 months!   Make sure you go to a reputable doctor that has experience in Botox injections.  Good luck!

Botox can be injected into the chin to relax the muscles in this area and soften the wrinkles.  Care must be given not to overtreat this area.  The amount of Botox has to be injected in moderation and the results last approximately 3 months.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience with cosmetic injections for the best cosmetic results.

I generally inject from 5 to 10 units, which would cost about $100 or more. The higher doses last longer, but typically the effect in smoothing the chin lasts from 4 to 6 months.I hope this is helpful!All the best, Dr. Clark

Botox may be used to treat an overly active mentalis muscle, responsible for dimpling in the chin.  Treatment may range from 8 to 20 units, depending on muscle bulk and activity, gender, and various other factors.  Botox treatment in the chin lasts 3-4 months, though I have some patients report improvement for up to 6 months.  You would be best served by an in-person consultation with an a plastic surgeon or dermatologist with a keen understanding of facial anatomy and extensive experience with neuromodulator treatment.  You should discuss your concerns with an experienced injector and develop a treatment plan; a follow-up visit 2 weeks after Botox injections can also be helpful.  Because Botox provides a dose-dependent response, one's  treatment results typically improve as the injector better knows the individual patient's anatomy.I see mentalis strain, or hyperactivity of the mentalis muscle, in patients with weak chins commonly.  The theory behind this phenomenon is the mentalis is in a state of near-constant contraction to help keep closed the lower lip, which is poorly supported by the weak chin.  An exam of your facial bone structure and dental alignment and occlusion could help you determine whether mentalis strain and chin insufficiency are present, and whether treatment is necessary. 

Al3xandra,Botox to the chin treats thin depressor muscles that create the golf ball dimples when activate.  They also pull down on the central lip.  Treatment generally requires 10-15 units, and costs will vary depending upon the doctor.  As in all Botox treatments, the first time treatment will take longer to have its effect (3-8 days) and may not last as long the first time.  With subsequent treatments, the onset is generally faster and duration may be extended 3-4 months, or occasionally longer.  I hope that this helps.    Best wishes,     Tom DeWire, MD, FACSRichmond, VA
