Botox or Other Treatment for Hyperactive Chin Muscle?

Marilyn Monroe
Hi I have had a bimaxillary osteotomy, and now it seems that I have excessive dimpling in my chin area, and I am unable to purse my lips. Also, my bottom lip keeps going up to one side.I think it is because of an overactive chin (mentalis) muscle. Am I able to have Botox to this area or what do you suggest?
