Is there any way to relax the mentalis muscle without Botox?

Question

I have a dimpled chin from an overactive mentalis muscle. Unfortunately, I can’t afford Botox. Is there anything else that can be done? Massages? Other treatments?

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately Botox is the best treatment and more conservative measures like massages will not improve the mentalis cobblestone appearance. Hope this helps.

Hello, thank you for your question. Botox is the best treatment, schedule a consultation to see a local expert injector with extensive experience and training to ensure optimal results and safety.

Botox is the best option to soften the dimpling of your chin.  Fortunately the number of units required to treat this area is minimal with the results lasting 3 to 4 months.

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

The best treatment would be Botox.  Using only 8 units every 3-5 months (depending on how long it lasts for you), it would cost between $80-$120 per treatment (depending on specials).

Kurt Kuhlman, DO · Answer

A dimpled chin only requires about 6 units of Botox to help for 4 months. At $12-15 a unit this will only cost about $80. I do not know of any effective treatment that cost less than this.

Hello and thank you for your question. We would always recommend a face to face consultation to get an accurate idea of treatment however in this case botox is the best way to relax this muscle. The other option would be filler in the chin region that would also help. I hope that answers your question and please always seek a qualified and experienced medical professional for treatment, best wishes
