Marks on chin when I smile?

Anonymous2750721Jul 18, 2016
My chin is smooth when it's relaxed, but as soon I smile, there are three creases at the bottom and lines going down the side. It also protrudes from my face, but I'm not sure if that's just how it is or it would go away if I lost weight. Even when I try to pull the fat back with my hand, my chin still sticks out a little bit (picture). What can I do to get a smooth chin that doesn't stick out? I've heard about treatment using fillers, but I was hoping for a more permanent option. Thank you!!!

After having Juvederm and Botox, it is best to give the injected areas several days for the filler to settle. With any type of filler, you will have some swelling that could cause asymmetry for a couple of days. Botox takes several days to take effect and I always have patients wait a full two...
