What can I do for chin ptosis?

Based on your photos, your chin does not appear droopy when you're not smiling. Since this is occurring while you are smiling, it is conceivable that botox injections to your mentalis muscle might be helpful for decreasing the droopiness. An examination would be necessary to determine this. Thank you for this question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

This is due to your mentalis muscle flexing-- you could try botox to minimize this muscle action similar to how people get masseter botox for facial slimming.

Chin ptosis, or the drooping of the chin, can become more pronounced when smiling due to muscle movement and skin laxity. Here are some procedures that may help address this concern:

Chin Tuck (Submental Liposuction): This procedure removes excess fat beneath the chin, which can help improve the contour and reduce the appearance of ptosis when smiling.

Chin Lift (Platysmaplasty): This surgical procedure tightens the muscles and skin around the chin and neck area, which can help reduce drooping and create a firmer appearance.

Dermal Fillers: Injectable fillers can be used strategically to add volume and support to the chin area, potentially reducing the appearance of ptosis when smiling.

Botox: Botox injections can relax specific muscles that contribute to the downward pull of the chin when smiling, offering a non-surgical option to help improve the appearance.

Chin Reduction Surgery: If the issue is related to the bone structure, a reduction surgery may be considered to reshape the chin and prevent it from protruding when smiling.

Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon or facial cosmetic specialist will help determine the most appropriate treatment based on your anatomy and desired outcome.
