Chin Dimple Removal - will fillers work or do I need a chin implant? (Photo)

Hi,
You could try WR into the Mentalis muscle. This will help to lighten it further. This may also require more filler to the area.

For a longer-lasting effect and greater elevation and smoothing, combining a subcision jwith the use of an appropriately robust HA Lifting filler would be quite reasonable.

Great question—and one that’s common for those addressing chin dimples or clefts.

Fillers can help soften the appearance of a chin dimple or cleft by adding volume and improving contour. Since you've already seen improvement in projection with your first syringe, additional filler may further reduce the appearance of the dimple—but it may not completely erase it, especially if the indentation is deep or structural (due to underlying muscle or bone).

If the dimple is due to a strong mentalis muscle separation or a bony cleft, filler has its limitations. In such cases, you might consider a chin implant or surgical procedures like fat grafting or even genioplasty, depending on how defined or deep the cleft is and your overall aesthetic goals.

Here’s a quick comparison:
Filler: Minimally invasive, temporary, great for mild to moderate dimples or surface-level contouring.

Chin implant: Permanent, more invasive, better for structural changes or prominent clefts.

Surgical correction (e.g. muscle approximation): May be necessary if the cleft is caused by significant anatomical separation.

Recommendation: A skilled injector might be able to improve your results with another syringe or two, but if your goal is complete removal, it’s best to consult with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist for an in-person evaluation. They can assess the depth and cause of the dimple and tailor the right treatment for you.
