Juvederm instead of Botox for chin?

Treatment for pebble chin is Botox injected into the mentalis muscle. If you have loss of volume in the chin, Botox can be combined with fillers to bring volume and smoothness to the area. I suggest consulting with a board certified dermatologist for evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

I have found for the chin that both Botox and Juvederm can be very helpful and effective depending on the nature of your wrinkles.  If they are more prominent with movement, the Botox is more likely to be helpful.  If they are present at rest, Juvederm is probably a better choice.  Good luck

Juvederm can cover or camouflage depression or dents, Botox prevents muscle movement which causes creases and folds. Only a physical examination would be able to determine what is best for you. What works for your friend may not be the solution for you. Some individuals need one or the other or both!

I often find that in patients with inadequate volume or support in the chin, the mentalis muscle overworks. That is probably why filler injected into these patients improves the cobble-stoning seen with an overactive mentalis muscle. I often inject both fillers and Botox in combination treatments to address the chin. When I do combine fillers such as Juvederm UltraPlus or Voluma with Botox, the amount of Botox I tend to use is less. You will probably require less Botox if you had filler injected in your chin. I recommend you discuss your case with an experienced injector. 

A reason that some people develop a pebble or golf ball appearance to the chin can be from excessive muscle strain due to poorly supported soft tissue ( due to less bony prominence ). That explaines why both Botox and a filler may be reasonable alternatives to treat the same problem. I would decide based on your appearance. If a little augmentation in the chin area would be flattering that is the direction I would try. If you have had a poor experience with Botox in the past please elaborate why this is so with the injector you are seeing.
