I've had a two really bad experiences with Botox to treat a pebble or cobblestone chin. My friend has the same issue and says she had one syringe of juvederm placed in her chin and it smoothed out her wrinkles without the need for Botox. Is this true? Can I achieve a more smooth chin with juvederm instead of Botox? Botox near the mouth area has too many risks invovled and I'd rather not use it anymore. The only issue is my wrinkles are more apparent when I eat/talk.

Answer: Botox and filler injection for chin augmentation 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.

Answer: Botox or juvederm 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.
