I have a weak chin that I would like to do something about. I have orange peel and know Botox can help, but also think I need length. Will Botox add any length or are fillers my only option for this? Or is my case severe enough that I would need an implant?

Answer: Weak Chin Treatment Options Thank you for sharing your question and photos. You are an excellent candidate for Botox to the chin to soften the mentalis muscle. Although it is difficult to tell based on your photos, you may be a good candidate for a chin implant. In my practice, I like to use 3-D volumetric photos to communicate realistic surgical outcomes for chin implants. It is important that your chin is the right size to be in proportion to the rest of your facial features. Without seeing a photo of your full face, it is difficult to evaluate. If you are not ready for surgery, dermal fillers can be used to improve the contour of the chin temporarily. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who is also an experienced injector in order to evaluate your best treatment options. Best of luck!

Answer: Weak Chin Voluma would be a good filler to use in this area. It can provide you with some length and you can see how you like it before doing something more permanent like a chin implant. You will also need botox to relax the "orange peel" look to your chin.
