Can I fix my strange chin wrinkles/dimples? (photos)

Question

When I smile I have these weird "dimples" on my chin and they make me look really weird when I smile can you fix it in any way?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

​Treatment for chin dimpling ("pebble chin" or "orange peel") is Botox injected into the mentalis muscle. This typically gives great improvement to the appearance of the chin. Results take about 1 to 2 weeks​. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer​

The shape and size of your chin is fine. I would recommend simple Botox injections to reduce the dimpling. Botox works on "dynamic" wrinkles or dimpling and this is a common area to receive botox.

Hi,Thank you for including photographs. The dimpling in your chin is caused by over-activity of the chin muscle and conservative treatment with botox/dysport can help to relax the muscle and diminish dimpling when you smile. All the best,Mehdi Sina, MD

It's hard to say which treatment could be best based on photos alone, but BOTOX is often helpful for resolving muscle-related dimples and lines in the chin. It's possible an injectable filler may be needed to further even out your contours, but an in-person evaluation would be necessary to say for sure. Make sure you visit an experience injector for optimum results. Good luck!

Hi Gemma. Anti wrinkle injection treatments would be an easy thing to try. I think that it will improve the dimpling and wrinkling over your chin area as it will target the mentalis muscle, which is causing issues for you.Good luck
