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
Thanks for the question. Botox is often used to smooth chin dimples and I think you would benefit from this treatment. Good luck.
Botox for your chin would be a great option. Everybody is expressive in different areas of the face. This would allow that muscle to relax, so the dimpling would go away.
Thank you for your question and for sharing yourphotograph Gemma.P. I understand your concern. Fillers and Botox are two injectable treatments that can address a variety of concerns. Botox is a purified proteinused to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. When injected intothe skin Botox will relax the muscles and smoothen out the overlying wrinkles. Themost common areas of treatment are in the upper face. These include thehorizontal lines seen on the upper forehead when one raises the brows, thevertical lines seen between the brows when one frowns (frown lines), and thecrow's feet seen around the eyes when one smiles.It is difficult to make an assessment without aformal exam in the office where I can view the skin in multiple angles and observewrinkles formed with facial expression. However, I hope the informationprovided here is useful.Botox can also be used in various areas in thelower face. Botox can be placed in the mentalismuscle on the chin to address a cobblestone appearance or dimpling on the chin as seen in the photographs shown here.In this area 2-8 units of Botox are used. In this area if the product spreads (which is a possibility), it can affect the adjacent depressor labii inferioris muscle, which can lead to a temporary asymmetric smile (see below).Botoxand fillers are two dermal (skin-related) products are both very popular fortheir anti-aging features. Unlike Botox, which relaxes muscles to smoothen outwrinkles associated with facial expression, fillers restore lost volume invarious areas of the face and body. Common fillers include the Juvederm family(Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Voluma, Vollure, and Volbella), theRestylane family (Restylane, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Silk, Restylane Refyne,and Restylane Defyne), Belotero, Radiesse, Sculptra, and Bellafill. With agechanges occur in the bony structures as well as fat pads, both of whichcontribute to a youthful appearance. Over time bones move and change shapewhile fat pads get smaller by losing volume and move downward. Fillers restoresuch lost volume. Common areas of volume loss include the temples on the sidesof the face, the upper cheeks, the tear trough area under the eyes, thenasolabial folds which go from the sides of the nose to the corners of themouth, the marionette lines which are the continuation of the nasolabial foldsto the jawline, the chin, and the jawline. Often times combining fillers withBotox treatments yields superior results.With any injection, there are risks such aspain, bleeding, bruising, redness, swelling, tenderness, and infection. We takespecial precautions to minimize these risks such as using a painless technique.We also treat bruises with a laser as early as the next day. Bruises usuallyresolve within two weeks if untreated. After a laser treatment bruises usuallyresolve in 1-3 days, but may still take two weeks for full resolution. Inaddition to these risks, with Botox there is also a risk that the product spreadsor diffuses to nearby structures. Spread to nearby muscles can lead to sideeffects such as the temporary appearance of droopy eyelids or a temporaryasymmetric smile.Please consult with a doctor for specificrecommendations. Good luck!
To fix your chin dimples you first need to start with Botox, which will likely do the trick. Some people also require filler to disguise the area as well. Good luck with your treatment.
Thank you for your question and pictures. A small amount of Botox can be used to treat chin dimples. Please see an expert. All the best, Dr. Michon
