Question

Hi there I’ve had these dimples in my chin since I was little but they’ve become more prominent as I’ve got older. I’m 27 now. Are these dimples or wrinkles?

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​

Thank you for your question! This looks like the muscle in your chin is causing a dimpling effect when you smile. You can do some botox in the mentalis muscle to minimize this dimpling effect! Hope this helps!

Hello!Those could be accentuating their appearance due to the age, as we get older the elasticity of the skin and the volume of the fat tissue decrease. They can be fixed with fillers.
