Mental crease is extended & progressing - would filler work? (Photo)

Hi Alethius,
I am certainly not a violinist, but it may be possible that repeated folding of your chin on the violin chin rest pad can be contributing.
That being said the mental crease is an area that can be addressed with filler. The chin and the angles of it are important to consider in terms of the porportions of the rest of your face (especially on profile view). An experienced injector will be able to walk you through this and options to address the mental crease(s) you are describing.
Best,

It is quite possible that repetitive pressure from the violin neck rest to the chin is responsible, at least in part, for the accentuation of the mental crease and the additional lines, as well. Whatever the precise cause, at least from the photos, filler would be quite helpful for elevating and smoothing these depressions. Make sure to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.

Hi Alethius,
I agree that filler is the best choice for the improvement of this area. Skillfully placed filler, including the right choice of filler will give this area structural support and improve the appearance of this area.Other options for improving the skin texture are Halo or other resurfacing lasers such as laser peels (Contour TRL by Sciton) or CO2 laser. These will be best used in combination with filler.
Thanks Dr. Mona
