Dent appeared recently to the left of my chin. Options? (photos)

Question

It becomes even more noticeable when I'm smiling or making an expression.. Pictures included.

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Your photos may show a similar indent on both sides, but deeper behind your left chin. Volume loss in the "pre-jowl sulcus" area is common with aging, and injectable fillers may be considered for achieving improvement. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Anthony Farole, DMD · Answer

Before seeking a treatment, find out first if there are any serious causes of your “dent”. It is unlikely anything serious is going on but you need an examination by a doctor well versed in the facial and oral area to rule out any pathology. If none is found then volume loss can be restored or improved. Most likely fillers will help you.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

this is laxity and volume loss, can happen over time with age. you will need fillers, thermage, morpheus long term to improve and prevent future aging. see someone who is an expert in treating men. start at home dermarolling weekly to tighten the skin (see link).

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, see link) should be started now to prevent further aging.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.

I recommend a stimulatory filler such as Scupltra or Radiesse.  Your dentition may be a factor so a thorough exam is warranted.  PRP may be added.
