Are there any sort of procedures to fill in the mental crease area? (Photos)

Question

I have a very deep mental crease an always have. I have gotten braces to fix my overbite and still have it. I included pictures of my profile and what I am hoping to achieve, are similar results possible?

Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

The short answer to your question is absolutely yes. An appropriately robust HA Lifting filler can elevate and smooth a mental crease. In fact, in my own practice, this is a fairly common procedure. It takes about five to ten minutes to perform and typically yields immediate results while engendering little to no significant downtime. You would be wise to make sure to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert. Hope this helps and best of luck.

A deep mentolabial fold is usually the result of a short chin in the vertical dimension. The best treatment to minimize a deep mentolabial fold is a vertically lengthening genioplasty. The surgery is done in the office with IV sedation. There is no change in the bite.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

There is a way to make the mental crease less noticeable with the use of fillers. The difference with filling out this area is that the filler has to be injected in a vertical fashion. After approximately 5 to 7 days another small quantity of a filler may or can be administered at the same way to make the area even more improved. I hope this helps and good luck from Leonard Grossman MD, organic Plastic Surgery New York City.
