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

The crease you’re describing is something I see fairly often, and it can definitely be improved. Even after braces or bite correction, the crease can remain since it’s usually tied to your natural anatomy and chin structure rather than just your teeth.

There are a few ways to soften it: fillers are the most common starting point, since they can add a bit of volume to the area and smooth things out right away. If you like the result, there are also longer-lasting options like fat grafting. In some cases, balancing the chin itself with filler or an implant helps reduce how deep the crease looks.

The good news is that the changes you’re hoping for are often possible, and treatments can be tailored to how pronounced the crease is and what will look natural for your profile. Starting with something minimally invasive like filler is a safe, reversible way to see how much improvement you can get.

It's hard to know why you have the deepened mental crease. Most likely it is because you have a smaller jaw (guessing based off of the overbite too) and so your mentalis muscle has to work extra hard to keep your mouth closed, which results in it being bulkier. If that's the case, doing repeated botox to the muscle cna help (similar to masseter botox for shrinking).

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.

Yes fillers can be used in this area to soften the overall appearance of the mental crease. Visit with an expert injector to learn more. I've included a video about fillers that I hope you find helpful.

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.
