How can I improve the appearance of my chin? (Photo)

Question

my chin has a deep fold and a dimple i don't like. it's like a ball sitting on my face when i want it to be pointier.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are mainly non-surgical options to correct this.

We can perform non-surgical chin refinement with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse, Voluma, BellaFill, and Sculptra are injected into the crease area to improve the overall appearance of the lower face and balance the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour the chin, soften the chin transition to the lower lip, and improve the chin crease.

I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Donald Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles.

Best, 
Dr. Emer

Thank you for your picture. I understand what you are concerned about. I think what may be  accentuating your crease is the fullness of your lips and the sight promenince of your chin. I don't know if you get lip filler but you may want to "downsize" your lip enhancements in the future, and you may have some filler placed in your crease to soften it. Fillers for that type of treatment would be temporary. There's no tried and true surgical procedure that is predictable to solve this issue. Many may recommend a sliding genioplasty to set chin in backwards, but I think in your case, this may produce poor contours of your neck. 
Best wishes!

Reducing the size of the soft tissue chin pad is not easy. In some cases, I advise a "chin tuck" from a below-the-chin approach. I have also used Kybella injection treatments to reduce the fibrofatty tissue that makes up the chin. Lengthening the chin in the vertical dimension can reduce the depth of the mentolabial fold.

Your photographs are limited and you don't have a frontal view.  From your side views, it appears you would benefit from a chin implant.  You may also benefit from some fillers.

Best Wishes,

I suggest you have a few in person consultations with oral surgeons or plastic surgeons in your community.
I have a feeling oral surgeons may serve your needs better, but it depends on that background and training of each provider.
Reducing the projection and possibly adding some slight vertical projection of your chin, may be helpful.
 Best,
