Is there any natural way to remove or lessen a cleft chin? (Photo)

Question

My chin in my profile makes a sort of > shape and I hate it, but IDK if I could afford surgery.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Monica Boen, MD · Answer

The line you are referring to is known as the labiomental crease. The best treatment to reduce its appearance in a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler. The filler is injected into the dermal layers to smooth away the line from the inside out. This procedure does require precision and expertise in terms of needle placement and dosing. Make sure the doctor you choose for your procedure is board certified with extensive training in filler treatments to ensure an optimal outcome.

Thank you for your question and for including a picture! This area responds very well to dermal fillers that are Hyaluronic Acid based (ex: Juvederm, Restylane) which can last you about a year. For longer lasting results I like using Bellafill (this filler is made of collagen combined with a collagen stimulating agent). Bellafill is FDA approved to last 5 years and is considered more of an injectable "implant."  Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxylapatite) is also a longer lasting alternative. Great question and I hope this helps!  Dr. Dima

Dear awyiss,
Generally speaking, dermal fillers are a great option for face contouring. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

This is known as the labiomental crease.  It can be reduced with the injection of Hyaluronic acid fillers. Results can last up to a year but I would recommend a review at about 9 months.

I would recommend a consultation first as in some cases we also treat the chin with Botulinum toxin.
