What kind of treatment will permanently get rid of 'pebbly' or cobblestone chin?

StingerDec 3, 2013
I'm still in my late teens but I've noticed that I have what people call a cobblestone chin. Coupled with a few clogged pores in that area makes it look even worse. I've heard Botox is the best treatment for this problem, but what I'm looking for is a permanent fix. Or will the muscles on the chin eventually weaken if I inject Botox regularly?

Hi,I'm sorry to hear that you noticed marionette lines develop post masseter injection. Yes, this can happen if you had significant reduction in the jaw with Botox. The musculature that was supporting the skin is now smaller, therefore there is increased skin bunching that can occur around the...

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. I do want to let you know that this will wear off and eventually go away. Sometimes smile muscles are injected to reduce the pull that the cheeks have when a person smiles. It will soften over time.

Botox has not been found to cause acne or excessive production of skin oil (sebum). It is only designed to minimize and eliminate the dynamic wrinkles targeted.
