I have a very prominent chin, with pebbling that becomes even more prominent when I smile. Is it possible that I can have size reduction of the over-active muscle with Botox injections?

Answer: Botox for "witch's" chin A prominent chin, often associated with dimpling of the chin can indicate a hyperactive mentalis muscle which can be calmed down significantly with small amounts of BOTOX. It is very important that the injection is placed precisely or it can affect adjacent muscles with unpleasant results in facial expression and chewing. It ususally takes several treatments about 3 months apart to see a reduction in size.
