Lines around chin (not wrinkles). Any advice or suggestions? (Photo)

Hi! These are smile lines. It is a normal reaction when you are smiling. Since you are still young there is nothing that you should do at this point This is actually a very youthful look. As you get older, fillers will probably be an option. Buccal fat removal will not help with the lines around your chin since it’s typically more mid face. If you do chose to do Botox in the masseters then it will give the face a more slim appearance and will help with teeth clenching and/or grinding if that is an issue as well.

Hi,
There are multiple things you can consider to help improve the lines around your chin. You can have botox or filler injections which would temporarily fix the issue. On the other hand, you may have a small chin which can lead to skin redundancy in the area. In that case a chin implant can help. Hard to tell from the photo. You would need to see a physician for a consultation in order to have that discussion. Hope that helps.

The way tissues of the face position themselves during muscle activation, such as in a smile depend on the position of muscles and their attachment to the underlying bone. This is all genetically pretty determined. External treatments such as fillers or Botox will not help. love yourself the way you are because there’s absolutely nothing wrong with your smile. I hope this helps and good luck from Leonard Grossman. I’m the organic Plastic Surgery.
