I believe I have a "orange peel skin" on my chin after doing research on it on realself. My chin has dimples when I close my lips. I think I also have lip incompetence, because my lip struggles to close. The only time my chin is relaxed is when my mouth is slightly open.I heard botox is the best solution for this problem so I was wondering how much this would cost approximately? Also, what is the difference between a plastic surgeon and a Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon? -Leti

Answer: Botox for orange peel appearance on the chin Thank you for your question clk225. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. In the lower face a small amount of Botox can be placed in the mentalis muscle on the chin which address dimples, or the orange peel appearance.The difference between a plastic surgeon and an oral maxillofacial surgeon has to do with the training. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: Botox for chin dimpling Yes, Botox is a great treatment option for chin dimpling or the peau d'orange appearance you describe. This is caused by contraction of the mentalis muscle (a muscle in the chin). This muscle can be relaxed with Botox injection, usually 6-9 units required per treatment. I also noticed based on your profile view that your chin may benefit from some additional volume which can be added with fillers. Often times, adding volume with a filler such as Juvederm Ultra or Volume will improve the dimpling without Botox. The Botox would then be the icing on the cake. This is a pretty standard injectable case. Go to someone who does a lot of them. I am always available to answer any other questions you may have. -Dr. Patel

Answer: Chin and lip for Botox Botox could help a little but you would do better with a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon and get a definitive treatment. Plastic surgery specialty is different path from ENT but some ENT which is ear nose and throat also specialize in cosmetic surgery and called facial plastic surgeons
