Thank you for the photos, Botox injected into the mentalis area will not affect your speech when done by expert injector. Botox can be injected into these areas to create a softer look. The botox will essentially relax the muscles creating the appearance of atrophic muscles. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Having Botox injected in your chin should not impact your speech as long as it is injected into the correct muscle. If your main concern is the little dimples on your chin, injecting Botox into the mentalis muscle of the chin is an excellent option for you, without the need for filler. Speech may be impacted if Botox or another neuromodulator is accidentally injected or spreads into the muscles surrounding the mentalis muscle. Please be sure to be treated by an expert injector to avoid unwanted adverse side effects of an otherwise excellent treatment option for you!
Botox works great in this area to smooth out your chin. In the right hands, this should never effect your speech or the way your mouth moves. It is very simple and effective, good luck!
Yes, Botox can improve your chin problem. Injecting Botox into the mentalis muscle will help reduce or eliminate the dimpling of the chin and should not effect your speech. See someone with extensive experience since this area is considered "off label".Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa
Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Botox can be used to reduce the cobbles toning along the middle portion of your chin, without affecting your speech. Hope this helps.
Precise injection into the mentalis muscle of your chin should not affect your speech. The "walnut"-like appearance can smooth out significantly. Typically, you do not need to combine this with a filler. I recommend getting the botox first and seeing if you are satisfied with the results and possibly supplement with filler later. The one caution to the filler is that it is difficult to fill an area that is dynamic. If you fill an area that is only apparent when you are smiling or flexing, then you may have a bump when you are not making an expression.
Hi Yolitta. Yes, you can definitely accomplish smoothing of the chin without affecting your speech. The key with any neurotoxin injection (Botox/Xeomin/Dysport) is to inject the target muscles without injecting the surrounding area. This means that the target for your situation is the muscle right at the point of the chin called the mentalis (as in the photos at the link below). Sticking to this area will give you the smooth appearance you want while still maintaining your same speech pattern. Best of luck.
Hi there, there is a very simple treatment for your chin. You can have 2 small injections with a small amount of botox to your chin. It will relax the muscle that is causing the dimpled appearance of your chin. IF the dose is conservative it should not affect your speech.
Good question: many patients love Botox in the chin, as it will soften the "orange peel " look that happens when you contract the mentalis muscle (the chin muscle). However, after injecting for a few years I noticed that some patients that normally move the lower lip a lot when they talk do not get a very desirable result with that technique, and their speech changes a bit. It is worth trying, as Botox is fully reversible and you will go back to your baseline in 3 to 4 months, if you decide it is not for you.
Botox in the chin is an excellent solution to the "orange peel" chin as I like to call it. It will smooth out the puckering that you are referring to in your picture. The nice thing about it is that it will not affect your speech. There is a muscle adjacent to the mentalis (chin muscle) called the depressor labii inferioris, which can affect your smile if hit with the Botox. However, as long as you are going to a qualified injector, this should be avoided. I usually start with 6 units into the mentalis.
Thank you for your question. While Botox is not an effective treatment for loose abdominal skin, many nonsurgical treatments could produce the results you want. I offer both Thermage and Ultherapy for mild to moderate skin tightening on nearly any area of the body. These devices use...
Botox is used in small volumes for small muscles (eg face), slightly larger volumes for sweating areas eg armpits and in even larger volumes for larger leg muscles in spasticity. The trapezius is the second largest muscle in the body and I cannot see any benefit to having botox as you would...
While the Botox will not affect your voice or vocal delivery, it would affect the facial muscles that control your expressions while you sing. One nice thing about Botox is that you can always customize the procedure to each patient’s unique needs. In your case you may want to c...
