Why does my chin do this when I smile and how can I fix it? (Photo)

Question

Whenever I smile or make any movement with my mouth that is, my chin has this U line that appears. Is this fat? What can I do to fix it?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Botox or Dysport or Jeuveau injections targeted at the chin muscles, like the mentalis muscle, can help smoothen and reduce wrinkles in the chin dimple area. The aim of this treatment is to carefully inject small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific chin muscles, inducing controlled weakening to achieve the desired effect.
