Negative consequences of chin/mentalis muscle Botox long-term?

March 27, 2022
Asked By:gtrgrl in New York, New York

I have had some trauma to my chin and have resulting issues with scar tissue and bunching /dimpling of the chin. Botox and filler treatments have really helped to improve this, but I am concerned about keeping this up over my lifetime (I am in my 40s, so this could potentially be several decades of treatments). Are there known consequences of treating this area for A long time? I worry about the impact on my jaw bone and to my smile, etc. Advice is welcome. Thank you!
