I was in a car accident about 3 maybe 4 years ago and ever since I had developed a ‘dimple’ near my eye and it only appears when I smile. Would Botox help this? Or what kind of treatment?

Answer: Botox Often Helps Dynamic Wrinkles and Defects If your dimple occurs only when you smile, it is likely that Botox will diminish or eliminate the dimple for as long as the Botox lasts. If the scar is depressed, filler or fat grafting may help. Scar revision to release the abnormal muscle motion could be helpful as well.

Answer: What kind of treatment can help my dimple? Thank you for your question and supplying photos. Since this happens when you smile, Botox may be used to relax the muscle(s) engaged when smiling. The indentation is most likely due to scar tissue formation, which would need to be released. If after releasing it, there is still an indent, a dermal filler may be used to fill in the indentation. Best of luck to you!
