Question

Recessed/Pebbled chin, exploring fillers

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

​Treatment for chin dimpling ("pebble chin" or "orange peel") is Botox injected into the mentalis muscle. This typically gives great improvement to the appearance of the chin. Results take about 1 to 2 weeks​. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer​

I use a combination of Botox and Fillers to treat a pebbled or orange peel chin. Restylane Lyft and Voluma can work well in this area. It's more about skill of injector than choice of filler. Lasers/Microneedling can help improve skin texture issues in the area. Make sure you see an experienced physician provider for an in-person consultation and evaluation. Best wishes.

I would start by treating the chin with a hyaluronic acid based filler such as Restylane Lyft. This will help improve chin volume, definition and projection. After this, I would injected Botox or Dysport into the chin muscle (mentalis) which will reduce dimpling of chin. The combination of filler and Botox/Dysport should give you a nice result.

Hi, great photos! I would treat the chin dimpling/pebbling with Botox/Dysport. Average dose range would be from 5-8 units.  I would also add volume to the chin and pre jowl area (next to the chin on each side). Fillers I use in this area include Restylane Lyft, Radiesse, or in select patients, Bellafill. Find an experienced specialist injector for this area.

Megan Jack, MD · Answer

Micro doses of Botox (relaxes muscles) may improve the dimpling and filler (increases volume) will improve the recessed appearance.  Both of these treatment options are temporary and will need to be continued to maintain the result.  The Botox would need to be done every 3-4 months on average.  I like using Radiesse filler the best for the chin--1 syringe would likely improve it, possibly 2--this filler lasts an average of 8-9 months or so.  A more permanent solution would be insertion of a silicone chin implant.  Best of luck!
