How Can I Get Rid of Chin Crease? (photo)

Chin creases can be improved by a variety of means.  If the muscles are pulling the chin in a strange way, creating a band, or causing dimpling of the chin, botox can help improve this and lessen the prominence.  Facial fillers can also play a prominent role in improvement here.

Dear Millie,

Thanks for asking your question. When people have a crease due to some volume deficiency they can undergo placement of a filler to fill out this area. It is important to determine if the crease is present when the face is relaxed or in a smiling pose (like the one you submitted - thanks). It is important to see both as correction for a smiling pose may create a contour irregularity in a relaxed pose. These are general principles, but specifically for you I feel that the contour you mention has taken on greater proportions than what I see in the photo provided. Simply stated, I just see a great smile... and that is my professional opinion.

Be healthy and be well,

I don't think that the cheek creases are very pronounced. A filler can be used to improve their appearance.
