I have two dimples or indents on my chin when I smile. Would Botox fix this? (Photo)

A small amount of the neuromodulator Botox can probably relax the muscles around your chin area so that they don't cause dents or dimples. This takes an expert hand, so be sure to find a facial plastic surgeon who has experience using Botox to remodel the lower face. I hope this helps.

The mentalis is a dynamic muscle that is probably responsible for the dents in your chin when you smile. If this is the case, Botox would be an appropriate remedy. If it didn't resolve the dimples completely, you could add a hyaluronic-acid filler such as Belotero or Restylane. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who has expert injection technique to have this problem rectified.

Botox or other similar product can be used to treat chin dimples that are caused by muscle action. Of course, the treatment needs to be done precisely so that the smile itself is not affected too much.Please make sure that you see an experienced doctor for a thorough consultation and assessment prior to undergoing any treatments.Best regards and I hope this helps, Dr. Sapijaszko.

Great question!  Chin dimpling is a very common area of concern for patients. A small amount of Botox injected into the mentalis muscle of the chin can eliminate chin dimpling for up to 3-4 months. I encourage you to seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon when scheduling this treatment. Good luck!

Botox for the chin/mentalis is a great choice for softening the look of the skin in this area.  You may also need filler to augment the chin but a personalized assessment is needed.

I find that a combination of botox and fillers works great in this area.  I suggest seeing an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Yes, Botox can help smooth the chin by weakening contraction of the underlying mentalis muscle. Best to see an experienced injector in your area who can offer advice on exactly where and how much Botox might be necessary. Good luck!

Botox could do a good job of relaxing the muscles around your chin and mouth to let your dents and dimples smooth out. Botox needs to be re-done every three to four months. If Botox doesn't resolve the dents to your satisfaction, you can also fill them in with hyaluronic-acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane, which will last 6 months to a year. Please see a board-certified dermatologist to have your chin treated with Botox and be sure they have expertise in this particular area.

Yes. Botox can be used to treat or diminish your chin dimples. Make certain to see a really skilled injector as you definitely don't want the Botox to interfere with your smile. Best of luck.

abigailgreen,When the mentalis muscle is a centrally located muscle that allows the lips to "pout" and causes wrinkling of the chin skin.  Injecting a neurotoxin such as Botox cosmetic is effective in treating the skin dimpling.  Be sure to consult with an facial plastic specialist to discuss the treatment.  Best of luck!Dr. Edween
