Best way to get rid of a very small chin dimple?

Question

I have a very small chin dimple that isn't very noticeable but it always comes out in pictures and it bothers me what is the best way to get rid of it or the best thing to inject ?

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​

Botox will help only if the dimple appears only when moving your chin.  Otherwise you'll need filler or surgery to correct.  All should be doable in the office.

Find a good facial plastic surgeon and the problem can be readily addressed.

Hi Gracie505,

Small chin dimple is usually caused by action of the muscle on the chin. In many people, the muscles on the left and right meet in the middle with little on no gap between them. As a normal variation, the muscle may not touch in the middle, this often leads to chin dimple which tends to become deeper with age because the chin muscle is one of the few muscles that tend to increase in bulk with age instead of shrinking.

Botox is a simple and effective treatment for chin dimple but it is important you find an experienced practitioner who can precisely deliver the injection where it is needed.
