Can chin botox smooth dents/dimples when smiling/speaking?

Hello, thank you for posting your question. Botox can target specific muscles to prevent or weaken muscle movement, and it may help eliminate your chin dents and dimples. It is always best to have an in-person consultation with an experienced, qualified injector for a personalized treatment plan.

​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​

Hi, and thank you for your question. It sounds like botox in the chin would be a great idea for you. It uses minimal units (6-10) and helps the chin not bunch when speaking and smiling. Botox paralyzes the muscle to help relax it.

Hi there, in general, yes botox can help with dimples and indentations on the chin with dynamic movements. I recommend getting a consultation for an in person evaluation. Hope this helps a little.

An in person evaluation is always best, however from what you describe Botox may give you improvement for your concerns. The treatment is done in the office with final results seen after 14 days. The effects of the Botox will gradually fade over three to four months. See an expert injector for treatment.

Hello and thank you for your question. It is always best to see you face to face for a consult and examination however in this case yes botox in the lower face muscles - particularly the mentalis can make a big difference to the appearance of the chin on animation. I hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an experienced and qualified medical professional for these treatments. Very best wishes

Without a picture with and without muscle function it’s difficult to say precisely, but an expert can probably help. There are a number of muscles around the chin that can be injected, but knowing those and the ones that can’t requires someone who knows the anatomy well.
