Chin dimples only when mouth is closed, will putting Botox in the mentalis muscle make me unable to close my mouth?

Asked By:realisticperfectionist in Louisiana, LA

I have a genetically under-developed lower jaw, and because of that I have to put effort into keeping my mouth closed (I'm literally drawing my lower lip up to 'close' so my lips are together). However, doing so causes my chin to dimple. I know botox is a great solution, but will this make it impossible to close my lips together?
