How do I go about fixing mental creases? (Photo)

The mental crease can be softened, or specific fine lines can be filled, using a dermal filler. I generally use hyaluronic acid based fillers like those in the Juvederm family for this issue, but there are many great options available. Be sure to see an expert physician injector.All the best,

I have improved many a mental crease using thicker/firmer (higher G') fillers such as Juvederm Voluma & Volift, as well as Restylane Lyft and Radiesse. While filler choice is important,  proper injection technique and knowledge of anatomy is actually much more important ; make sure you are injected by a highly trained and experienced physician injector such as a dermatologist for optimal results and safety.

A combination treatment of Botox and Filler is also a good way to target static wrinkles and dynamic wrinkles. Next step for you is to schedule a consultation with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss your options and goals. Best wishes

Thanks for sharing your question and photos. The mental crease could be softened using a hyaluronic acid based filler like Restylane Refyne.  

Its a subtle line, and if you've only just noticed it, the chances are nobody else has. If youre very keen on smoothing it out however, then it would be quite easy to add some filler to that area with minimal issues. Filler can last 1-2 years depending on the type, and can be dissolved if there are any issues with it.

Dear mentalcrease95:Looking at your photo I would recommend you see an expert injector for filling of your melomental crease with a dermal filler. All the best.

Thanks for your question.  Based on the picture I would recommend a little dermal filler on the right side of the mental crease.  This would help to "pop" it out and make it more even with the left side.  Your advantage is that you are young and would most likely have vigorous collagen response to the filler and may not to repeat it as often as an older patient.  Another option is botox to the mentalis muscle to prevent contraction of this muscle pulling up the chin and aggravating/deepening that line.  It is hard to tell with out seeing you chin action, however, to see if it would help.
I would not recommend anything more aggressive, such aa surgical procedure.  Less aggressive treatments such as collagen stimulation lasers/radiofreguency would help but the would not give you enough volume to lift that right side up to match the left.
Hope this s helpful information.  Best regards,
Dr. Amy

Hello!
You look like a great candidate for filler in the mental crease. A soft jelly product is injected to help "tent" up the areas that are lacking in volume. This causes less shadowing around the chin improving the appearance. The results usually last 1 year and it is a quick outpatient procedure.
Best of Luck!
