For the past 10 years I've had a noticeable amount of dimpling in my chin. Also, the muscle makes a "bubble" below my jawline when I smile. I had Botox injected in my chin 5 years ago, and although it did smooth the pebbled appearance it also resulted in a lopsided smile! Only 3 units were injected, in a triangle shape.
