I have been told by a practioner that I have a strong mentallis muscle, which is what creates my prominent cleft chin and deep mental crease. I have had derma filler in my chin and mental crease, which has lessened the appearance of these things slightly but I feel my chin now has more of a square appearance, rather than giving me the elegant heart shape face I desire. Would having Botox to relax the mentallis muscle and then having filler help with this? Is that a safe procedure?

Answer: Botox For Dynamic Muscular Movement & Static Muscular Tension; Fillers For Elevating & Smoothing Static Wrinkles/Folds Some simple treatment principles are in order here. Botox works well for diminishing static (at rest) muscular tension, as well as diminishing muscular over-activity of the muscles of facial expression. Fillers, on the other hand, are for elevating & smoothing the static wrinkles and folds, which have typically developed as a result of underlying muscular over-activity or increased static muscular tension So, the general, the logical order of treatment would be to first address with Botox the underlying muscular contribution and then afterwards treat the residual static folds and creases with filler that had resulted from the underlying muscular contribution. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist injector. Best of luck.

Answer: Botox for Mentalis muscle. Yes, Botox can definitely help sculpt the chin, if Mentalis is the issue. It is a safe procedure when done by an experienced doctor. I don't see any photos, so I don't know if mentalis is what is causing the problem in your case. I have attached a link to my Botox before and afters where I have an example chin sculpting with Botox so you can see what it is like. If you are ever in Miami, Fl we would love to help.
