What would the best intervention for these divots be? I am 44 years old. I didn’t have this sagging and these divots until the last year. Thank you very much.

Answer: How to fix Sunken dimples around mouth and chin Hello 44 year old. I feel you. You wake up one day and suddenly you have aging issues that weren't there last week or a year ago. I see these dimples every week when patients come in for Botox as a new patient and I ask them if anyone has ever given them Botox in their lower face. They usually say "No. I didn't know you could do that." And I say, "Yes. It can make a world of difference, using only 10 Units." You need some where those dimples are to prevent the pulling in of your DAO muscles, and some chin Botox to prevent the pulling in of your mentalis muscle. Then after 2 weeks have an assessment for some volume replacement with a bit of filler so that your lower face will match your beautiful upper face! Good luck.

Answer: Divots Along Chin Hi, I reviewed your question and photos. Thank you for sending these in. These divots are a normal part of the aging process and can happen due to elasticity (stretchiness of skin) loss over time. Also, the anatomic variations by which your muscles attach in your face can also make you prone to dimples and divots. My recommendation is the use of a conservative amount of filler to hide the shadows caused by volume loss. You have to be careful in this area to not overfill, as this can cause a "chewing on tobacco" look. I would seek a facial plastic who has intricate knowledge of facial anatomy and understands the appropriate filler for that area. Happy to help anytime! Dr. Rana.
