Best option to fix my deep mental creases in chin? (photos)

Question

I am currently 19 and I have had this deep crease in my chin as long as I can remember It makes me supper unhappy. I plan to go to a consultation but I wouldn't even know where to start with what procedures or injections could fix this.

Thank you for your question. Likely the best treatment will involve filler placement in order to reduce the depth of the depression. The filler used will depend on your injector. I hope that helps!

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Volume augmentation of the mental crease utilizing intradermal filler would be a good starting point. An experienced injector could tailor the result to achieve your desired goals, and using a hyaluronic acid filler has the added benefit of being reversible if you decide you do not like the results. I recommend follow up with an experienced injector to discuss your options.

Take a breath and relax. Your issue is hardly unique. A robust lifting filler, such as Restylane Lyft, works well for elevating and smoothing deep mental creases in the hands of an experienced injector. Make sure that you are consulting a board certified cosmetic dermatologist or other core aesthetic physician. Far more important than you knowing where to start is that the particular physician you consult knows. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question! Without evaluating in person your muscle movement I will just be giving rough suggestions on possible treatments that could help! Sometimes if you have a strong chin muscle, the muscle can pull upwards on the chin and create this crease. Placing some botox in the chin muscle can relax the chin down a bit so the crease isn't as deep. You can also place some filler directly into that crease to make it not as deep. Filler in the chin itself will help you get some more projection and balance your side profile better but it won't necessarily help much with the crease itself. Hope this helps for now!
