Chin Dimple Treatment At-A-Glance

Cost & Pricing

usually 5–10 units at $10 per unit, totaling $50–$100. Many sessions are around $100, depending on assessment, goals, and individual muscle activity levels.

What To Expect

Quick, clinic-based procedure taking about 10–15 minutes. After cleansing, a few precise injections target the mentalis muscle. No downtime; resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

Mechanism of Action

Neuromodulator microinjections relax the overactive mentalis muscle, reducing its pulling action that puckers skin. This smooths dimpling and orange-peel texture; fillers may complement volume loss.

Benefits & Results

Expect smoother chin texture and improved lower-face balance. Results appear in 3–7 days, peak around two weeks, and last 3–4 months with maintenance as needed.

Discomfort & Pain Level

Discomfort is minimal for most patients. Injections feel like a quick pinch. Topical numbing is available but rarely needed, making experience tolerable, brief, and simple.

Side Effects & Downtime

Common effects include minor redness, swelling, or bruises at injection points, resolving within hours. No downtime is expected; you can resume normal activities immediately afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are two common patterns:
  • Cleft chin (static dimple): A visible indentation in the middle of the chin that’s present at rest. It’s usually due to how the chin bone and soft tissue formed (often hereditary). It can deepen with aging as fat and collagen thin.
  • “Orange‑peel” chin (peau d’orange, dynamic dimpling): A pebbled, puckered texture that appears when you move the chin (talking, pouting, clenching). It’s caused by overactivity of the mentalis muscle pulling the skin inward.

t depends on which type you have and whether the dimpling shows at rest or only with movement:

A) Orange‑peel chin (dynamic dimpling)

  • First‑line: Botulinum toxin A (“Botox,” etc.) precisely placed into the mentalis muscle to relax the pull → skin looks smoother.

  • Results: Begin in 3–7 days, peak by 10–14 days, last about 3–4 months on average.

  • Downtime: Minimal (tiny bumps/redness 15–60 minutes).

B) Static cleft/dimple (present at rest)

  • Dermal fillers (e.g., hyaluronic acid): Soften or fill the depression; often instant improvement; lasts ~6–12+ months depending on product and metabolism.

  • Subcision ± filler: For a tethered, deep dimple, a needle releases the fibrous attachment before filling.

  • Fat grafting or implant/genioplasty (surgical): Consider for very deep, structural clefts or when a permanent chin shape change is desired.

C) Skin‑texture support (if pores/scars are part of it)

  • Microneedling, fractional laser, or chemical peels can smooth superficial texture and complement Botox/filler.

  • Orange-peel dimpling with speech or clenching suggests mentalis overactivity responsive to Botox.
  • A visible dimple at rest suits filler and, if tethered, subcision beforehand.
  • Seeking subtle, natural smoothing and accepting periodic maintenance visits.
  • No active infection, cystic acne flare, or cold sore on the chin/lip at treatment time.
  • Able, with prescriber approval, to pause blood-thinning agents that raise bruising risk.
  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding; defer elective injectables until later.
  • No history of neuromuscular disease, severe filler allergy, or prior toxin complications.
  • Willing to attend a two-week review for fine-tuning and bring photos.
  • Aiming for balanced lower-face harmony, not one line or pore.
  • Smooths orange-peel dimpling by relaxing overactive mentalis muscle fibers.
  • Onset: changes in 3–5 days, peak smoothing at 10–14 days.
  • Duration: results usually last 3–4 months; sometimes up to five with regular schedules.
  • Natural look: softens puckering while preserving expression when dosed precisely.
  • Lower-face harmony: may lessen an etched mentalis crease and improve the jaw-lip transition.
  • Minimal downtime: small bumps/redness fade within an hour; makeup often the same day.
  • Adjustable: at the two-week review, dose or placement can be refined for symmetry.
  • Combine: add filler for at-rest indentation; microneedling/laser can refine texture.
  • Reversible: effect wears off gradually; changes aren’t permanent.
  • Two weeks prior: Share medical history, allergies, and all medications/supplements with doses.
  • With prescriber approval, consider pausing blood-thinning agents (aspirin/NSAIDs, fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo) to reduce bruising.
  • Avoid treatment during cold sores, cystic acne flares, or skin infections on the chin/lip.
  • One week prior: Limit alcohol; hydrate and sleep well to support recovery.
  • Day before: Skip strenuous workouts and saunas; take clear before photos.
  • Day of treatment: Arrive with a clean face; eat a light meal to prevent faintness.
  • Clarify goals: dynamic puckering versus at-rest indentation; agree on Botox/filler plan and review timing.
  • After Botox (mentalis): For 4 hours, avoid rubbing, massaging, or lying flat; keep makeup minimal.
  • For 24 hours, skip strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot showers; use cool compresses 10 minutes on/off.
  • Expect onset in 3–5 days, peak 10–14 days; book a two-week review for fine-tuning.
  • After filler: Avoid firm pressure on the chin for 24–48 hours; sleep supine the first night.
  • Hold intense heat and vigorous workouts for 24 hours; mild swelling and tenderness are common.
  • Urgent signs: severe pain, blanching/blue skin, dusky patches, or vision changes—seek immediate care.
  • After texture treatments: SPF 30+, gentle cleanser, avoid retinoids/acids 48–72 hours.
  • Expect transient redness or “sandpaper” feel; avoid picking; moisturize and reapply sunscreen daily.
