Pebble Chin and Chin Dimpling: Smoothing With Botox
Relaxing an overactive chin muscle
A pebble chin has a dimpled, orange-peel look when you talk or close your mouth. It comes from an overactive mentalis muscle. Botox relaxes this muscle for a smoother chin, and small amounts of filler can help if the chin is also short.
Key takeaways
- Cause: an overactive mentalis muscle.
- Botox: smooths dimpling within about a week.
- Filler: helps a short or retruded chin.
- Duration: Botox about 3–4 months.
- Natural look: small doses keep normal speech.
