Chin Botox in Myeongdong, Seoul

Quick answer

Chin Botox relaxes the mentalis, the muscle that puckers the chin and creates dimpling, often called ‘orange-peel’ or ‘cobblestone’ chin. One or two central points, often 4–10 units in total, smooth the texture and soften the crease under the lower lip. It takes 5 minutes, shows in 1–2 weeks and lasts about 3–4 months.

What is chin Botox?

The mentalis lifts and puckers the chin. In some people it is constantly active, especially if the chin is short or the lips need effort to close, which leaves dimpling and a deep crease. Relaxing it smooths the surface; if the chin is also small, chin filler can add projection.

Who is it for?

Dimpled, orange-peel chin texture when talking or at rest.
A deep crease between the lower lip and chin.
Not during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with neuromuscular disorders.

Frequently asked questions

What causes a dimpled chin?

An overactive mentalis muscle puckers the skin. It is more common when the chin is small or the lips need effort to close.

Should I have chin Botox or chin filler?

Botox smooths dimpling from muscle activity; filler adds projection and shape. Some people benefit from both.

How long does chin Botox last?

Usually 3–4 months.
