Botox chin creases and chin dimples
Chin dimples and lines are most common in people with a small chin or receding jawline, often presenting as an overbite or a pulled-back lower jaw.
Botox helps smooth the chin, creating a natural transition toward the jawline contour. The treatment does not affect lip movement and ensures a subtle, natural-looking result.

What can you do about chin dimples and chin creases?
Chin dimples and lines are often caused by a small or recessed chin or jaw, which can present as an overbite or retruded lower jaw. In many cases, a hyperactive chin muscle prevents the lips from closing seamlessly. This can lead to dimpling, chin creases, or even a “peau d’orange” (orange peel) texture all caused by the constant tension of that muscle.
Often, the chin moves excessively when talking, drawing attention away from the eyes. With Botox, this muscle can be gently relaxed, resulting in:
-
A smoother chin
-
Improved balance between the upper and lower lip (the lower lip stops “pouting” when closing the mouth)
-
A more refined jawline contour
Another muscle commonly affected in people with a small chin or jaw is the depressor anguli oris — the one that pulls the corners of the mouth downward, often creating a sad or angry appearance. Botox can relax this muscle as well, creating a softer, more approachable look.
Additionally, Botox can help refine the pores, reduce oil production, and minimize redness or acne in the chin area — an added skin benefit.
Want to enhance the shape or projection of your chin? Then we recommend a non-surgical chin augmentation with fillers. This quick and effective option can provide structure and symmetry — without the need for invasive surgery.

If you have a small jaw or chin, it’s common for the muscle in the chin area to become overactive. This overactivity creates dimples and uneven texture often described as an “orange peel” appearance and the chin may also move excessively when speaking.
This muscle can be effectively relaxed with Botox, without affecting your ability to speak or close your lips. In fact, the treatment often improves the balance between the upper and lower lip, as the lower lip stops “pouting” when the mouth is at rest.
The result? A smoother chin that flows naturally into a refined jawline contour, enhancing your overall facial harmony.
When you arrive at our clinic, we start by taking photos and conducting a pre-treatment consultation to discuss your goals. Together with the doctor, you’ll create a personalized treatment plan. This consultation is entirely non-binding.
Once you decide to proceed, you can schedule your treatment. During the procedure, Botox is injected into the targeted chin muscle using a very fine needle, which temporarily relaxes the muscle.
Thanks to the use of a numbing agent, the treatment is quick and painless, and you’ll be on your way in no time.
After the treatment, you may notice some redness, swelling, or slight bruising around the injection site. This will fade within a few days and can easily be camouflaged with a bit of makeup if needed.
It’s important to avoid massaging the treated area for the first few days. Also, we recommend waiting about two weeks before exposing the area to strong sunlight, tanning beds, or facial treatments such as peels or deep cleansing.
You’ll begin to see a noticeable improvement about two weeks after the treatment. To maintain a long-lasting and natural result, we recommend regular follow-up treatments.
In certain cases such as with a chin dimple caused by an overbite Botox is the preferred solution. Sometimes, Botox alone is enough to smooth the area. The treatment is virtually painless, and results typically appear within 14 days.
Subscriptions must be paid at once in advance.
Frequently Asked Questions
