Botox for Dimpled Chin
The Specifics
What is a Botox® for dimpled chin procedure?
Botox® by Allergan is the most ubiquitous form of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) with over 80 percent of the market share. Botox® utilizes a unique combination of protective proteins to achieve their formulation. Botulinum toxin type A is found in numerous other commercially available neurotoxin formulations (such as Jeuveau®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®).
Where to Use Neurotoxin vs. Filler
The appearance of a persistently dimpled chin (cleft chin) can be caused by an inappropriately contracted mentalis muscle. Botox® works to block the nerve signals telling the mentalis muscle to contract, forcing it to relax and relieving the dimpled appearance.
What cosmetic concerns does a Botox® for dimpled chin procedure treat?
Who is the ideal candidate for a Botox® for dimpled chin procedure?
Botox® for a dimpled chin is ideal for individuals looking for a temporary, non-invasive correction to the rough, dimpled appearance of their chin. Botox® is not recommended for those under 18, women who are pregnant or nursing, anyone with an allergy to the components of Botox®, or those with certain chronic medical conditions.
What is the average recovery associated with a Botox® for dimpled chin procedure?
Most patients experience very few side effects lasting no more than one day. Minor swelling, pain, and redness resolve almost immediately after the injections. Many candidates resume normal activities directly after the injections.

More serious and less common complications include muscle spasms or severe muscle weakness, hoarseness and difficulty breathing. Severe allergic reactions can occur.
What can someone expect from the results of a Botox® for dimpled chin procedure?
Botox® results are temporary, and usually first become noticeable after three to five days. Multiple treatments will be needed and full results will develop over four to six weeks. Maintenance treatments will be needed every eight months.
