What is a "Pebbled/ Dimpled chin"?
You have what we call a pebbled/ dimpled chin if there is a dimpling effect seen on your chin, or the effect of what looks like the skin of an orange (peau d'orange), upon rest, talking or moving the bottom lip outwards.
​
They are caused when the mentalis muscle, together with the jaw bone, results in excessive movement of the area leading to dynamic lines, which if left will result in static or deepen already present static lines.
​
Aim of treatment.
​
The aim treatment is reduce the dimpling appearance by allowing the mentalis muscle movement to be reduce, leading to a more relax and diminish the movement pattern preventing development of the dimpling effect.
​
The botox injections are a simple and safe procedure, involving a small injection into the mentalis muscle so that it can no longer cause the skin to crease or fold.
​
​Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only procedure and will only be performed following our face-to-face medical consultation with a medical practitioner prior to botox being administered.
