CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: DIMPLED CHIN
Enhancing Your Smile: Dimpled Chin ‘Tox for a Sculpted Look
Chin dimples, those cute & subtle indentations in the chin, have long been admired for adding character to a person's smile & facial profile. While some are born with natural chin dimples, others may wish to create or enhance this feature. Thanks to the innovation of injectable treatments, dimpled chin ‘tox (often referred to as "chin dimpling" with neurotoxins like Jeuveau or Xeomin) is a non-surgical option to achieve a more defined & appealing chin contour.
What is Dimpled Chin ‘Tox?
Dimpled chin ‘tox is a cosmetic procedure where a neurotoxin is injected into the mentalis muscle, the muscle responsible for the movement of the chin area. This muscle can sometimes be overactive, leading to a "pebbly" or "dimpled" appearance. By injecting the neurotoxin, the muscle is relaxed, creating a smoother, more refined look with a subtle dimple effect. This procedure helps soften the chin's contour, enhancing both the aesthetic & the overall harmony of your face.
Who is a Good Candidate for Dimpled Chin ‘Tox?
Chin dimple tox is ideal for individuals who:
Desire a more sculpted or contoured chin
Have a naturally less defined chin or a more pronounced, "overactive" chin muscle
Want a soft & subtle enhancement, avoiding invasive surgery
Seek to reduce the appearance of a "dimple" caused by muscle activity, creating a smoother look
What to Expect During + After Treatment
Dimpled chin ‘tox is a quick, minimally invasive procedure, typically taking about 5-10 minutes. A fine needle is used to inject the neurotoxin directly into the mentalis muscle, & the treatment is well tolerated with minimal discomfort. Most patients report only a slight pinching sensation during the injections.
Post-Treatment Care + Results:
There's no downtime, so you can resume regular activities immediately
Results are visible within 3-7 days, with a noticeable softening of the chin area
The effects last around 3-4 months, with maintenance treatments recommended for lasting results
Some swelling or bruising at the injection site may occur but generally subsides within a day or two
Additional Benefits of Dimpled Chin ‘Tox
Besides enhancing your chin contour, dimpled chin ‘tox can improve overall facial balance by providing a subtle yet noticeable refinement to your appearance. It’s a non-invasive option for those who want a more youthful & smooth chin without the commitment of surgery. The relaxed muscles also help create a more defined lower face, contributing to a balanced profile.
