Quick answer · What is Chin Botox?
Chin Botox is a botulinum toxin injection into the mentalis, the muscle that lifts and puckers the chin. When overactive it causes dimpling, upward chin tension and a strained look when the lips close. Relaxing it smooths the surface and lets the chin sit more naturally, improving lower-face balance. A session takes 10–15 minutes with minimal downtime; results appear in 3–7 days and typically last 3–4 months.

How it works
Easing tension in the chin muscle
An overactive mentalis pulls the chin upwards and puckers the skin, which can make the chin look short or strained, especially when you close your lips. Botulinum toxin reduces this activity so the chin relaxes into a smoother, more natural position. Doses are based on a muscle assessment rather than a fixed amount.
-
Muscle assessment
Your doctor watches your chin as you talk and close your lips, and checks lower-face balance.
-
Targeted injections
Small doses are placed into the mentalis muscle with a fine needle.
-
Relaxed chin
Tension and dimpling ease over three to seven days, fully by about two weeks.
