Botox in the chin. Relaxing the chin by applying botulinum toxin (Botox).
Chin botox is used in patients who involuntarily wrinkle their chin at rest or during conversation. In these cases, small holes resembling orange peel are observed on the skin. This is usually only noticed after it has been demonstrated and shown by a doctor.
The hyperactivity of m. mentalis leads to folding of the skin in the same area (like an orange peel) and to the formation of a deep fold in the area between the lower lip and chin (so-called mental crease). Relaxation of this muscle with botulinum toxin leads to the smoothing of these wrinkles. This procedure could increase the longitudinal size of the face in search of the ideal proportions.
For better results, it can also be used with hyaluronic filler in the same area. Combining the two procedures prolongs the duration of the effect of each.

Review of Dr. Stavrov, aesthetic dermatologist in Sofia
Facial wrinkles in the chin area are best smoothed with the help of botulinum toxin. It relaxes the muscle, which relaxes and tightens the overlying skin. This also increases the length of the chin. The procedure can be combined with placing hyaluronic acid fillers in the same area, which leads to more expressive and lasting results.
