Chin wrinkles and dimpling treated with a targeted approach in Berlin

This is not exclusively a sign of ageing. Natural predisposition and muscle activity can also play a role in younger people; skin changes may make the texture more pronounced later on.

Skincare and sun protection support the skin. Facial yoga or deliberately pressing the lips together do not reliably address the cause. In particular, I check whether the muscle activity is needed for your mouth to close properly.

Its depth depends on factors including anatomy and movement. Adding volume with filler is only considered if there is a structural finding that can be treated appropriately. Additional material should not make the area unnecessarily larger.

If you have difficulty closing your mouth, an unusual bite or significant jaw misalignment, a dental or maxillofacial assessment may be more important than an aesthetic injection.

Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces the activity of the treated muscles. Its use on the chin is usually outside the licensed aesthetic indications, and this requires appropriate explanation as part of informed consent.

Hyaluronic acid adds volume; it does not relax muscles. Combining the two only makes sense where there are suitable, separate findings. A recessed chin or a softer jawline is explained separately on the chin correction page.
