A dimpled chin, also known as "chin dimpling" or "pebble chin," occurs when the chin muscle (mentalis) contracts, creating a textured or uneven appearance. It can develop naturally or become more noticeable with age.
Most people do not realize they have chin dimpling unless they look in the mirror while talking or eating or if someone points it out to them. It is characterized by divots and lines, commonly referred to as having an orange-peel appearance, that can be caused by an overactive chin muscle, called mentalis muscle. It can become more pronounced as we age due to volume and fat loss in the chin area.

The best and most common treatment approach involves using neurotoxins such as Botox or Dysport to relax the muscle. This usually involves two simple injections. Once the muscle is relaxed, it prevents the chin muscle from dimpling the skin.
If the cause of chin dimpling is from volume loss, which can be the case as you get older, you may also notice the formation of lines that run down the corners of the mouth and down to the chin, called marionette lines. In these cases, treatment involves replacing lost volume with dermal fillers. This will address both issues, resulting in diminished lines and smoother skin.
