Does botox work for chin dimples?

Prune chin: YES: It may work well for a wrinkled chin 'prune chin' which is common following for implant removal. Excessive injection may create lower lip weakness and increased tendency for drooling so it is best to go to an experienced injector.

Chin dimples: Yes, if the dimples are the result of contraction of chin muscles (mental is and DLI). The results are temporary and need to be repeated in 3-4 months to maintain the effect.

Yes it can: Botox can be used for chin dimples, or a wrinkled chin that results from an overactive mentalis muscle. It is an off label use of Botox, which means it was not FDA approved for this use, but many physicians use Botox for off label use. Consult with a plastic surgeon with experience using Botox.
