Smooth & Refine: Professional Treatment for Chin Dimples
Chin dimples, also known as "pitted chins" or "pebble chin," occur when the underlying muscles contract and create small indentations in the skin. While some people embrace this natural feature, others may feel self-conscious and seek treatment to create a smoother, more even chin appearance. The dimpling effect often becomes more pronounced with age due to changes in skin elasticity and muscle tension.
At Karratha Medical Centre, Dr Amir Waly offers safe and effective treatment options for chin dimples, using either non-surgical injectable treatments or minor surgical correction. Each treatment plan is customised to suit the individual’s facial structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring a natural, well-balanced outcome.
How Chin Dimple Treatment Works
For individuals seeking a non-surgical solution, neuromodulator injections can relax the underlying chin muscles that cause dimpling. This reduces muscle contraction, creating a smoother and more refined chin surface. The procedure is quick and performed in a medical setting, with results typically lasting several months before a maintenance treatment may be required.
For those looking for a longer-term solution, dermal fillers can be used to fill and smooth the dimpled areas, restoring volume and contour to the chin. Fillers provide immediate results with minimal downtime, offering a non-permanent but effective approach to reducing chin dimples.
For individuals with more pronounced or structural chin dimpling, a minor surgical procedure may be recommended. This involves adjusting the underlying muscle and soft tissue to create a more uniform chin appearance. Surgical correction provides a permanent solution for deeper chin dimples, and the procedure is carefully tailored to achieve natural-looking results.
The most suitable treatment approach depends on the severity of the dimpling, personal preferences, and long-term expectations. A consultation with Dr Amir Waly provides a detailed assessment and an individualised treatment plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes chin dimples?
Chin dimples occur due to muscle contractions in the chin, leading to small indentations in the skin. This effect can become more noticeable with age due to changes in skin elasticity and muscle tone.
Can chin dimples be treated without surgery?
Yes, neuromodulator injections can relax the chin muscles to reduce dimpling, while dermal fillers can smooth the appearance of the chin by adding volume.
How long do non-surgical treatments last?
Neuromodulator injections typically last three to six months, while dermal fillers can provide results lasting six to twelve months before further treatment is needed.
Is chin dimple treatment painful?
Non-surgical treatments involve minimal discomfort, as fine needles are used for precise placement. Surgical treatment is performed under local anaesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience.
