Understanding chin dimpling

Chin dimpling, sometimes called pebble or orange-peel chin, is the bumpy, dimpled texture that appears on the chin, often when speaking or when the chin is tensed. It is easily softened as part of our anti-wrinkle injections.

What causes chin dimpling

It is caused by the mentalis muscle in the chin contracting and bunching the overlying skin. As we age and the chin loses a little fat and support, this dimpling becomes more visible. It is a muscular effect rather than a skin problem.

Who tends to notice it

It can affect people of any age, and often becomes more noticeable over time. People usually spot it in photos or when the chin tenses, and those with an active mentalis muscle notice it more.

A small amount of a prescription injectable eases the mentalis muscle so the chin skin sits smoother.
Where loss of chin volume adds to the dimpling, a little filler can restore smooth support alongside muscle treatment.

What results are realistic

Chin dimpling responds very well and smooths noticeably with a small, precise treatment. Where volume loss contributes, combining muscle treatment with a little filler gives the best result. We assess the cause at consultation.
