Quick answer

What does chin Botox treat?

Chin Botox uses a small dose of botulinum toxin in the mentalis muscle, which wrinkles and pushes up the chin. Relaxing it smooths the “orange-peel” dimpling and the bunching that appears when you talk or close your lips tightly.

It can also soften a crease under the lower lip and help the chin look longer and calmer. For a chin that is short or receding, chin filler adds projection and is often combined with it.

Your visit

How Chin Botox works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

Chin assessment
The doctor checks dimpling at rest and while you press your lips together.
Point planning
Usually 1–2 central points low on the chin, away from the lower lip muscles.
Injection
A small dose is placed deep in the mentalis with a fine needle.
Aftercare
Avoid pressing or massaging the chin and skip saunas for the day.

Before & after

How Botox smooths the chin

Once the mentalis muscle stops over-contracting, the skin over the chin lies flatter and the dimpled texture fades.

FAQ

Chin Botox questions

Will chin Botox affect my smile or speech?

It should not when placed correctly in the centre of the chin. Injecting too high or too wide could affect the lower lip, which is why placement is careful.

Can chin Botox make my chin look longer?

It can slightly, because a relaxed mentalis no longer pulls the chin upward. For clear lengthening, filler is used.

Is it painful?

It is quick. Most people feel a short pinch.

Can I combine it with jaw Botox?

Yes. Chin and masseter Botox are often done in one visit for a softer lower face.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
