Chin hole

Are you bothered by a visible chin hole or an 'orange peel' structure of the chin? With a targeted treatment with botulinum toxin the chin can be subtly softened, making the surface appear smoother and calmer.

At Xavier Clinics we perform this treatment with a very precise and low dosage, so that the natural facial expression is preserved and the chin looks softer without changing volume.

What is a chin dimple?

A chin dimple is usually caused by overactivity of the mentalis muscle. When this muscle contracts too strongly, the skin of the chin can:

  • Showing a dimple or hole

  • Getting an 'orange peel' texture

  • Looking tense or restless

  • Make the profile appear less tight

This can be visible both at rest and when speaking or laughing.

How does botulinum toxin work for a chin dimple?

By injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin into the mentalis muscle:

  • Relaxes the muscle

  • The skin becomes smoother

  • Reduces pit formation

  • Makes the chin look softer and smoother

The treatment does not change the shape of the chin, but improves the skin structure and appearance.

  • Extensive consultation and muscle analysis

  • Targeted and subtle injection

  • Low, precise dosing

  • Preservation of natural facial expressions

  • Safe, medically sound implementation

Goal of treatment:
A calmer, smoother chin without loss of expression.

The effect becomes visible after 3 to 7 days, with optimal results around 10 to 14 days. The operation lasts on average 3 to 4 months On.

Consultation with the doctor

Before all treatments, a consultation is scheduled. During this consultation, the doctor will listen to your wishes and explore the options available to achieve them. The doctor will thoroughly inform you about the pre- and aftercare, the expected results, any risks, and the recovery process for the chosen treatment.

The treatment

Once you've chosen to undergo treatment with us, we'll ask you to complete a medical questionnaire and sign a treatment agreement beforehand. If you take a lot of medication, please bring your medication list to your appointment.

Photos will be taken of you both before and after the treatment for your medical records. In some cases, the skin is locally anesthetized with a numbing cream or anesthetic solution before the treatment.

Aftercare

After the treatment, you will receive an aftercare form by email. You do not need to stay at the clinic and can go home immediately. It is common for the skin to be red and swollen after the treatment, and sometimes some bruising may occur. These side effects will disappear on their own. It is important that you cool the treated area well with the cool pack you received, if advised. If you experience severe bruising, we recommend applying Arnica cream to the treated area.

It is recommended that you avoid applying makeup to the treated areas for the first four hours after treatment. Exposure to intense heat (sun, sauna, or tanning bed) is also discouraged for one week after treatment. We advise against having a facial for two weeks after treatment. You can assess the final result after two weeks.

If you have any questions about your recovery, please feel free to contact us.

Risks

The risk of complications is very small. As with any procedure, there is a small risk of infection or allergy.
