Dimpled & Wrinkly Chin
A dimpled or wrinkly chin, sometimes described as an orange peel texture, is a common concern caused by muscle activity and changes in skin support over time. It can be visible when speaking, smiling or even at rest, and may make the lower face appear tense or uneven.
At JB Aesthetics, chin concerns are assessed using a doctor-led, anatomy-focused approach. Treatment is planned to smooth chin texture while maintaining natural movement and facial balance, avoiding an overcorrected or heavy appearance.
What Causes a Dimpled or Wrinkly Chin?
A dimpled chin is most often influenced by:
Overactivity of the chin muscle, which pulls on the overlying skin
Loss of collagen and skin elasticity with age
Reduced skin thickness in the lower face
Changes in facial structure and soft tissue support
Individual anatomy and genetics
Some patients also notice increased chin texture during stress, clenching or strong facial expressions.
How Is a Dimpled & Wrinkly Chin Assessed?
Treatment planning begins with a detailed consultation and facial assessment.
During this appointment, we assess:
Chin movement and muscle strength
Whether dimpling is present at rest or only during expression
Lower face balance, profile and structure
Skin quality and thickness
Suitability, risks and realistic outcomes
This assessment ensures treatment is targeted, conservative and tailored to individual anatomy.
Treatment Options
Treatment selection depends on whether the concern is primarily muscle-driven, related to skin quality, or a combination of both. Not every patient will require the same approach. The focus is always on subtle improvement and maintaining facial harmony.
Options that may be considered include:
Muscle relaxing injections
To reduce chin muscle activity and smooth surface texture
Chin Filler
In selected cases where structural support is needed to improve balance
Regenerative Injectables
SkinPen® microneedling
MOXI® laser

Frequently Asked Questions
Does treatment change the shape of my chin?
Muscle relaxing treatment focuses on smoothing texture and does not aim to change chin shape. Structural changes are only discussed if filler is clinically appropriate.
Will my chin still move naturally?
Yes. Treatment is planned to soften dimpling while preserving natural movement and expression.
How quickly will results be visible?
This depends on the treatment selected. Some results develop over several days, while skin quality treatments build more gradually.
Is treatment suitable for men?
Yes. Chin texture concerns are common in men, and treatment plans are tailored to maintain a natural, masculine appearance.
Will the dimpling return over time?
Dimpling may gradually return as treatment effects reduce. Maintenance options can be discussed if desired.
