Chin Botox is a targeted, non-surgical chin enhancement that improves the look and feel of the chin area by relaxing overactive muscles. At our Chiswick Clinic, Dr. Bela uses small amounts of botulinum toxin to smooth dimpling, soften chin wrinkles, and subtly reshape the chin for a balanced, refreshed appearance.
Often overlooked, the chin plays a critical role in lower-face balance and facial aesthetics. By treating the mentalis muscle and surrounding areas, chin Botox can reduce visible signs of ageing like orange peel texture, tension, or downturn at the mouth corners. Combined with chin filler used for chin augmentation, the effects are even more striking and long-lasting.

Chin Botox is commonly used to treat:
By using Botox to relax the mentalis muscle, we can smooth the skin on the chin, correct uneven chin texture, and reduce the appearance of deep creases like the chin crease.
The mentalis muscle that sits within the chin becomes overactive with age or stress. This hyperactive mentalis muscle leads to chin dimples, a puckered appearance, and contributes to cobblestone chin texture.
During the procedure, Dr. Bela will inject small doses of botulinum toxin into the mentalis muscle and, if necessary, the depressor anguli oris muscles and platysma bands. In most cases, injections are placed across four injection points across the chin and mouth, depending on the muscle structure. The goal is to treat the large mentalis muscle without affecting normal movement or expression.
The chin Botox procedure involves a detailed assessment and a few precise botox injections. The chin is considered slightly more sensitive than the forehead or crow’s feet, but discomfort is minimal. Dr. Bela uses advanced techniques to treat the large mentalis muscle that sits in the chin and below the lower lip.
The treatment takes less than 30 minutes. You may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection site, which usually resolves quickly. You’ll begin to notice the effects of chin Botox within a few days, with full results visible in 10–14 days.
The combination of filler and Botox in the chin and lower face delivers optimal, longer-lasting outcomes. Dermal fillers can shape and build structure, while Botox prevents muscle contraction, preserving results.
Dr. Bela considers chin filler one of the most effective facial rejuvenation tools. When paired with Botox to prevent overuse of the chin muscle, you achieve better symmetry, definition, and volume longevity.
Botox can be used to refine the appearance of the chin and jaw, especially when platysma bands pull down the lower face. While Botox won’t remove fat, it can slightly lift the chin and neck, contributing to a more sculpted look. Some patients refer to this as double chin Botox, although it’s a contouring treatment, not fat reduction.
After your botox appointment, you can return to your routine immediately. Some minor redness or swelling at the injection site is common but fades within a few hours. Most patients experience no downtime and enjoy natural-looking results for 3–5 months. Your injection site will be reviewed at your follow-up, and we can make any necessary adjustments for optimal results.
Over the years, Dr. Bela has identified multiple melanomas on aesthetic patients—often in areas they hadn’t noticed themselves. In one notable case, during a Botox consultation, he spotted a small but suspicious lesion on a patient’s forehead. When reviewing previous treatment photos, it became clear that the melanoma had gradually developed over time, becoming increasingly visible across sessions. Despite its small size, the lesion was already an early invasive melanoma—but was thankfully detected in time. This case is just one of several examples highlighting how melanoma can remain hidden in plain sight. For this reason, Dr. Bela now offers a discounted mole check for all existing aesthetic patients, making it easier to combine cosmetic care with life-saving early detection.
