How to Use Botox Under the Chin
- 1). Ask your doctor to inject Botox into the wrinkles in the chin area, starting at the corners of the mouth and working down underneath the chin.
- 2). Consult with your doctor as to whether or not Botox can help tighten the fat pads (jowls) around the chin, which lose volume over time, making them appear to droop.
- 3). Consider having Botox injected into the mentalis muscle of the chin to eliminate the puckering or dimpling effect that can occur with age.
- 4). Request Botox for the chin to reduce tight muscles that create the "orange peel" effect, or a very rough surface on the chin area.
- 5). Discuss any unusual pain, numbness or tingling following Botox injections with your doctor. In addition, if you play a musical instrument that requires use of the chin and mouth (such as a woodwind instrument), discuss this with your doctor prior to the treatment, as Botox may interfere with the use of those facial muscles.
