Most people don’t notice that they have dimpled chin lines unless they look in the mirror while talking or eating. These divots and lines tend to form as we age due to fat loss in and around the chin area.
They can also appear in younger people due to an overactive mentalis muscle. As the chin is pulled up with the mentalis muscles, a dimpling effect is achieved. The mentalis is a chin muscle that runs from the lower lip’s crease to the chin’s lowest point. It consists of paired muscles with a small gap in between and helps lift the lower lip for pouting.
The most common causes of dimpled chin lines include:
- The increased contracting of the muscle can cause wrinkles and creases to appear
- Acne can also be a cause of chin dimples
- Natural aging
- Fat loss in and around the chin area
- Can be passed on genetically according to researchers
