all about
a dimpled
chin in amsterdam
A dimpled chin can show up as small dents or an uneven texture, especially when you speak, smile or press your lips together. It’s sometimes called an ‘orange peel chin’ because of the way the skin puckers. This can happen when the chin muscle contracts, while a loss of volume may make an indentation more noticeable.
At UMA Clinic, we look at what’s causing the dimpling before recommending a treatment. Botulinum toxin can help soften dimpling caused by muscle activity, while filler may help smooth an indentation where volume loss plays a role. The aim is a smoother, more relaxed-looking chin that suits your natural features. Book a complimentary consultation to explore which treatment is right for you.
curious what we can do for you?

what is a dimpled chin?
Dimples or dents in the chin appear when the mentalis (chin) muscle contracts strongly and pulls the skin inwards. This creates a bumpy, rippled surface that looks a lot like orange peel.
causes and risk factors
- an overactive chin muscle (tensing when you talk or concentrate)
- volume loss due to ageing
- a genetic tendency to dimpling
- smoking or sun damage, which thins the skin
signs of a dimpled or dented chin
- wrinkled, uneven skin texture when you tense your chin
- a dent or small dimples that stay visible at rest
- a shadow or crease in the chin area
who is dimpled chin treatment suitable for?
Anyone who’s bothered by an uneven chin, a dent or that ‘peau d’orange’ effect. Men and women, young or older.
treatment methods for a dimpled chin
botox
A small amount of botulinum toxin relaxes the mentalis (chin) muscle. The skin stops puckering, the dimpling and rippling fade, and your chin looks smoother.
fillers
A fine hyaluronic acid filler subtly fills the dent in the chin and evens out the skin. You’ll see a smooth, rounded chin straight away, with a naturally refined facial contour.
combination treatment
Combining botox with fillers tackles both the cause and the effect of the rippling. Botox reduces muscle activity, while fillers smooth out any remaining dents. The result? A smooth, even finish that lasts.
results you can expect
- within 3 to 5 days of botox, the chin muscle relaxes and the skin looks calmer.
- filler instantly restores volume and smooths the surface.
- a natural, symmetrical chin profile with no visible dimpling.
before and aftercare
- don’t lie down, exercise or rub the area for four hours after injectables.
- avoid alcohol, saunas and intense workouts for 24 hours.
- apply SPF 50 every day to protect your skin quality.
