This is my issue as well. After my acne was under control these chin creases scream to me. What are options to address? I've had fillers to my cheeks and around brows. Was told that fillers will not work to address the scaring issues and chin creases.
I'd like to know what worked for others if anything.
@Felrog29This is not Acne Scarring 😉 Repeated muscle movement, loss of fat, and tethering. You need filler and botox. Same thing happens to those with smile line, crows feet, etc... The gentleman above is caused by acne/scars causing the skin to age pre-maturely. Please see a expert injector.

Well, when you have creases all overs your face + rolling scars + boxcar scar etc. it's not cute at all, and yes people stare because your face look weird, not just like acne scars.
So yes it's dishearting and hard to keep your head up when ppl just want to know what happened with your face.
Just my 2cents.
Beautifulambition Moderator I disagree with your assessment of my acne scaring. I've had these extreme lines in my chin for 30 years. I've fought acne over 40 years. After many years in accutane that my acne, I was thrilled untill what was left were these deep creases in my chin area that age me over two decades. Its disheartening to finally rid me face of chronic cystic acne to be left with grotesque lower facial creates of an 80 yr old. I've been to the best botox derm on the main line in Phila. He explained that fillers will not address my creases. I want answers from those ppl who endored 40 years of acne treatment to be left addressing lasting scars like mine.
Close up of deep chin and mouth creases. Even an active pimple. What say you?
Have you looked into adjusting your facial/mandibular/maxillar structure (nonsurgically) ? A wide and deeplabiomental crease like you have is sometimes due to the way you move your mouth. Acne scars and thus premature skin aging in that area would exaggerate the look of it. Look up orthotropics, mewing, and forwardontics. Changing your mouth posture can change the ways your mouth muscles have developed (you might want to try to decrease the amount of work your lower lip and chin muscles are doing to keep your mouth closed). Changing your mouth posture can also start to shift your facial bones up into a higher, more forward position, which could flatten out that area on your chin. Face exercises/face yoga (also dermarolling) can help you target and fill in the sides of your chin, as long as you don't overwork your lower lip or center chin muscles. If you have the money for it, you can pay for orthotropic therapy and devices (nonsurgical) to help with all of this. I'm no expert, but I have a similar problem and my amateur advice is that the lines you have could be related to mouth position. Check it out, and good luck!
Lots of things you could do. I would visit a plastic surgeon of the face, not just a dermatologist.If you can find a plastic surgeon who also specializes in skin. I live in SF and Im going to see Dr. Corey Maas, who is plastic surgeon specializing in skin. There are so many things you can do now to change/enhance your appearance, if something is bothering you change it! Dont let it hold you back from being confident and living your best life! Happy new year!
