An orange-peel chin is the dimpled, pebbled texture caused by an overactive mentalis muscle and loss of skin elasticity. It's smoothed with a few units of neuromodulator like Botox or Dysport to relax the muscle, sometimes paired with a small amount of filler or resurfacing for surface texture. Results appear within a few days and last about 3–4 months.
An orange-peel chin, or peau d'orange, is a dimpled, pebbled texture on the chin that appears when the mentalis muscle over-contracts or the skin loses elasticity. It can show up at rest or with expression and gives the chin a bumpy, uneven surface.
For a practice, it's a quick, high-satisfaction treatment that often comes up during a lower-face or chin consult. The clinical goal is to relax the mentalis muscle so the chin reads smooth and even, sometimes paired with a little filler for texture. Letting the patient preview the smoother projected result on their own photo makes it an easy add-on.

Common questions patients ask about orangepeel chin — and what practices should be ready to answer.
An overactive mentalis muscle that puckers the chin, combined with loss of skin elasticity, creates the dimpled, pebbled 'peau d'orange' texture, often most visible when the chin is at rest or moving.
A few units of neuromodulator relax the mentalis muscle so the chin smooths out. A small amount of filler or resurfacing can address texture or volume if needed.
Neuromodulator results typically last 3–4 months and can be maintained with regular treatment.
When dosed precisely, normal chin and lip function is preserved while the puckering is relaxed.
The injections are quick and feel like small pinches, with no real downtime beyond possible brief redness.
Afters simulates the outcome on a patient's own photo and builds a visual 12-month plan — so consults convert and average ticket climbs.
