Hi Thank you for posting your query cleft chin is a chin with a Y-shaped dimple down the middle. The technical difference between a cleft chin and a chin dimple is that there is no associated underlying bone deformity to the latter There are various treatment options like The most straightforward method to remove a chin dimple is by injecting a soft tissue hyaluronic acid (HA) filler like Restylane or Juvederm into the chin area. It will effectively raise the skin in the dimple area to bring it in to proportion with the rest of the chin, creating a smooth surface where there had previously been a gap they are not permanent, with the effects lasting no longer than six months to one year so you need to get repeated .this become expensive Second option is fat grafting Liposuction must first be performed to harvest fat from the patient thighs, abdomen or buttocks. The fat is then purified and re injected into the chin. Third option is Surgery It is permanent The primary surgical options to correct a cleft chin involve either modifying the chin bone itself, addressing the placement of the mentalis muscles, or a combination of the two. Hope this helps In case you have further query you can discuss on my page Regards.

Hello. Definitely, the fillers like the juvederm etc can be used for the cleft chin to be filled up. It usually stays for 3-6 months. But the type of filling and the volume required will decide the cost of the procedure. This can be discussed on consultation and examination.
