Condition: Pebble Chin
Pebble Chin, also known as an “orange peel” chin, describes the appearance of a chin that is uneven and not smooth. People can also be born with chin dimples or cleft chins which can really affect their self-confidence.
This condition often affects adult men and women of all ages. Over time, as the skin loses its volume, this can have a permanent effect. At Este Medical Group, we strive to offer treatments to help all our clients feel and look their best.
Causes of a Pebble Chin
A pebble chin can be caused because of excessive flexing of the chin. It can also be caused by ageing, as the chin muscles will lose volume over time. Sometimes the muscle in this area can move involuntarily, this causes dimples or a pebbled like appearance to the skin on the chin.
This condition is easily treated to relax the chin muscles that cause the uneven appearance.
