Can My Labiomental Crease Be Fixed?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have always had the problem of the mental crease, and feeling like it causes a witch chin when I smile and a double chin. I don’t like the crease the most. But I also do not like the protrusion of the chin when I smile and the double chin. I’m not sure if fixing the mental crease would also fix these issues.

A: It is exactly the opposite of what you have stated…making the labiomental crease less deep will not fix a double chin or a witch’s chin. Conversely fixing a double chin or witch’s chin will make the labiomental fold look less deep.
