Method Unknown softmaxx:Relaxing the mentalis and the orbicularis or is muscle

[Mandy?]

Do you have a chin that might look like this?:

Well this most likely isn’t a structural issue,it’s tension of the surrounding and main muscle (the mentalis).

Understanding which muscles could cause this is important,let’s look at the anatomy!

The mentalis muscle is a skeletal muscle that is connected with the frontal part of the mandible,it’s responsible for moving the chin up and down for certain expressions and it’s responsible for part of your chin projection. The usual relaxed position should be pointing downwards and straight,if not then it might be tense.


The orbicularis oris is mainly responsible for basically lip movement,it also plays a role in how the mentalis acts.

What to do?
Massage the mentalis muscle gently for as long as you like during the day in a downward motion,this should generally relieve tension in the mentalis. For the orbicularis oris do the same except in a sideways motion,it will generally help but you the mentalis plays the biggest factor.

Important note:
This won’t work for everyone,it has worked for me but if you’re genuinely recessed this won’t save you. This also theoretical and the only person I could think of trying this is me,but it dosen’t hurt to try!

I hope this could be to useful for some people here because I can understand that such as a chin looks unaesthetic. Mandy out!

I couldn’t find any visual representation,I’ve never heard anyone do this so it would be hard.

Hey Mandy! Does this explain my labiomental fold?


I have posted CT scan here before, it's not a malocclusion or bone issue

This really looks like a lack of volume. I’m not sure if this method will benefit you significantly since it’s not really that pointed down. It never hurts to try! Also the fuck I thought you was black

A better solution is filler honestly (0.5ml) . Invest in it.

It's a soft tissue issue according to a high-IQ user on com... jaw surgery subreddit also said soft tissue, and I should try botox + filler. Interestingly I will say, the last dentist I saw, the hygienist said I have a very stiff mentalis muscle

Is it safe to apply botox to this muscle?

Reddit told me I could, I think you need to be very careful though

Yes because Botox+filler relaxes the muscle and adds volume to the upper region.

Is it safe to apply botox to this muscle?

Yes. Botox is more effective than this method.

Thanks @Mandy?

@Randomized Shame can you change the prefix to “method” I accidentally put the wrong one. Also this is very underrated in my opinion and deserves must reads!

Sounds good. A 100% fix would be injecting it with Botox, as it's a muscle relaxant.

Yeah water but not everyone is old enough to get it.
