Practice of Dr Thomas Ackermann

Smoothing a strawberry chin (Botox).
For an even, soft chin contour.

Uneven dimples, wrinkles or a “cobblestone relief” on the chin are caused by an overactive chin muscle. With targeted, minimal relaxation, we smooth this structure. As a specialist, I inject so precisely that your smile, your speech and your natural facial expressions around the mouth are preserved 100%.

The result: harmonious and smooth.

Transparent medical treatment according to GOÄ from €250.

Premium medical standard:

  • Maximum precision: Targeted relaxation of the m. mentalis
  • Low pain: Finest Nanosoft needles for sensitive tissue
  • Specialist safety: No risk to adjacent lip muscles

Description

Medical precision for a harmonious profile

An uneven chin area often distracts from your actual facial expression. In my private practice in Herzogenaurach, I follow a purely medical and scientific approach: we don’t just “blindly” smooth the chin, but analyze your individual muscle anatomy in the lower third of the face.

Many of our female patients from Erlangen and Nuremberg appreciate that we work with minimal dosages. The goal is a soft, relaxed chin contour that blends perfectly with the rest of your face.

Deep dive: How botulinum toxin works on the chin

The so‑called strawberry or cobblestone chin is caused by unconscious hyperactivity of the chin muscle (musculus mentalis). When this muscle contracts, it pulls the overlying skin inward, creating a dimpled appearance. We use a highly purified protein that gently inhibits this signal transmission.

  • Smoothing: The muscle relaxes, the irregular dimples disappear, and the skin becomes visibly more even.
  • Profile optimization: Relaxing this muscle often causes the chin to fall slightly forward in a softer way, harmonizing the side profile.
  • Prevention: A permanent hardening of the tissue in this area is effectively prevented.

The “safety first” standard with a specialist

The chin area is anatomically demanding, as important muscles for oral motor function intersect here. As a specialist in anesthesiology, I know these structures in detail. Through precise, targeted injections, we ensure that only the chin muscle is treated and that your ability to speak, laugh, or drink is in no way impaired. We use ultra-fine special needles (Nanosoft), so the brief pricks are barely noticeable.

Frequently asked questions about chin smoothing

+ Will my ability to speak or laugh be affected?
No, absolutely not. This is the main concern with treatments in the lower facial area. Thanks to our precise, specialist localization of the M. mentalis, the adjacent lip muscles remain completely untouched. Your mouth expressions remain 100% natural.
+ Can this treatment be combined with hyaluronic acid?
Yes, it is actually one of the most popular combinations (chin and jawline contouring). First, we relax the muscle so that the chin becomes soft. In a later session, we can then gently build up or shape the chin with hyaluronic acid if needed, to perfectly harmonize your side profile.
+ When will I see the result, and how long does it last?
The muscle-relaxing effect starts to develop gently after about 2 to 4 days. The final, even end result is achieved after around 14 days. The smoothing effect usually lasts between 3 and 6 months.
