Looking your absolute best doesn’t stop at the jawline. At Mabrie Facial Institute in San Francisco, we understand how important the chin and neck are to a balanced, attractive face. We can help you have a refined chin, sleek neck, and defined contours in this area with the artistic application of injectables like:
- Fillers for a small or “weak chin”
- BOTOX® for chin dimples
- KYBELLA® for a double chin
- BOTOX® for neck bands
- Barbie BOTOX® or “trap tox” for overactive trapezius muscles
Learn more about the cutting-edge options we offer by visiting the following pages.
Chin Projection
A well-defined chin balances out other features like the nose and lips and helps anchor both the masculine and feminine face shape. At MFI, we use filler to bring a small or receded chin out of the shadows and build structure in the lower face. We sometimes use BOTOX injections to release a tight mentalis muscle that may be pulling the chin back.

Chin Dimpling
The muscle involved in pouting and lip eversion (mentalis muscle) also pulls the chin backward, leading to dimpling and diminished chin projection when overactive. BOTOX injections in this muscle can smooth the skin, get rid of chin dimpling, and enhance chin projection, improving overall facial balance.

Double Chin
A double chin—the appearance of excess submental fat—can affect anyone regardless of age or weight. This common cosmetic concern is treated by ensuring adequate chin projection with filler and by removing excess fat directly under the chin with KYBELLA.

Neck Banding
A firm, smooth neck is associated with youth and sensuality. Prominent neck bands can appear with time, weight loss, or extreme fitness, contributing to an aged appearance. The skillful application of neuromodulators like BOTOX can smooth these bands and restore a more youthful look to your neck.

Trapezius BOTOX
The upper trapezius muscle can be overdeveloped due to tension or other factors. This can cause the neck to appear thicker and can create a sloped transition from the neck to the shoulder. “Barbie BOTOX” or “trap tox” can cause a reduction of the muscle and relieve pain associated with tight traps.
