[ARTICLES] The “Witch’s Chin” That Becomes Prominent When Smiling—Restoring Natural Expression Through Mentalis Muscle Repositioning

The so-called “witch’s chin,” a condition in which the chin appears excessively elongated, pointed, or pulled downward when smiling, is not merely a cosmetic concern. In many cases, it originates from abnormal tension and misalignment of the mentalis (chin) muscle. While it may be unnoticeable at rest, facial expressions such as smiling or speaking can cause the chin to sink inward or be drawn downward, a result of overactivity of the mentalis muscle and imbalance with surrounding facial muscles.

It's most important to find the facial contours that best suit you.
