Flat or pebbled chin
What is it?
A flat or receded chin can make your profile look out of balance. It can also contribute to a heavy double chin area. A pebbled chin is when the chin muscle (mentalis) moves excessively and causes little dips in your chin, especially when you speak. Often it occurs in combination with a receded chin as your muscles are trying to compensate to help your mouth close. It can also happen as a result of ageing from excessive activity of this muscle and loss of collagen.
Why does it happen?
A flat or receded chin is usually genetic. A pebbled chin is genetic or can also happen due to ageing from excessive activity of this muscle and loss of collagen.
