Dimple on the chin: in men, in women, reasons, how to remove, contraindications

The fact that one can judge a person’s character by the structure of his face was known in ancient times; thinkers such as Hippocrates and Aristotle wrote a lot about this in their scientific works. Nowadays, in some eastern countries, the diagnosis of traditional medicine is based on physiognomy, because health problems are also easy to “read” on a person’s face, even by the chin.

A very good indicator for determining a person’s character, his inclinations and talents, as well as possible behavioral problems, is the chin. It is interesting that the chin becomes fully formed only after the age of thirty - and it is then that the correct conclusions, from the point of view of physiognomy, can be drawn.

Why does a dimple appear on the chin?

Like the dimple on the cheeks, the dimple on the chin appears from birth, as do the color of the hair, skin and eyes. This is a hereditary trait, the gene that transmits it is dominant, and therefore can be transmitted even after several generations. Therefore, do not be surprised if your children have such a dimple.

Most often, such a depression in the chin area can be found in representatives of the stronger half of humanity; in women, dimples are more often found on the cheeks.

American anatomist William Jolly believes that the dimple is formed due to underdevelopment of the tissue that attaches the skin to the bone. These depressions occur in places where muscle fibers are attached to the deep superficial layers of the skin (chin, cheek) or where the skin is connected to bones by fibrous tissue (elbows, back, shoulders). Also, dimples can form in areas of increased accumulation of adipose tissue, which is noticeable under the skin.

What does a man's dimple mean?

The genetic trait in question says a lot about the character of men.

Why are the opposite sex so attracted to men with a similar genetic trait? It's all about external charm: this “zest” adds mystery and touching. People are more attracted to others due to this physiological feature.

Despite the widespread belief that representatives of the stronger sex with a pit are capable of making difficult decisions with ease, are ready to take responsibility for everything and everyone, and in extreme situations they act with maximum prudence and a “cool” head.

Girls, this concerns you!

You are already beautiful, I think all the flaws or minor defects can be hidden with makeup. I won’t address guys on this issue; I’m sure they are already happy with their appearance, and most of my readers don’t even pay any attention to it.

With or without a hole, with or without freckles, we are people, and we are different... It would not be interesting to live if everyone were the same, standing out from the crowd is cool.

How serious is chin dimple surgery?

The procedure described above is known as dimpleectomy or dimpleplasty. This is a cosmetic operation performed fairly quickly and under local anesthesia. Among surgeons, such a procedure is not considered serious and difficult to perform. Rather, it is a fairly simple outpatient procedure, performed directly in a beauty salon and taking up to 30 minutes of time.

Considering the fact that the cosmetic incision is made inside the oral cavity, there are no visually visible scars left after the operation. And dimples are visible during facial expressions, but not when the face is relaxed, which makes this procedure even more universal and desirable.

How can I reduce or remove them?

Some people dream of getting rid of them, one of them is a girl under the nickname FlowerGirl7, who turned to the Realself website with a question.

“Hello, I am a woman and I have a dimple in my chin. It's not very deep, but I don't like it at all. I heard that you can get rid of the depression with silicone injections, Botox or surgery. I would like to know which method is better and if there are other recommendations. I would be very grateful for the information. In addition, I would like to know the cost of the procedures and how long it will take for treatment? (I live in California) Thank you very much for your answers."

There are several ways to improve the appearance of your chin.

Fillers

The use of soft tissue fillers is one of the non-surgical procedures to smooth, reduce or eliminate the appearance of a cleft. These forms of treatment can have a fantastic effect on shallow pits. They include the following.

Restylane and Juvederm injections

Both Juvederm and Restylane are clinical products approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. One of the natural components of these fillers is hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid is also a natural component of the skin whose function is to help maintain elasticity and reduce the formation of wrinkles. When it is reduced, Juvederm and Restylane are injected into the skin, where they provide fullness, elasticity and firmness.

Although they provide temporary results, this type of treatment is effective and the results can be seen in 6 months to one year if administered properly.

Radiesse

Unlike collagen, the use of Radiesse as a dermal filler may not require skin testing. Like Restylane and Juvederm, this ingredient is biocompatible and safe. It is an agency-approved product "consisting of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel." .

Once administered, the body responds by producing collagen around the calcium microspheres. For this reason, Radiesse may provide longer-lasting results on small pits or crevices. Results can be observed two years after treatment.

Other areas where this filler is used include the nasolabial folds, cheeks, lower eyelids and chin.

Fat grafting

As you age, a cleft chin may lose more fat and appear deeper. Fat grafting is another procedure that aims to improve appearance by rejuvenating the face and replacing lost skin volume.

In this surgical procedure, a small area of skin is identified and removed from another part of the body such as the abdomen, thigh area. Before injection, the graft must be processed to remove impurities. According to dermatologists, this may be the best method for removing unwanted indentations.

Botox

If this trait is due to the actions of the chin muscles, a Botox injection is a great way to combat this problem. Botox injection is one of the possible treatment methods and helps in muscle relaxation. However, you should speak to a plastic surgery consultant and thoroughly research this method before injecting the product into your skin.

Botox is less expensive than other procedures such as fat grafting.

The use of implants is another additional surgical method that helps get rid of unevenness on the chin. Before you decide to have implants, you should make an appointment with a plastic surgeon or consultant.

Dimple at the tip of the nose

A dimple at the tip of the nose indicates plasticity, variability, adaptability, instability in judgment, sensitivity, receptivity, impressionability. A person with such a dimple tends to coordinate his behavior with those around him. He is often not collected and does not like discipline, is dreamy and capricious, and extremely impulsive.

People with a dimple at the tip of their nose are sentimental, gravitate towards home, family, home, parents, because they are not too independent, they like to be taken care of, they are very attached to children, younger brothers, sisters, they themselves love to take care of them . For all their vulnerability, such people have a tenacious will to live, the ability to survive, rise after the most difficult life crises, come to their senses and start all over again.

Negative character traits include laziness, lack of composure, hysteria, slowness, absent-mindedness, and optionality.

What does a dimple on a woman's chin mean?

Few people know the fact that the visible dimple on a girl’s chin, which speaks of her goodwill, also indicates unpredictability in actions, as well as making spontaneous decisions. The character of a girl with this sign is characterized by determination and willpower. A woman can be hot-tempered and even aggressive, everything infuriates her, she has sexuality, and there is always a mystery in her. At the same time, they quickly forgive offense and are quite easy-going. A calm family life can only happen if a man largely forgives his wife for her excessive selfishness and unpredictability. A girl who has mastered her principles and ambitions will be able to make her marriage long and happy.

The most famous representatives of the fair sex who have a similar “zest” are: Sandra Bullock, Angie Hermon, Sophia Loren, Adele, and Emily Blunt. Each of them is very beautiful and individual, and a cute feature on the face adds brightness and attractive mystery.

Are they attractive?

People who truly love chin dimples have the pleasure of enjoying the attractiveness and attention they generate for them. Others may not share this opinion.

For men

It is impossible to say for sure whether such dimples adorn a guy or a man, since each person has his own concept of attractiveness. But a cleft chin is still a dominant facial feature, so in most cases it will definitely not spoil the appearance of not only a man, but even a woman.

Alain Moussi, Andrey Chernyshov, Jensen Ackles and Quentin Tarantino

Famous women and actresses

It is quite interesting that some girls or women do not even want to hear about this trait, but other movie stars, actresses and famous personalities are proud to have it. Examples of celebrity women with cleft chins, which may have influenced their popularity:

Actress Troian Bellisario, singer Fergie, actress Emily Blunt

Getting rid of a dimple on the chin

Modern science does not stand still, and the latest methods make it possible not only to eliminate such a dimple on the chin, but also to restore it. There are several ways to make such changes:

Chin contouring – the main action is to add the volume that is missing in this part of the body. The procedure does not always completely eliminate pits, but it perfectly smoothes out facial features and gives a person’s entire face a softer contour.
The right type of makeup. First, you should visit a makeup artist, he will determine the type of appearance and colors that suit you, and then you can decide on your ideal corrective makeup. An important role is played by correcting and lightening the area of the “concave” chin, and using darker colors near the dimple - this way you will visually hide it. Pronounced eye makeup and emphasizing eye color in makeup can enhance the effectiveness of the concealing capabilities of the applied cosmetics.

Chin contouring

Of course, such an operation will not perform a miracle, but it can fill the missing volume of the chin or change its shape. If the chin lacks volume just a little or the shape of the chin changes slightly, fillers can be used. Entrust this matter to a cosmetology specialist; he will be able to determine whether it makes sense to introduce filler in each individual case. In general, it is recommended to contact a highly qualified maxillofacial surgeon, since the gel must be injected deeply, almost at the very periosteum.

Dense fillers that hold their shape for a long time are suitable for chin correction. The specialist himself will determine the specific filler, its injected volumes and other aspects of the procedure. The cost and longevity of filler service is always different, the price varies from 30 to 50 thousand, and the period of effectiveness from 4 months to several years, check with your doctor.

Important points of chin contouring

The procedure lasts up to half an hour and is performed under anesthesia. After the correction, hematomas, swelling, and bruises may appear. For 2 weeks after the procedure, it is important to avoid exposure to direct sunlight and excessive heat; facial massage is prohibited for 2 months.

Physiognomy: chin shape and character

Physiognomy and analysis of the shape of the chin is an excellent indicator of a masculine character:

Round – it happens in men who are responsive, caring, hospitable, generous and open. For such people, caring for others and solving their problems comes first. They are also called kind-hearted.
Angular - characteristic of ideological men who spend their whole lives in motion to achieve some high goals, striving for ideals. These are principled people, ready to prove they are right until they are hoarse, and selflessly argue.
Pointed - such a man is very independent , not subject to any outside influence, and always takes the advice and recommendations of others with hostility. The only exception can be if the adviser can clearly argue for the need to perform certain actions and convince such a man.

What does a dimple on the chin indicate?

Since ancient times, people have been interested in what each of the facial features means, since they believed that they influence a person’s life and his actions (astrology also provides some answers). Now the study of the individual characteristics of a person’s face is called physiognomy.

There is a legend that in ancient China the head of the throne was identified only by the shape of his forehead

The chin receives special attention in Asian philosophy. It is generally accepted that this part of the face determines not only the character, but also the potential of a person, his destiny and life in general.

The notch on the chin has different meanings in cultural studies around the world. In most cases, a dimple means that its owner is a kind and enterprising person and cannot live without a smile. In medicine, this feature is regarded as insufficient development of connective tissues or the individual structure of the bones of a congenital nature.

Anatomy: the appearance of a dimple is possible at the junction of the muscles with the deep layer of skin. This distinctive sign in people is observed on the cheeks, on the back, and on the elbows: that is, where the tissue connecting the skin to the bones is not sufficiently developed. You can often see pits on the surface layers of the epidermis in places where the fat layer accumulates. Both a little girl and an adult can have such a dimple.

Many people wonder why the dimple on the chin appeared not at birth, but in adulthood.

The thing is that this trait can be transmitted genetically (no matter in which generation), and in some it manifests itself only with age

Causes

Genetics

The most common theory is that dimples, including dimples in the cheeks, chin or lower back, are inherited traits. Most scientists argue that they can be caused by a dominant gene. Despite this, sometimes two parents who have dimples do not always have children with this facial feature.

Each of us inherits two sets of genes that determine the shape of our chin. These are the dominant gene and recessive genes.

The partner's genome determines whether the offspring will have them or not. However, this does not mean that all children inherit this dominant gene and develop dimples on their chins. For example, one or both parents may carry the gene for dimples, but they do not develop them. However, this trait will be passed on to future generations.

Age

Typically, as a person gets older, fat is lost and the elasticity of the skin decreases. As a result, the dimples become deeper than in youth.

Meaning and personality

To summarize the meaning of this facial feature, interpretations of the famous seven planetary types of human appearance are discussed below. They were identified centuries earlier by observing a person's facial features or body types (physiognomy) before judging a person's character. This:

Jupiterian (its representatives may have dimples on the chin)
Venusian
Mercurian
Uranian
Lunar
Saturnian
Martian type.

The first personality type (of the planet Jupiter), according to the practice of physiognomy, is associated with faces that have “straight noses, slightly fuller lips with a firm chin and sometimes with a dimple in it.” [Personalpredictors.com].

NOTE : When it comes to personality issues, there is little difference between a cleft and a dimple.

In the Chinese Zodiac Horoscope, the shape and size of the chin is considered to be an indication of a person's degree of luck later in life, such as the 60s or 70s.

Finally, it is believed that those with dimples are distinguished by extraordinary sexual appetites in their youth.

Dimple chin: men

This decoration of a man’s chin has won over not a single woman’s heart, and, apparently, for good reason. After all, this structural feature of the lower jaw, firstly, is attractive, and secondly, according to physiognomists, it speaks of a strong-willed and decisive character. Such a man has a stormy temperament; he is used to acting, not thinking. However, he is always friendly. What else does the fair sex need from a soul mate? Strength, will and care. For these qualities, a man with a pitted beard is also valued at work - he is purposeful, persistent and decisive: he is ready to do anything to achieve what he wants.

Physiognomy: chin forward - character

By looking at a person in profile, you can assess how much his chin protrudes.
In men with a strongly protruding chin, according to physiognomy, such qualities as stubbornness and perseverance predominate in their character; they will purposefully move towards their goal, and are very success-oriented.
The motto of such men is: “Only victory - and nothing else!” They are not afraid of any obstacles or difficulties on the way to a result.

Why do they appear when you smile?

Sometimes they can be observed when a person smiles or grins. A school-age girl who had this problem posted her request through the Yahoo community, and this is what she wrote:

“I'm a 14-year-old girl, so I worry too much about this! But the dimple only appears when I smile a beautiful big smile. When I don't smile it doesn't show, but I smile a lot so it's a problem for me. I just feel bad because this is not where I want to have a dimple. How can I get rid of her?

Genetics is listed above as one of the reasons for a dimpled chin. Sometimes genetic defects can occur that can cause a lack of connective tissue during embryonic development, leading to contraction of the facial muscles.

Because of this, when a person smiles or laughs, “the shorter muscle in the face lifts the skin. This creates a small depression in the face where muscle contraction has occurred, which can be observed on the cheeks, on one or both sides, or on the chin.

If small indentations form when a person closes their mouth, there may be a problem with the functioning of the mentalis muscle.

Physiognomy: sharp chin - character

Physiognomy - sharp chin:

A man with a sharp chin needs to be extremely careful when giving advice or tasks - he can react extremely negatively to this. And the stronger the pressure, the more violently you will receive a rebuff. It may even seem to you that you are “throwing pearls before swine,” but in fact, in this case, it is better not to unfoundedly insist on fulfilling your demands, but to specifically explain to a man with a sharp chin why a certain task should be completed and what the benefits will be for everyone. benefit.
Such debaters are candidates for the development of diseases “based on nervousness”: problems with the gastrointestinal tract, allergies, and so on. Therefore, owners of a sharp chin should work on themselves and avoid conflicts with others. And also - learn to relax, take a break from irritating factors (best of all - alone in the lap of nature).

Dimples on the chins of famous women

According to Chinese philosophy, the forehead is considered a heavenly symbol; it symbolizes the masculine principle. The chin is an earthly symbol, it symbolizes the feminine principle. Based on this information, the forehead is of great importance for a man, and the chin for a woman.

However, the fair half of the population tends to believe that dimples on the chin look better on men, while women do not strive to have this element of appearance; moreover, many women experience shame and embarrassment precisely because of the dimple on the chin.

According to Chinese philosophy, a woman's full, round, double chin with a dimple, slightly protruding forward, indicates that she will be rich, happy and will live a long and interesting life.

It is noted that women who have a small pit are sociable and sweet. They are quite interesting, have an extraordinary character, varied interests, they are distinguished by curiosity, interest in their own hobbies and aspirations, and a cheerful disposition.

If the hole is too deep, it may be a little difficult for its owner to communicate.

Among famous women there are many who have a nice cleft in their chin. For example, Greta Garbo had a clear blue gaze, an aristocratic nose, an elegant forehead, a smooth facial oval and a cleft in the chin. Sophia Loren, beautiful even in old age, also had a pit that perfectly emphasized her entire elegant appearance.

Such celebrity women as Sandra Bullock, who has an Oscar behind her, fashion model Angie Harmon, and British actress Emily Blunt have nice-looking depressions in the chin area. They are all charming and beautiful, and the dimple adds personality.

Small chin - physiognomy

Size , in the case of studying the chin in physiognomy, is of fundamental importance.
Thus, men with a small chin are usually very self-critical (even excessively), so adding to this a negative assessment of their activities from the outside, you can end up with real hysteria or depression.
Therefore, if you do not want to hurt such a man, then it is better to praise him once again and provide moral support. After all, he adapts very poorly to aggressive reality; he simply organically cannot stand competition.

What is chin dimple surgery?

This aesthetic operation involves making a small incision to further form a characteristic depression in the skin. After the plastic surgeon makes an incision, he begins to create an artificial cleavage by applying a cosmetic suture. Such a seam should connect the reverse side of the skin with the deep subcutaneous layer. After a certain rehabilitation time has passed, when the cosmetic suture resolves, scar tissue forms in its place. It is this tissue that will play a supporting role for the dimple so that it is in a certain position.

Dimples

So, the most attractive dimples that give a person a special charm and make his face more friendly and pretty are the dimples on the cheeks. Such signs indicate sensuality, increased emotionality and a “mad” temperament, although outwardly this may not manifest itself too strongly. Along with this, dimples on the cheeks indicate vital activity, the desire for independence, low susceptibility to external impulses, and integrity of perception.

How to determine character by dimples on the face? If only the dimple on the right cheek is clearly visible, and is barely noticeable on the left, such a person is distinguished by mobility, contact, the ability to quickly switch from one thing to another, the ability to simultaneously keep several things in the field of attention, and the desire to interact.

When, on the contrary, the dimple on the left cheek is better visible, a person has high receptivity, sensitivity, mental plasticity, and the ability to quickly adapt to new conditions. He is constant in his affections, immersed in the world of his imagination and experiences.

In general, people with dimples flaunt their self-esteem and have some creative power; they are proud, artistic, authoritative, generous, prone to patronage, and always ready to help. They love luxury, pleasure, entertainment.

The negative qualities of such people include vanity, despotism, authoritarianism, a penchant for tinsel and external pretentiousness, pomp, ceremony, and pomposity.
