Mentalis Muscle

In this course, we explore the mentalis muscle, a key muscle responsible for shaping the chin and lower facial contour. Learn about its basic anatomy, including its origin, insertion, and how it contributes to chin dimpling and various facial expressions. The course covers the muscle's bony connections, detailing its attachment to the mandible and interaction with surrounding structures especially the skin. Additionally, we discuss how skin surface irregularities of the chin are formed and why mentalis muscle anatomy is so crucial to review.  An anatomic dissection clip of the mentalis will enhance your understanding of the mentalis muscle and its role in facial aesthetics specifically focusing on the treatment with neuromodulators.
