It would seem that from time immemorial people have been struggling with all sorts of congenital defects in appearance in a variety of ways.
There are a variety of methods in force: from folk to modern plastic surgery. But if you think about it, there are defects that make our appearance even more memorable and add charm. And some people are even ready to artificially create such a “defect” for themselves just to become the owner of a more graceful appearance. It’s not for nothing that they say that scars adorn men, but these are also defects of the skin. This means that we are not exaggerating at all when we say that some flaws can make us even more beautiful. And it is likely that in the future even beautiful “aesthetic” scars will be created in cosmetology and plastic surgery offices, but for now we will talk about such a highlight of any face as a dimple on the chin.
Let’s say right away that the dimple on the chin most attracts and interests men, since according to existing concepts in society, such a very cute “defect” gives the appearance of masculinity and brutality.
Men with cleft chins
A dimple on the chin in men is considered a sign of masculinity. Such men are distinguished by purposefulness, integrity of personality and strength of character. The deeper the hole, the more pronounced these features are. Moreover, its bearer is more persistent and firm in achieving his goals. In fact, there are quite a few famous men with characteristic dimples on their chins.
Notable owners
Among them are Joseph Kobzon, Yuri Gagarin and Alexander Serov. From foreign countries - Michael Jackson, John Travolta, Michael Douglas. The combination of their popularity and the presence of a clearly visible pit is good proof of the claims of physiognomists.
In addition, it is believed that men with such a difference as a depression on the chin will experience unprecedented success in relationships with the fair half of humanity. Or maybe girls are attracted to this mysterious dimple, but the bearer himself has nothing to do with it?
Why does a dimple appear on the chin?
The dimple looks as if something sharp was pressed into this place of the chin, and a dent remained.
The anatomical reason for this phenomenon is the insufficient development of tissues that should be involved in connecting the skin with facial muscles or with bone. This usually occurs through a piece of connective tissue, such as a ligament or tendon. If a muscle or tendon is heterogeneous in its structure and has a gap, a piece of skin seems to fall into it. From the outside it looks like a hole.
The same reason causes dimples on the cheeks. They do not pose any threat to health, but only add a “zest” to their owner.
This feature of the structure of the connective tissue of the chin is inherited from the parents, that is, the dimples are genetically determined. Even if one of the parents has them, the probability of occurrence in children will be 50%.
With age, due to the drooping of facial tissues and the accumulation of fat under the skin of the chin, these dimples smooth out and become less noticeable than in youth.
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.
There is a clear difference between the sexes. While men have thicker and fuller eyebrows, women's eyebrows are narrow and delicate. Women's eyebrows have been artificially made even thinner and finer than the brow to appear even more feminine. During the interwar years this plowing reached its climax. his eyebrows were completely removed and distinguished with a new feather, which were almost always at temperatures higher than their original position in order to give his face a less sinister expression. eyelids, natural eyebrows were even replaced with mouse fur.
But the part of the forehead has changed much more due to the transformation of the newborn's head than the navel of the eyebrows. Forming flatheads is practiced in several cultures, such as Egypt, century Sweden or the Nacidaeans. Sometimes a flat forehead was found more beautiful, sometimes with such a forehead improved mental abilities or higher rank. In National Socialist Germany, crazy theories about a pure Aryan race led many parents to transform the heads of their newborn babies by simply wrapping the soft and deformable head in rags.
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.
The eyes are the predominant sense organ of our body. Since we share about 80% of our information about the outside world with them, we are primarily visual creatures. The eye also has a strange, special control system. When the eye sees something it likes, the pupil expands more than normal; if it repels something, it contracts when too much light enters the retina through the pupil. Our visual acuity deteriorates, and instead of a sharply lit picture, we see a flickering light.
For this reason, for example, lovers see each other, an image without mistakes or weaknesses. The muscular, colored iris is responsible for changes in pupil size. Because it is composed of involuntary muscles, we cannot consciously regulate the size of the pupil, and thus the student reliably hopes how we respond to visual impressions. The skin of the skin or even the white of the eye is only visible to a person, which makes us perceive changes in the direction of vision in others, another feature of our eyes is that we are able to do this The eye of the eye is not much larger, but a woman's eye appears whiter than the eye Introduced in Italy at the end of the century, glasses changed the appearance of our eyes and became part of our facial expressions.

A dimple on the chin in men is considered a sign of masculinity. But for women the situation is exactly the opposite.

Is it possible to remove a dimple?
Modern plastic surgery can easily cope with dimples. Surgeons can remove the excess and add the missing. There are also more natural ways to make the hole more invisible, for example, makeup.
Correct makeup
A consultation with a makeup artist will provide invaluable assistance in creating a “pit-free” look. The main directions are:
- distracting makeup with an emphasis on the eyes;
- use of foundation for visual camouflage.
So, if the dimple area on the chin is covered with a lightening foundation, and the adjacent area is made darker, then the indentation will be noticeably much smaller.
Years erase dimples
Over the years, dimples may disappear on their own. This phenomenon is associated with a decrease in the overall tone of the facial muscles. For many, this is a rather sad event, so is it worth rushing things and trying to get rid of it at a young age?
Chin surgery
The most radical way to deal with an unnecessary hole is chin contouring. The point is to add the missing volume in the tissues. If the surgeon cannot remove it completely, then he is quite capable of making the hole not so deep. Being almost invisible, visually facial features can become softer. There are two ways to solve the problem - the use of fillers and lipofilling.
Fillers with hyaluronic acid
This is a gentle method that has proven itself in chin plastic surgery. Fillers are a subcutaneous injection of hyaluronic acid. It fills the pit area, the effect is wonderful. True, it is very short-lived - up to 1 year. After this period, the filler - hyaluronic acid disappears without a trace.
Lipofilling
This method is perfect for those who have decided to permanently get rid of an unwanted dimple. The essence of the method is to collect your own adipose tissue from the abdominal area. This material is then injected into the defect site using a syringe and the highly skilled hands of a plastic surgeon.
The risk of rejection is minimal, and the dimple on the chin has disappeared forever. Like other plastic corrections, there are contraindications for this type of correction:
- blood clotting disorders;
- diabetes;
- individual intolerance;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- ORZ.
Like any other feature, the pit only adds additional charm to men and charm to girls. Wear your dimples with pleasure, love yourself, feel special - after all, according to statistics, not many people can boast of having such an exquisite decoration as a dimple on their chin!
How to remove a dimple at home
At home, you can also, if not get rid of it completely, then at least make this dimple on your chin much less noticeable. For this purpose, more gentle methods are used, but require regular use - facial gymnastics and makeup.
Gymnastics for the face
A set of exercises will help strengthen the muscles and ligaments of the chin. But to achieve the effect, you need to be patient and perform the exercises daily, for at least a month. To be sure that gymnastics is effective, you need to take a front and profile photo before starting training. And then the same photos a month later. Seeing yourself in the mirror every day, you may not notice the gradually tightening lines of your face. Each exercise must be repeated 5 times at first, but add more every day and bring it up to 15-20 times. Complex:
- Exercise 1. You need to smile very widely so that all your teeth are as visible and closed as possible. After this, you need to press your tongue on the upper hard palate, increasing the pressure to the maximum. Fix and hold the force for 5 seconds. After this, gradually relax the muscles.
- Exercise 2 . The beginning of the exercise is the same as in the first. After “smiling,” you need to hold the corners of your mouth with your fingers, preventing them from drooping. And at the same time, tense your chin muscles as much as possible for 5 seconds. Relax the muscles gradually.
- Exercise 3 . Resistance. You need to hold your lower jaw with your palm, not allowing yourself to open your mouth. At the same time, straining the muscles of the chin as much as possible, you need to try to do this for 5 seconds.
- Exercise 4 . Using your fingers, stretch and press the lower lip above the chin. At the same time, we strain our chin, as if trying to pull it off. We relax the muscles gradually.
- Exercise 5 . Performed at the end of the workout, once, for 2-3 minutes. The index fingers of both hands need to make circular massage movements towards the corners of the mouth, lightly pressing on the skin.
Disguise with cosmetics
Properly chosen makeup can work wonders! It helps hide unwanted facial features and highlight the most attractive ones. To disguise a dimple, you can do both, including at the same time.
To disguise the dimple itself, it is necessary to apply a darker tone or powder to the sunken area of the chin, and, on the contrary, lighten the convex part a little. This will emphasize the convex relief of the chin and hide the retraction.
And to “distract” attention from the chin, you can do more expressive eye makeup - for example, draw wide arrows or smoky eyes. Add a layer of mascara to all this and you’re done – all looks will be “eye to eye”.

Each owner of a dimple can decide for himself whether it decorates him or, on the contrary, it is better to smooth out his chin. There are several radical and mild ways to correct it. You need to choose the right one for yourself!
Square chin
A person with such a chin has will, determination and strength of character. However, this type of chin is good for a man, but not for a woman. Usually a square chin occurs in people with not the highest intelligence.
The female version of this chin is softer and rounded. Women of this type are courageous and brave, but they are ready for self-sacrifice.
A person with a large, square and wide chin also has willpower; he will achieve his goal and will definitely win. In addition, he is power-hungry and loves to have sex.
"Double chin"
In fact, it is not a chin at all, but a fold of fat under it. The defect visually distorts the proportions of the face and gives it heaviness. In addition, it is almost impossible to disguise it (although a beard comes to the rescue of men).
The causes of this defect may be hereditary and age-related factors, sudden weight gain, high pillows and the habit of slouching and keeping the head down. By the way, to gain an “extra” chin, you need to gain about 2-3 kg in weight for a woman up to 165 cm and about 5-7 kg for taller women.
If in your early years you developed a double chin, it means that the mass of adipose tissue in the body is at least 10%. You can combat the deficiency both surgically and publicly - through gymnastics, massage, sports and proper nutrition.
The chin is a responsible part of the face and, according to Chinese teaching, is responsible for old age. A favorable chin shape indicates a good old age and absence of illness. A good chin shape is considered to be large and protruding forward. An upturned chin promises prosperity in old age, without worries and the care of children. A slanted, small, narrow chin portends a difficult old age, illness, problems with children.
The owner of a pointed chin can meet his old age in poverty and misery. Such people often acquire many diseases after sixty years of age and have accidents. Old age is met alone, abandoned by children.
Double chin
A happy life in old age awaits people with a double chin. Their old age proceeds in prosperity and comfort, they know about their goals, and make many new acquaintances. People with a double chin have a good appetite and love sexual pleasures.
Square chin
People with great willpower and self-confidence have a square chin. Such people achieve success in life and live richly and happily in old age.
Slanted chin
Those with a sloping chin have a weak character, lack of will, and are often prone to despondency and bad mood. The personal life of such people does not work out and they face old age alone and poor.
Protruding chin
A man with a large and prominent chin is a leader in all respects. He achieves success at work and starts a large family. He spends the second half of his life in prosperity and luxury. By nature, these are happy people who are always successful in all matters.
Cleft chin
People with a cleft chin have an attractive appearance, an unpredictable character, lead a depraved lifestyle, and have promiscuous sex. Such people are not raised by family; they have several marriages during their lives and each time they fall deeply in love. People with cleft chins are very romantic in nature; they love to travel, visit new places and always remain young at heart. But in old age, they remain abandoned alone and experience financial problems. If the chin is cleft and there is a dimple on it, then this indicates a more serious person who is able to save his family, despite betrayals on his part. Harmony and love will reign in the family, the partner will be faithful in marriage.
Folk signs
For some reason, signs about the chin always begin with the fact that it itches. Let's stop thinking about this fact and see what the wisdom of our ancestors brings to us. It turns out that if a girl’s chin itches, then this is a clear sign of upcoming love affairs. If a man’s chin itches, then he will soon meet a girl who he will like at first sight, but... very soon he will understand that she is completely uninteresting to him. As soon as the chin of a person connected by marriage begins to itch, this may indicate an upcoming new stage in life. It will be marked either by a short-term love for someone or a new relationship between spouses.
There is a sign that a long illness is preceded by severe itching in the chin area, and the illness will overtake someone close to you. But if you notice another person scratching his chin, then you will undoubtedly receive a promotion or receive good news.
A few memories...
As a child, we often rode the subway, and my mother played the same game with me. She told me in my ear to pay attention to some person, and the two of us thought about who he was, what he worked for, whether he was married or not, where he was going... The one who noticed the most small details in his appearance and clothing style won. What did this game give me in the future? Now I have a good understanding of people and constantly notice what many do not see.
You can try playing this way with your children, you will like it. Each person has something different: a scar, freckles or dimples on the cheeks. A dimple in the chin is usually inherited and can haunt entire generations.
All innate external characteristics affect a person’s temperament, his character and even his position in society. It’s unfortunate, but in our country, like nowhere else in the world, people are judged by clothing and appearance, social status, and often genetics plays an important role here.
