Fat cheeks!

By australian01 on 04 Dec 2012

Hi, i have fat on my cheek and my jaw that makes my face look huge. Wonder will it help to reduce my face size if i go for the Botox injection? I am quite a thin person and really look weird with a huge face. Need your advise. Thanks!

As a layperson, from what I understand Botox only works on muscles so it wouldn't reduce fat. If it is bulging muscle causing the fullness you dislike Botox might be worth considering. Here are some Q&A's that discuss similar concerns:

Can Botox Be Used for Face Slimming?

Which Method is the Best for Me? Botox Jawline Reduction? OR Jawline Liposuction?

Some people who have had concerns about the fullness of their cheeks have discussed it in the Buccal Fat Removal Community, so that might be worth visiting.
