Will Botox Bring a Visible Difference to my Jawline? (photo)

Botox - can it decrease full cheeks?
The masseter muscle, which helps to clench your jaws, can be treated with botox if it is very bulky. The masseter can be easily felt, if you clench your teeth, and feel between the arch of the cheekbone and the angle of the jaw, it makes a vertical line. The front is about three finger widths away from the front of your ear. If you clench your teeth, do your full cheeks bulge? Then they are more muscle, and the botox will help. If there is little change, the botox injections are unlikely to...

Botox and facial symmetry
Subtle facial asymmetry is not uncommon. Looking at one view photograph submitted I do not see any need to add volume on left, there's a chance Botox on the right with injections in the masseter muscle might give you the results you are looking for. I would have questions about jaw/ occlusion issues if any before Botox injections.

Jawline refinement and Botox
Botox can be used in the masseter muscle to subtly decrease their volume. But first you need to be sure that is indeed what is causing your asymmetry and lack of jawline definition.

Botox and facial contour
Botox injected deep into the masseter muscles (jawline area) will decrease the strength and size of the muscle, resulting in a sometimes aesthetically pleasing contour. For you, meeting with a well-trained and experienced injector will allow them to assess your specific needs and provide you with options.

Jawline fullness can be caused by several factors
Hello,
Thank you for the question and photos. Your jaw asymmetry can be caused by either bone , fat, parotid gland, or masseter muscle asymmetry. Obviously, botox will only help correct asymmetry resulting from the masseter muscle. It will have to be performed several times and continued if the correction is to be accomplished and maintained.
All the best,

Botox for jawline
Botox can be a useful treatment for reducing the bulkiness and size of the masseter muscle, a common problem in some eastern europeans and Asian populations. Make sure to have your treatment with someone experienced with this treatment.
