I have had botox treatments for over developed masseter muscles and have seen signicant results with the slimming of my jaw area. Although I have seen improvement, I have also noticed slight joweling forming around my mouth. I was wondering if it is the injectors technique that is botching the potential results of a good product or if is the loss of volume and scaffolding that is making my skin sag and thus making my once youthful face look more tired and aged. Is there a way to prevent this?
