How Can I Even out my Cheek Muscles?

 A full set of facial photographs and an in-person examination are required to make a determination about the anatomy and what is causing the asymmetry of the cheeks. The cheeks consist of the maxillary bone, cheek fat, facial muscles, and skin. Cheek implants are also placed for patients have a flat maxilla and a flat mid- face. When this asymmetry is present, the implants can be custom carved when necessary match patient unique anatomy. For many examples and more information, please see the link and the video below

Thank you for your question. The muscles you are referring to are your masseter (chewing) muscles. It is not unusual to chew or clench more on one side of the mouth than the other, which can lead to an asymmetrical jawline in some people. The good news is that this can easily be corrected without surgery, using injections of a neuromodulator like Botox. Botox relaxes the muscle, reducing its size to create a more even facial contour. While this treatment is not surgery, it does require a great deal of precision in both needle placement and dosing amount to achieve the best possible result. Make sure you work with an experienced injector with the expertise necessary to produce an optimal outcome.

A botox injection in your Masseter Muscle (along the jaw) can shrink this muscle in just a few weeks. The effect lasts several months and has a very quick recovery. You can get this done on a lunch break from work with your favorite plastic surgeon.
