Which Method is the Best for Me? Botox Jawline Reduction? OR Jawline Liposuction?
I am a 25 years old female, 4 years ago I had fat grafting to my face to fill the area under my cheekbone, 2 years later some of the transferred fat moved from the injected area to my jawline ((I Had a wide jawline to begin with)) + I gained around 13 lbs Now my jawline is wide and I dont know what is the best method for me? the BOTOX ?? the Jawline Liposuction?? or should I consider losing more weight?

Jawline Liposuction is not a good idea, but there are other potential options
Hi Mai,
Although it is possible that the weight on your jawline is purely related to weight gain, the only way to find out is to try to return to closer to your original weight. Weight gain on the body does translate to some weight gain on the face. If you don't believe me, simply watch a single episode of the Biggest Loser on NBC. Of course it is extreme in their cases, but it clearly shows the correlation.
It is difficult to say what exactly, occurred 2...

Liposuction of the jawline trims it up great
Liposuction under local anesthesia trims up the jawline great for about $2500.

Jawline volume reduction needs consultation by a Plastic Surgeon
As you have already had a procedure done on your face, you definitely need to be examined by a Plastic Surgeon to see what options may work for you. The key is to consult with a surgeon that does perform both facial liposuction/volume adjustment AND masseter/jawline reduction so that what is truly appropriate for you will be offered.

Efficacy of Botox to treat the jawline muscle
Botox is effective in reducing the size of the jawline when the over-size is being caused by the masseter muscle. In your case, it sounds like the size of your jaw is not related to the muscle, but caused more by your recent weight gain. I would advise speaking to your original surgeon, but based on your question, it does not sound like Botox would be an effective treatment for you.

Botox, Dysport, Wrinkle Treatment, Beverly Hills Botox Dysport, Los Angeles Botox Dysport
Ok, I have used Botox for over 20 years on the forehead and face to reduce unwanted lines and wrinkles and to reduce the size of enlarged facial muscles. However, it sounds like the excess along your jaw line is not an over-seized muscle (that would react to Botox treatments) but from excess fat which will not be effected by Botox injections.
Fat transfer can migrate or dissolve creating an undesireable effect which is why I only use fillers like Perlane, Radiesse,...

Lipoinjection to face and weight gain produces unpredictable results
Lipoinjection of the fat is not a practical option. clearly the best apprach would be to lose weight. It is unlikely that the fat moved to a lower position on your face.

Botox to narrow a jawline.
Botox can be used to effectively narrow a square jaw by causing the masseter muscle to diminish in size. However, this does not sound like the answer to your problem. Fat grafting once healed acts like any other fat in your body, ie. when you gain weight it gets larger. I think much of your problem will resolve itself if you go back to the weight you were at when you had the fat grafting done. This is an issue you should discuss with your surgeon.

Botox for Jawline reduction?
Hi Mai. It does not sound like Botox is a good option for you. Although off label (not FDA approved), Botox is used in the masseter (jaw) muscle to soften a square jawline. This does not sound like your issue though.
Without viewing your face, you are better served checking in with a seasoned facial plastic surgeon in your area to evaluate your options. Good luck.

Botox does not dissolve fat. BE CAUTIOUS.
Mai,
From the way you are asking your questions, I think it is EXTREMELY important that you go to see THREE board-certified plastic surgeons or facial plastic surgeons (other than the original doctor you may have gone to) before you do any treatments at all. Botox does not dissolve fat anywhere on the body, and it is unlikely that if your lower face seems to have increased fat deposits, that "Botox masseter reduction" of the chewing muscle itself, would achieve anything...

Botox and Liposuction
Hi Mia- Interesting questionings! I think the best advice I can give is to recommend that you see a few board certified plastic surgeons and get their advice face to face. Without pics or a face to face consultation there really is no way that any surgeon can give you useful advice.
Good Luck!
