Botox to Reduce Square Jaw - England, DE

Its been a few days since I had my first botox injections.

The procedure was very simple. The doctor or nurse will get you to clench your teeth so they can mark out your masseter muscles with a pencil. Then I got 4 injections on each side. There was little pain, just a prick when the needle touches your skin and thats it. I was able to go about my business immediately afterwards.

Its been a few days and there has been no change to my jaw as yet, but I was told it would be several weeks. In the meantime, I am taking pictures every week to catalogue progress. I am due for a follow-up session in 2 weeks where, depending on what the doctor thinks, I may or may not get further injections (this would be free of charge)

Will update this review as often as I can and post pics too

Its always a little hard waiting to see what the results will be, isn't it?!!

I'm so glad you are taking pictures. I don't think enough people post their pre & post Botox pictures and it is so helpful to see them. I can't wait to see yours!! I'll be looking forward to your updates. :)

So this is 16 days after my botox injections. As you can see, not much change! I have been told however it is several weeks before I would see a change. I have a top-up appointment in 5 days time where I expect I will get more botox. The clinic have a policy of giving free top-ups if there has been in improvement. So will post more pics in a couple of weeks time - here's hoping I have more to tell you regarding an actual change as, right now, there is unfortunately no discernable difference between my before and after pic :-(

Thanks for letting us know whats going on up to this point. I only see 1 picture and from your update I'm thinking that is your current picture. Do you have a picture from before you had the Botox injected? I'd love to see it to compare.

Hoping you start to see more of the amount of reduction you were hoping for!

I have spoken to 4 diss doctors who all told me that you should never use Botox in that area....it doesn't work for that area you should use fillers

Thank you for your comment :-) I'm not sure what you mean by fillers? Fillers give more volume and I'm trying to reduce my jaw, so I don;t see how injecting fillers around my jaw would help. Do you mean fillers in upper cheeks to draw attention away from jaw? If so, then yes, I am considering this. Having fuller cheeks creates the illusion of a more oval face as the the cheekbones appear wider than the jaw, making the jaw look more demure. It is something I am considering......

OK so its nows been 35 days since my very 1st botox jabs to reduce my jawline.. I originally had 32 units, 16 on each side. And then 14 days ago I had 'top up' injections with 16 untis, 8 on each side. As you can see on my latest pic, there has been some reduction on both sides. Not a huge amount though. I've been told that optimum results are in 8 weeks, so will update you in 3 weeks time

How bad was the swelling?

Irsi, I did not get any swelling. But unfortunately, the botox did not make a huge difference to my jaw at all, so it was a pointless procedure for me. See my final post from 21/05/13 for final results and analysis :-)
