Botox to Contour Jawline?

February 20, 2009
Asked By:Sheryl808 in Honolulu, HI

Approximately, how many units of Botox are necessary to contour thejawline? I've called a few plastic surgeons & have gotten different responses. One doctor said it would take approximately 10-15 units per one side of the jawline & regular follow ups would be necessary to upkeep the look every 4 months or so. Another doctor said it would take a whole box or 50 units per one side of the jawline & just one more follow up session in 6 months to upkeep the look because it would permanently weaken the jawline muscle. So, which route will lead me to the best results of having a contoured mandible? How many Botox units are needed to make my face appear smaller? Also, what is the appropriate Botox follow-ups? Thank you!
