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!

Answer: Botox Units Needed to Slim Jawline Varies by Patient When slimming the jawline, Botox is injected into the masseter muscle to relax it. How much Botox you need will depend on how developed that muscle is. However, if you are expecting the jaw to be more contoured or lifted, I reiterate my colleague's remarks that Botox will not do that. It can only make a heavy jawline look less bulky. As for follow-up treatments, Botox generally wears off within three to six months – no matter how much is injected. In patients that need narrowling or shrinking of large masseters muscles, i will use 50 units of Botox. You need an in-person consult to determine what's best for you and how much it will cost. I hope this helps.

Answer: Masseter Botox injections Depending on the physical exam, I normally use 15 - 35 units of Botox on each side. It is easy to add more if the desired result is not achieved. In addition, I tend to use weaker doses when patients return because they start to see the effects wear off.

Answer: It depends on your masseter muscles Botox for the masseter achieves temporary results that last a few months. The exact dosing for your masseter reduction can be determined in consultation with your cosmetic physician, as it is important to see how strong your muscles are with an in-person evaluation. However, to give you an idea, you may require approximately 30 units of Botox per side. Multiply 30 with the average cost of a Botox unit, which would range from $300-$400.
