How can you tell if dysport will make a difference in slimming the jaw. My face is oval with the exception of an angled jaw. When I clenched my teeth the area bulges a tiny bit. I can press down on the muscle and see a much slimmer face, but I don't want to spend the money if it will only help my tmj without slimming the area. Will a doctor be able to tell for sure? Will dysport or botox work better? How risky is this procedure? Will most drs charge by the area or unit due to complexity?

Answer: Botox or Dysport for Jaw Slimming
Either Botox or Dysport can be injected in to the masseter muscle to effectively acheive a slimming jaw. The goal is to atrophy the muscle enough so that it appears more narrow. I would recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation.

Answer: Schedule a consultation to see if you are a good candidate for Botox.
Botox to the masseter muscle is reportedly performed to reduce the appearance of a the jaws. The masseter is quite a large and strong muscle. Partial paresis of the muscle may result in other portions bulging. This seems entirely possible and can easily be remedied with additional Botox as advised. This seems reasonable given the size of the muscle.
Make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation and you will be advised if you are a good candidate for the procedure. We charge by area.
