I had wanted to get Botox on my chin/ jaw area to make it appear more defined. I was wondering if this would remove any fat around that area. Would Kybella be a better option? I have very slight fat around, I just wanted it more defined. Thanks!

Answer: Botox vs Kybella These two medications do completely different things. Botox temporarily weakens muscle function and can be used to treat neck muscle bands or overly large chewing muscles in the posterior jawline area (master muscle). It will not work to thin fat under the chin. This is what Kybella does. Kybella dissolves fat cells and is ideal for patients with fat under the chin and jawline area.

Answer: Chin/ jawline contouring Thank you for your question. Botox is not typically used to slim the chin area. Botox can be used on the chin muscle (mentalis) to smooth the dimpling effect creating a softer chin. Fillers such as Radiesse or Juvederm Voluma are often used to increase the vertical dimension of the face, define the chin/ jawline and build structure to the lower face. Kybella is a great treatment option to slim and minimize the fat pad under the chin also known as the double chin. Hope this information helps!
