I recently lost a good bit of weight and the only place that wont slim out for me is my face. I have reached my target weight so I can no longer keep losing. I have read a lot online about Botox in the masseter muscle that will help with face slimming. Would I be a good candidate and how much units is needed to see results? I understand ye can't give me a straight answer without seeing me in person but I'd settle for an educated guess, until I make a consultation appointment.

Answer: Botox to masseter muscles Botox to the masseter muscles can be an effective way of slimming the jawline in some patients. The results are best in thin patients with Good skin elasticity and little fat in the face. You need an in person evaluation to determine your candidacy for the procedure. However, based on your photo my concern would be that injection at the masseter muscle will not accomplish your goal of creating a more narrow jaw line. It may actually accentuate your jowl region if you do not have great elasticity to your skin.
