Hi I'm 21 yo and I heard that botox can help slimming the face and jaw make it more " V shaped". Is it safe for my age and also is that true that botox can make face slimmer? I have chubby cheeks that's why I wanted to do botox to make my face slimmer. Thank you

Since Botox takes about 7-10 days to fully set in, I would wait that full time to see if the lines improve. After that time, if you are still experiencing the lines then I would contact your dermatologist for a touch-up.
Unfortunately, it looks as though the Botox migrated into the right DLI muscle resulting in the asymmetric smile. Technically, Botox injection into the left DLI will make the smile less asymmetric but, honestly, if you were my patient, I would recommend...
This will resolve in 3-4 months, botox doesn't last permanently. I suggest an alternative approach in the future, but this is a risk of injections along the jawline. Best, Dr. Emer.
