How long does it take for Botox to work in reducing the jawline for face slimming if its the 1st time I have used it?

Thank you for your question. Botox in the masseter region usually takes longer than in the standard areas to take effect. I tend to use anywhere from 15 units (conservative treatment) to 50 units (for someone with really strong masseters) on each side to get the desired result. It may start within the first week but I tell my patients to wait three weeks before doing a more thorough evaluation. The treatment typically lasts longer than the forehead/crows feet/frown regions. It is also a gradual onset of the return of masseter function. I have tried the masseter injections myself and space the treatments around 4 months apart, but use smaller doses to maintain the effect. I normally know the effects are wearing down when I start to clench my teeth more heavily at night when asleep. Once you stop using Botox, the masseter muscles will return to their original baseline when the effects of Botox wears off completely.

It can take 3 days to 2 weeks for the Botox to start working. You start seeing results once the muscle relaxes and starts to weaken. The treatment for each patient varies and is determined by the strength of the muscle. You would need to be assessed by a plastic surgeon in regards to the smart lipo. Typically smart lipo is used to the submentum and neck area. 

Thank you for your
question.It takes about a week for it to take full effect and about 3-4 weeks for the muscles to start to shrink.  Liposuction does not do anything to shrink muscles, only remove fat.  It depends on what the cause of excess around your jawline.

To be sure, see
two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these
treatments.

I hope this helps.
