Today was the first time I got this treatment done and the doctor wants to see me in 1 week. The treatment cost me 700 euros which is quite expensive, is this normal price for this treatment? how often do I have to repeat this? Is it more economic and effective to get smart lipo in the long run to make the jawline slimmer since it is permanent? How long do I have to wait to see visible effects?
Answer: Appr Unlike regular wrinkle injections, the effect of injections in the masseters takes about 4-6 weeks before you see the difference and typically last between 4-6months before needing another treatment.

Answer: Botox of the masseters vs. Smart Lipo Botox works to slim the face by relaxing the masseter muscles to allow a decrease in muscular bulk over the jaw. After the first use, the effects of Botox are usually noticeable after 3-5 days but will continue to peak over the course of 2-3 weeks. It will then take several weeks for the muscles to shrink and the cosmetic results to be apparent. The results may last anywhere from 4-12 months but a favorable cosmetic outcome is best sustained with interval treatments every 4-6 months. Botox is typically billed based on the number of units used, so costs will vary depending on geographic and market conditions. While some surgeons employ Smart lipo techniques to reduce subcutaneous fat, we do not use this technique in our practice due to concerns about possible contour irregularities and other potential complications. It is important for you to understand the smart lipo works in a completely different fashion from botox as it targets fat in the face rather than hypertrophied muscle. However, this therapy only targets subcutaneous fat over the jawline, which is usually not very abundant in most patients.Before you pursue either procedure, I recommend you undergo a thorough evaluation by a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to determine the specific aspects of your face that can be targeted to achieve your ideal cosmetic goals.
