Dysport for Contouring Lower Face?

Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport and Xeomin) were originally intended for use in treating scowl lines, forehead "worry" lines and crow's feet. However, they have been successfully been used for years to treat the lower half of the face and neck, as well. I personally have been using Botox for more than two decades, and more recently Dysport and Xeomin, for all of these uses. 

Neuromodulators, for example, can be used to smooth a "pebbly" or "cobblestone" chin. They can help to elevate the marionette line ("Howdy Doody" or "sad lines"), treat a "gummy smile" and when placed in microdroplets, in a grid pattern can improve a crepey and crinkly ("prune face") appearance to the lower cheeks. Properly placed along the jaw line and into the ropey cords of the neck, they can give rise to a straightening of the upper neck and jawline, a technique which has come to be known as the "Nefertiti Lift," in honor of the stepmother of the young Pharaoh Tutenkhamen who was known for her perfect profile. The exact number of units of each material to achieve the desired results depends upon the site and the particular needs of the person seeking treatment.

Just like Botox, Dysport can be used in the lower face area.  It can be used along the sides of the mouth to help with droopy mouth corners.  It can help with chin dimpling as well.  There is a wide variety of uses for both Dysport and Botox along the lower face area. 

Your question asks about contouring the lower face. While Dysport has proven to be an effective alternative to Botox (a neurotoxin or neuromodulator) it is not intended for contour changes. Dysport (and Botox) injections can alter your facial expression by relaxing certain muscles, but will not augment the contours of your face. 

When speaking about contouring generally you're talking about bulking up hollow areas or plumping and smoothing lines and folds. Though Dysport or Botox will not accomplish that kind of change you still have many options. Some of the most common and effective choices include Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Hydrelle, and Sculptra. If you're considering improving your facial contour you should visit with a few plastic surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. You can discuss your options and make a plan together that suits your goals.

Dysport and fillers can be used to even out your face. You may ask for botox, fillers, and PDO. A combination of all may be attempted to contour your facial features. The number of units will be determined by your care provider. Touch-ups are okay once the product has settled and the skin has fully recovered. Please contact a qualified provider with extensive experience in these procedures.

Dysport and Botox can be injected by a board certified aesthetic specialist in the lower face and mandibular area, to define its lower segment and minimize jowls. It can also improve the bands that form on the anterior aspect of the neck.
