I’m I a candidate for massetter Botox? I feel like my smile is slightly leaning more to one side. (photo)

Question

I’ve recently noticed how uneven my face is, it makes me so self conscious, one cheek feels like it looks so much bigger than the other, and I feel like my smile is slightly leaning more to one side, I also have one eyebrow higher than the other, I know filler is good for evening out facial asymmetry but I’m so scared of the risks involved, would getting Botox help with this at all? I also do have a overbite which causing my jaw to ache as-well so would it help with that to?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Botox can be injected into the masseter muscles to help slim the jawline.  It is also used effectively to improve brow symmetry.  I encourage you to visit with an experienced injector near you to discuss your concerns.  Botox treatments are done in the office with final results seen after two weeks.  The results will gradually fade over 3 to 4 months.

Asymmetry can come from either your bone structure or muscle imbalances. Botox 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 correct the asymmetry. Please contact a qualified provider with extensive experience in these procedures.

Ashley Steinberg, MD · Answer

Botox or dysport into the masseter is a great way to slim the face and help with bruxism (or teeth clenching). Often, one side clenches more than another, especially if there is a pathology related to the jaw, which is your case is your overbite. It seems as though you would be a good candidate for masseter botox on the left side. Remember, this is not a one time procedure and would need to be performed every 3-6 months to see a true difference.
