I am looking for some help regarding my chin. When I smile it seems so much more prominent and doesn’t blend in with the rest of my face. I have heard that Botox could help? Is this true and what should I be asking for?

Instead of using Botox to thin the temple area you may prefer fillers to the cheekbone. If you thin the temporal area you may look gaunt or hollow. Volumizing the cheek area with filler would be a better alternative.
Botox and Xeomin are both neruomodulators, but they are created slightly differently. You can have your doctor perform a patch test on your arm to check for allergy. You can then proceed with treatment if you are nonreactive.
DAO Botox injections will help with the downturn of the lips but they won’t help with the crease. To correct the crease you may consider Skinvive injections. Asymmetry and jowelling are always possible but should not be an issue if injections are administered correctly.
