I don't like my face shape when I smile my jaw gets very wide. Is there a way to fix this?

Question

Some angles my face shape is the desired V shape but more often I see pictures of myself and hate the width of my face especially when I smile. I have ranged in weight and from 115lbs to 135lbs this has always been an insecurity of mine. Is masseter botox an option for me or is it more to do with the shape of my skull? And what procedures can help me?

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your concerns about your face shape. It would be helpful if you could share a photo of your face, both while smiling and not smiling. This will allow me to better understand the specific areas you are concerned about.
Based on your description, there could be a few potential options to address your concerns. Masseter botox can sometimes be an effective option for temporarily and slightly reducing the width of the face. However, it's essential to consider other factors as well, such as the shape of your facial bony structure and muscle shape and the overall harmony of your facial features.
Other potential procedures are buccal fat pad removal and jaw angle reshaping, which can also help enhance the face's contours and create a more balanced appearance.
