Am I just self concious or do I actually have a prominent jawline? I have daytime jaw clenching problem. Will getting botox injection in my jaw muscle reduce my jawline to make it softer looking?
Answer: Will botox help soften my jawline? Thank you for your question and photograph. If the width and sharpness of the angle of your jaw is due to your masseter muscle, treatment with Botox can help atrophy the muscle, slimming your face and softening the jawline. An added benefit is that wearing of the muscle can help with your jaw clenching as well. See an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation, they can offer you the best treatment recommendations.

Answer: Botox for the jawline The short answer is yes. Botox to the masseter muscles (large chewing muscles) will help "soften" your jawline and make it look less angular on the sides. It will also help with the pain from clenching, but occasionally I find that I'll need to treat the temples with a little Botox for clenching if treating the masseters doesn't completely do the trick.Find an injector that has experience in this area - most injectors don't do many injections in the lower face.

Answer: Botox and jawline contouring First off, you have a beautiful facial features and I believe less is more for you when it comes to cosmetic treatments. That being said, based on your photo, there does appear to be the suggest of prominent or bulky masseters which could be treated with Botox injection. Botox injection into the masseter muscles will result in muscle atrophy and slimming of lower face. See an experienced injector for an in-person evaluation.

Answer: Botox for facial contouring Hello, and thanks for your question and photo. From the photo it appears as though your masseters (chewing muscles) are hypertrophic (larger due to use), and this is making your face look more square. The size of this muscle can be reduced with regular injection of Botox. The most common side effect is some soreness after the injection that typically resolves in a few days. Some individuals also find they get "chewing fatigue," but I have not seen this become such an issue that it affected their ability to eat. In order to determine the best treatment plan for you, I recommend an in-person consultation with a well-trained dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.
