Which procedure would help me achieve a softened jaw and less gum show when smiling? (photos)

Thank you for your question and photos. You may benefit from Botox to reduce gum show when smiling and create a softer jawline. This treatment option relaxes muscle activity that contributes to these aesthetic concerns and can deliver ongoing results as long as an adequate injection schedule is maintained.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced expert injector. They will be able to discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals with you to help you decide on the best treatment option.

Botox may be able to help with both of your concerns. It can be used to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile. It also can be injected into the masseter muscle in order to slim the jawline. The treatment is done in the office with final results seen after two weeks. See an expert injector near you to discuss your concerns and learn more.

Hello, and thank you for your question! Gummy smile Botox would help expose less gums when you smile. Typically you can start with around 6 units for that area. For your jaw you can try masseter Botox. Masseter Botox can help slim your face. You can also try jawline/chin filler. This will help elongate your profile. Good luck on your journey!
