I've always had a wide jaw, but lately I've been having a lot of sinus pain, jaw pain, & headaches. My wisdom teeth are coming in as well so the pain is worse now, it almost feels like my jaw is larger now than ever before. I want the pain to stop but I'd also like to reduce the size of my jaw & get a more stream lined V shape. I like that my jaw is somewhat defined but I just HATE how wide it looks. When I take pictures I always have to take them at a certain angle. I hate it. What can I do?

Answer: Slimming the Jaw with Botox/Xeomin/Dysport, Radiofrequency, surgery, liposuction, ThermiRF
Liposuction is the gold standard for fat removal. It also only requires one treatment versus Kybella which would require multiple treatments. However, you will have some down time for recovery with liposuction as well as anesthesia.
Every patient heals at her own rate, but generally, the swelling, redness and pain resolve within about 2- 4 weeks. Hopefully, you will be on the shorter end of that healing cycle.
It is not known as an allergy producing product. The distance of injection from the thyroid should be maintained in any case but Kybella is safe if your doctors has no concern.
