Chin issues Side profile - can my issue be fixed with Botox? (photos)

Hello, and thank you for your question. While a proper evaluation of your profile is necessary, as well as a clearer grasp of your specific aesthetic goals, Botox can be used to enhance your jawline. Botox can be injected into the masseter muscle to help it relax and create a softer jawline. However, a good facial plastic surgeon should be able to successfully use dermal fillers to strengthen the chin and contour the jawline too. To better understand how you can benefit from these procedures, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can do a proper evaluation of your facial profile, recommend the best treatment plan, and ensure the best possible outcome.

Botox may soften the appearance of your side profile. Be sure to see an experienced injector for this treatment as you want to maintain a natural smile. Fillers may also be an option for jawline sculpting.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
