Recently I've found out about botox being used to reduce the jaw. I have a very round face, and my jaw looks even square-ish from downwards angles. The first question I'd like to ask is: is everyone eligible for it? Does it slim down the face only on people with square jaws or will it work on round faces as well? While asking around I also discovered that local doctors insist that nobody should do it, because it's "dangerous". So is it really risky and how? What can I expect from this treatment?
Answer: Masseter Injections // Slimming Jawline With Botox, Dysport, Xeomin // Neck and Jawline Tightening I suggest posting photos, not everyone is a candidate although the majority of the time if you are not a candidate and botox is injected nothing bad realy occurs unless the botox goes to the wrong muscle. I suggest seeing an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Botox to Massetter Muscle Thank you for the detailed question. Patients who are good candidates for Botox to the masseter are patients with strong jaw lines caused by a strong, hypertrophic masseter muscle. If you do not have a hypertrophic masseter muscle, then injecting Botox there will not do much to change the shape of your jaw line. I recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon or expert injector in-person so they may evaluate your muscle in-action and decide what would be the best treatment plan to address your concerns. At our practice, we also provide consults via FaceTime or Skype for patients who live outside of NY. For more information, please visit our webpage.

Answer: Botox/dysport to masseter Hi,When the masseter muscle is large, it can add extra fullness to the lower third of the face. The muscle mass can be reduced with botox/dysport and that will slim the jawline. A careful exam of the muscle is necessary to determine of you would get a benefit from this treatment. When performed by an expert the risk of any unwanted effects are very low.Best,Mehdi Sina, MD

Answer: Is everyone a candidate for masseter reduction? In patients who have a square-shaped face, different factors may contribute to increased lower facial width, including the shape of the jaw (mandible), the size of the muscle (masseter), and the volume of the soft tissues (parotid gland and fat). An in-person assessment is required to evaluate which treatment option(s) are available in your particular case as well as what would be a reasonable outcome to expect. Done properly by a trained physician knowlegeable in facial anatomy, Botox injected into the masseter is safe. As always, seek proper consultation before treatment and best of luck!
