I think my appearance could be improved by possibly some jaw surgery or botox to make my jaw appear smaller and more feminine. I also feel like my chin protrudes quite a bit, especially when I smile. I would like my face to appear slimmer and less round. Any suggestions?

Answer: Chin Surgery -- Yes Or No? Are There Other Options? Before considering surgery I would seek the opinion of a cosmetic dermatologist with expertise in neuromodulation and fillers. To make your chin appear less pronounced when smiling you can use fillers in the chin and prejowl area to soften the curvature of the jawline and give the chin a less noticeable appearance. Neurotoxin in the muscles of the chin may help when smiling but wont do anything for the appearance at rest. If after trying conservative options, you are not convinced of the results, I would then seek the advice of a maxillofacial or plastic surgeon. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.

Answer: How to Make My Chin Smaller and More Feminine? Botox Slims the Face Injecting the neuromodulator Botox into the jaw muscles, otherwise known as the masseters, will allow them to relax. Without the bulking of the muscles, your face will look slimmer. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert at using Botox in the masseters is essential because you don't want to interfere with jaw function.
