I'm a 20year old lady ,a pear-shape and i weigh 140lbs.I do not like how my face looks like.i have a very round face & my upper cheeks(malar pad region)has significant volume,which in my opinion translates to both fat and muscle. Should i get botox to slim down my upper cheeks to achieve a leaner and a more attractive face??
Answer: Botox to shape the face Thank you for your question that_chick. One of the desirable features in the face is a heart shaped appearance with an apparent youthful apple of the cheek and a slim lower face which comes together at the chin. Enhancing the upper outer cheeks with a filler like Voluma can restore the youthful apple of the cheek which we naturally loose over time. Botox can be used in the masseter muscle (used for biting) in the lower face to slim down the lower face, creating a less boxy appearance and a more heart shaped appearance. I recommend consulting with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: Botox and fillers for a leaner face A combination of Botox and facial filler injections can be used to "sculpt" the face. Depending on a patient's anatomy and personal preference, a variety of changes can be made to enhance ones' appearance. An office consultation with a board certified specialist is required to determine appropriate options. Opinions will vary among physicians as there isn't a "best" treatment.Best,Dr. Chaboki
