Would PDO jowl thread lift or masseter Botox be more effective for me? (Photo)

Question

I’m 25 and have always had a chubby round face. I’ve noticed my jaw area has become more round over the past couple of years due to TMJ. I’m aware that buccal fat removal would be a good option but I’m little hesitant as it’s an invasive procedure. Based on my picture, would a jowl thread lift be more effective, or masseter botox? Thanks

Dear Chic 1995,From your photos your masseters do not look that big but an in clinic assessment would be important to assess the size. You have some shadows appearing in the nasolabial and marionette areas and I wonder if it’s this that’s creating a rounded look and bothering you?In my opinion I think a jowl thread lift would work really well for you as it will give the appearance of slimming the face and reducing those shadows.Make sure you get a registered medical professional to treat you, whatever you decide.Best wishes,Dr Maeve Kenningham

PDO is a minimally invasive solution to provide lift and skin rejuvenation without going under the knife. You should try botox for TMJ first. After that, you can consider PDO thread lift for a more pronounced V shape.
