Hi! About 4 months ago I received the Botox treatment for my jaw, approx 20 units per side. I noticed that my face did slim a little but not very noticeably. I feel that the lower part of my face looks a bit Jowl-like due to the masculine square shape, and was considering a zygoma reduction surgery in Korea.
