Can Botox reduce the temple area to enhance cheekbone prominence and improve the eye separation ratio illusion? (Photos)

Botox injections can be used to thin temporal area if you have hypertrophy of temporal muscles. This might help with your concerns especially if you do have hypertrophy of temporal muscles.

Botox is typically used to relax muscles and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is not generally used to reduce the volume of the temple area. However, strategically placed Botox injections can sometimes influence facial aesthetics by altering muscle activity, which might indirectly affect how certain facial features are perceived.

For enhancing cheekbone prominence or creating the illusion of improved eye separation, other cosmetic procedures might be more effective. Dermal fillers, for example, are commonly used to add volume to the cheeks, enhancing cheekbone definition. Additionally, fillers can be used in the temple area to balance facial proportions, rather than using Botox to reduce volume.

If the goal is to achieve specific changes in facial contouring, a consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon would be beneficial. They can assess your facial structure and recommend the most appropriate treatments to achieve the desired aesthetic results.

Temporal botulinum will cause hollowing which looks aged and unhealthy. Better off with cheek augmentation.

Instead of using Botox to thin the temple area you may prefer fillers to the cheekbone. If you thin the temporal area you may look gaunt or hollow. Volumizing the cheek area with filler would be a better alternative.

Botox unfortunately does not help in such a treatment. However, corrections can be made with facial fillers. If you can send us a photo of your face, we can help you with detailed information. If you can share a photo, a better comment can be made that way.
