I’ve always had a really round face and I would like to hear feedback on which option is better to slim my face shape. Please see the attached pictures. I’ve also heard from my dentist that I have severe TMJ and my masseter muscles are large. But then I look in the mirror and also see chubby cheeks What do you see? Thanks in advanced.

Answer: Show I go for buccal fat removal or masseter Botox jaw injections? possibly both The results of buccal fat removal and botox to the masseter are NOT interchangeable. It means that if you do Botox to the masseter to correct chubby cheeks, it won't spare from undergoing buccal fat removal. Botox to the masseter only corrects the fillers of the lower POSTERIOR cheeks. Usually if performed before buccal fat removal the results are not seeing . Buccal fat removal corrects the fullness of the lower ANTERIOR cheeks. Asian background patients to correct chubby cheeks and achieve a more V shape facial look frequently require both buccal fat removal and Botox to the Masseter.

Answer: Masseter Botox Both do not have a drastic effect but in my opinion the cost and neccessity to repeat masseter Botox makes it a not so valuable procedure. Its 20 units on each side in general and 40 units at an average of $10 a unit would mean $1200 a year. That is almost the price of a buccal lipectomy ($2000). Choose smart!
