How to slim down lower face without Botox injections?

Question

Im trying to have a baby and would like to slim down my face as my masseter muscles are quite big. I had Botox for jaw reduction in the past and the results were impressive. My doctor said I can still get Botox if I do not conceive the next 2 weeks. However I do not want to risk as I read my other opinions to wait until the Botox wears off. Is there any other way I can get good results? I bought a mouth guard for sleeping, but its a bit uncomfortable to wear. Thank you for your answers.

The other way to slim down the masseters is to stop grinding at night. Consider seeing a dentist to make you a splint. As long as your not pregnant, Botox should be safe. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)

Strong jaw muscles are usually reason for wide, square jaw look. Reduction of muscle volume with Botox is simplest and very efficient procedure.  However, it last as long as Botox  (4-8 months in our experience). Besides that option, surgical reduction is the only one that can be done to permanently reduce volume of the masseter muscles. It is very extensive procedure in comparison to Botox but it is permanent.

Pregnancy trumps any treatments for her mass ester issues. Best to seek only in person options not over the RS internet.

Limited choices, if you do not want to take the risk of Botox, certainly the only other safe method is a splint made up for you by a dentist. Other alternative therapies include hypnosis. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
