This requires an expert in facial sculpting. For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Bloating can be from various causes.  Botox can be used to slim the jawline by injecting into the masseter muscles if they are overdeveloped.  If the muscles are overdeveloped this is not considered bloating. For general swelling you may want to keep an eye on sodium intake.  Speak with your primary care physician if you have concerns.

Hi there,

Botox in the masseter. Jaw line filler and upper face to elongate. Botox in the glabella to lift the brow a bit as well!    See an expert injector!  
Best of luck!
