Hi I have a very strong jaw bone, they make my face look square/rectangle. They are so strong that it makes me look hollow in the cheek. are there ways I could minimize these strong jaw? And make my face shape more like heart shape instead of square? I have an angular face with very strong jaw bone. I have heard that botox can minimize this. Does disport work the same? Or are there other better treatments? I have also heard that message that area to clear the lymph nodes would help? Thank you !

Answer: Botox can help an overly prominent jawline I have used Botox many times to treat an overly prominent jawline in women. It is not uncommon in Asian faces for the face to be more square in shape, and many women prefer, as you say, a more heart-shaped face. One can inject the same muscles as well as the muscles of the temples in patients who grind their teeth. These patients can have severe chronic headaches and a painful jaw, as well as problems with their teeth. The muscles of their jaw and temples enlarge. Some don't respond to teeth guards. Botox helps them to relax the involved muscles a bit so that their symptoms are relieved.Dysport should have a similar effect.

Answer: Slimming the face with Botox
Yes, plastic surgeons have used Botox and Dysport to help slim the face. While commonly used to reduce wrinkles, Botox and similar treatments can also help reduce excess facial volume. Results gradually develop over several weeks, so don't expect immediate results. Other patients may require surgery to remove fat or bone. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a plastic surgeon help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.
