Would botox soften my jaw line? (Photo)

This depends on whether your masseter muscle is making your jawline look square, but from your photos I wouldn’t say it’s “odd". If the cause is your masseter muscle, then they may bulk up from excessive use (chewing). Botox can help relax it and soften the contour. If it’s something else, then another treatment may be more suitable. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would help you determine the cause and the appropriate treatment.

Fillers, implants and fat can all be used to sculpt and contour the face. Botox is commonly used to reshape the jawline.  VASER and ThermiRF are best for jawline surgically and kybella can be used nonsurgically.  I suggest consulting with a facial sculpting expert for further evaluation.

Most likely yes. The asymmetry could either be due to excess bulk of the masseter muscle on that side or might be related to your underlying jaw structure. If it's muscle then you're a good candidate for Botox. If it's bone then Botox will not create much improvement in symmetry.

Yes! It certainly can, to a point. The appearance of your jawline depends on the shape of your jawbone and the muscle of chewing that sits on the outside of the bone. Botox can cause the muscle to atrophy a bit (not enough to have trouble with chewing) which will contour your face. Be warned, it can take A LOT of Botox and you likely need multiple treatments to achieve the effect you desire. Good luck!

First off, your jawline is not "odd!" Nearly everyone has some asymmetry and a "square" jawline is in the range of normal, even for women. Having said that, you'd like a change. If your square jawline is due to bone, Botox will not help. You'd have to undergo orthognathic (jaw) surgery to get the result you want. If the squareness of your jaw is due to the masseter muscle, Botox could help -- 25-35 units on each side every 3-6 months with longer in between injections as time goes on. You may want to consider getting a biteguard (customized from a dentist) if your masseter muscle is enlarged due to jaw clenching at night. This could help the issue from becoming worse in conjunction with Botox to help soften your jawline.
