Hi! I have an odd jawline, it is more square shaped and larger/uneven on one side as you can see from the photos. I am wondering if Botox will soften my jawline and give a more oval appearance or any other options I have to soften the jawline and make it more feminine looking. Also could it be uneven from possibly chewing more on one side or having my wisdom teeth in still? Thank you!!

Answer: Can Botox soften the jawline? 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!

Answer: Botox for More Feminine Jawline? 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.
