Will neckband or TMJ Botox give me a sharper jawline and cleaner profile? (photos)

Based on your concerns, it sounds like you may benefit from a tailored approach to Botox and filler injections. Baby Botox is a lower dose of Botox that can help achieve a more subtle and natural look. TMJ injections can help relieve pain and tension in the jaw muscles, and neck band injections can help soften the appearance of vertical neck bands.

Adding chin filler can help balance out the lower face and create a more defined jawline. However, it's important to have a consultation with a qualified and experienced provider who can evaluate your individual anatomy and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your desired outcome.

Regarding your suspicion of an overactive neck muscle pulling down your jawline, a qualified provider may be able to assess this and determine if neck Botox injections are appropriate for you. Neck Botox can help relax the platysma muscle, which can improve the appearance of vertical neck bands and create a smoother neck contour.

It's important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of Botox and filler injections, as individual results may vary. It's also important to choose a qualified and experienced provider who has a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and injection techniques to help minimize the risk of complications.

Best of luck !

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

Thank you for your question and photos. Botox is an excellent choice for slenderizing the lower third portion of the face as well as reducing the appearance of neck bands. Combining this treatment with chin filler is likely to create a sharper jawline contour and a balanced side profile.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced expert injector. They will be able to review your treatment history, discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals with you, and help you decide on the best approach.
