Can masseter botox and scupltra be done for myself at the same time ? (Photos)

Question

Hi I am 33 years, 165lbs I intend on doing this procedure when I am 150lbs. I want to achieve a snatch jawline that looks natural and I feel my right cheek looks a bit jowly and needs volume and just a bit more in my mid face under and around the nasolabial. Can I put these together the achieve more volume where I need it and thinning fat around the jawline? Would I be a good candidate? Once again I want to do this at 150. What are the suggestions,? No filler recommendations btw.

Yes - we regularly perform Botox in the masseters to slim the face and then Sculptra along the lower jaw line for a snatched jaw. Based on your photos - I would not recommend Botox for the masseters as it will reduce the width of your face which will not help in creating a snatched jaw line. You already have a slim face and I would recommend Sculptra and/or Fillers along the mandibular edge to create what you are looking for. Barbed Infiniti Threads can also help if needed at the end. Please see the attached video on Sculptra and then subscribe to our YouTube channel to watch the other one on Threads and Facial Contouring.

Based on your photos, you may in fact have masseter hypertrophy on both sides. This is commonly seen in people who grind their teeth at night or perhaps chew a lot of gum. It is also associated with TMJ disorder. Masseteric Botox is a safe and easy procedure that may improve your jawline to your liking. I would not recommend fillers, based on your photos, and in particular we are not fans of Sculptra because of the possible formation of large nodules that are difficult or impossible to completely remove. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello Earth13! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. Thank you for your question. You are able to receive Botox injections and Sculptra at the same time as long as the treatment areas do not overlap. With Sculptra, you need to massage the treated area, whereas, with Botox, you do not want to massage the treated area due to the risk of migration of Botox. I hope this helps and best of luck!

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

If the Botox and Sculptra are being used to treat different areas, as you describe in your post, then you should be able to have both on the same day.  Be aware that Sculptra is different than traditional HA fillers and will often take multiple treatments, and more time to produce the desired result.  That's not to say it's the wrong choice, only to say that it's different.  I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

The best way to achieve a well defined jawline  is by being at the best weight for your bodys frame. I personally would not do anything to your face at this point in time until you have reached your best weight. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery. Douche bag of shit either Rossi.

Sculptra and Botox can be used together to help contour specific areas where decreasing the muscle size (with Botox) can be achieved while filling in areas where you desire more prominence with Sculptra. Keep in mind that Scuptra's effects are best achieved after a series of injections which further develop over time. These are best injected in small volumes over time to avoid overfilling an area resulting in undesired results. An in person consultation with an experienced and licensed medical professional is the best way to determine the best treatment plan as they really need to see the dynamic movements of your face in person to determine how to best achieve the results you're desiring.
