My dermatologist said i could benefit from masseter botox but i already have what looks like a little bit of jowls due to weight gain and im worried that the botox will increase the jowls further. I am about 18 pounds overweight so im currently trying to lose this as the jowling has increased since weight gain. Should i lose weight first before getting botox?
