I have a muscle & fat pad bulging next to my nose. Will Botox help?

The bulging you describe next to your nose could be due to various factors, including muscle, fat, or a combination of both. Whether Botox or weight loss will help depends on the specific cause of the bulge.
Botox: Botox is typically used to relax muscles and reduce wrinkles caused by muscle activity. If the bulging near your nose is due to muscle activity, such as the activity of the nasalis muscle, Botox might help relax the muscle and reduce the appearance of the bulge. However, Botox is not typically used to target fat deposits directly.
Weight Loss: If you've gained weight, it's possible that the bulging is partly due to an increase in overall body fat. Losing weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise may help reduce fat deposits in various areas of your body, including the face. However, the extent to which weight loss affects the specific area near your nose will vary depending on individual factors.
Keep in mind that facial features and fat distribution can vary significantly from person to person, so personalized guidance from a medical expert is crucial for achieving the desired results.

Hello eliza bethany! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. This is a great question. Based on your concerns, Botox is not the likely solution to treat the area. I highly recommend scheduling an in-person consultation in order to better assess your areas of concern and discuss an appropriate treatment plan to help achieve your aesthetic goals. Our office phone number is: (312) 944-0117. I hope this helps and best of luck!

No Botox is not the correct treatment to address your concerns. An evaluation is needed but fillers may be an option to help improve the facial contours. See an expert injector near you to learn more.

Hi, thank you for your question! I would not recommend botox to help with this area. Due to weight gain this could be a combination of multiple things. I would recommend following up with a certified injector for an in person consultation.
