Can Botox help my face muscle hypertrophy?

Hello and thanks for your question. Yes Botox is great in the mouth area to help slim large muscles such as the masseter. In your case you could also use Botox in the chin to help soften the skin surface and texture. I hope that helps- remember always seek treatment from an experienced and qualified medical practitioner.

Botox is a neuromodulator that works by relaxing facial muscles to treat signs of aging and create a softer contour. In your case, Botox injections around the jawline may be very helpful. This treatment relaxes the masseter or chewing muscle, which is likely the muscle that has enlarged from overuse. It is located in the outer lower face and you can feel it when you bite down. In addition to relaxing the muscle, Botox will reduce the size to create a subtle slimming of the jawline. 

However, only the most experienced injector should place Botox anywhere near the mouth, as the wrong placement could create an asymmetrical or drooping smile. Another factor in your lip area looking larger is the volume loss of the face. The cheeks are somewhat flat and there is shadowing in the chin area. The lip area can look too large when the volume is lost around the lips. Placing fillers correctly along with a little Botox will give you the right facial balance. Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist who is also an expert injector to ensure the best possible results from your treatment. Through an in-person examination, your doctor should be able to design a treatment plan to meet your needs best. 

Thank you for your question and for providing pictures. Botox can help soften the muscles in the area. I suggest scheduling a consultation with an experienced physician for best results.  All the best.
