I live in Manhattan and I am looking to have Botox in the next month or so to correct my chin pebbles and injected into my Masseter muscle to achieve a more feminine jawline. How often would I have to get it for it to stay? I'm assuming every 6 months. And how much would it cost for both? I do know not many do the Masseter muscle Botox)
Answer: Orange Peel / Pebble Chin / Chin Dimpling -- Botox/Dysport/Xeomin/Jeuveau to Mentalis Muscle Treatment for chin dimpling ("pebble chin" or "orange peel") is Botox injected into the mentalis muscle. This typically gives great improvement to the appearance of the chin. Results take about 1 to 2 weeks. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Botox for Masseter Muscle Reduction and Chin Dimpling It is important to remember that each face is different and everyone's body reacts differently to the Botox injections. You would have to go in for a consultation to be accurately assessed. For the Botox to smooth the chin, usually people will come every 3 months. This typically requires 6 to 8 units in the mentalis/chin muscle. Again, some people come in at five months, some will come back in three and a half months. It's about what works best for you and your body. For the masseter muscle, you may be able to get away with coming in less frequently. Most patients receive any where between 15 to 30 units per side. Over time, the muscle will shrink and you will be able to get away with coming in less and less.

Answer: Smoothing the chin and jaw with Botox or Dysport Generally, 4-8 units of Botox can be used in the chin to smooth the wrinkles cause by the mentalis muscle. Also, he marionette lines that pull down the corner of the mouth (formed by the depressor anguli oris muscles) can be relaxed with a similar but distinct injection. Botox or Dysport work best with filler when treating the marionette lines. The masseter muscles at the angles of the jaw can make a female jaw look masculine. Generally 20-30 units of Botox is used on each side. Equivalent doses of Dysport can also be used. Many patients feel that Dysport lasts longer than Botox. Most experienced injectors will be familiar with these techniques. Good luck.

Answer: Botox for chin dimpling and jaw reduction You will need approximately 8-10 units of Botox for your chin dimpling and 25-30 units of Botox for each masseter muscle injection. You do not want to over inject either area. The injections will need to be repeated every 4 months and the cost of injections will depend upon the cost per unit charged for Botox. Having said that, the photos that you have provided of the chin injection patient and the jaw reduction patient are very misleading. Botox alone will not alter the appearance of your jawline to that significant of a degree and although Botox will stop the chin dimpling at rest and with slight motion, in those photos the pre injection photo is in full motion and the post injection photo is at rest.
