I have both a wide stereo typically "Asian" face (flat droopy cheeks, temples as wide as jaw) and a soft one with little bone structure in my cheeks. I would like a slimmer jawline and face. Is lower face liposuction, buccal fat reduction or Botox in the jawline the best, safest route?
Answer: Facial concerns All of the procedures that you mention may be necessary in your situation. Without an examination or photographs it is impossible to tell. I have had many patients that underwent the combination of neck liposuction, buccal fat reduction and masseter muscle botox with great results. Liposuction of the face generally isn't performed. For a permanent result, the jaw bone (mandible) can be contoured by removal of bone, which permanently slims the lower third of the face.

Answer: Which helps slim sides of face better, lower chin liposuction or Botox? Thank you for your question. In my opinion liposuction of the cheek area is very dangerous as several important motor nerves name of the marginal mandibular can be injured and paralyzed your mouth.An examination would be required to find out if a buccal fat pad resection would be helpful. If you're prone to jaw clenching and your masseter muscle is hypertrophic Botox can be helpful.

Answer: Many Ways To Achieve a Slimmer Face The answer to your question depends entirely on your personal anatomy. There is no way that a physician in this forum can tell you for sure without at least a photograph - but we would all prefer to see you in person. I have had great luck with both injectables and liposuction for these purposes.

Answer: Asian Face and Slimming Face Typically botox can be used -- if the masseter (muscle used for chewing) is enlarged -- to help slim the jawline. Fillers can be used as well if in the right proportion. Do you have photos? Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Best Treatment to Slim Lower Face Hi Irsi,The injection of Botox into the masseter muscles is an effective treatment for slimming the lower face. It is a very common procedure on Asian faces. Liposuction of the neck helps to define the jawline. I would not advise removing buccal fat pads as invariably, as one gets older, the face needs that volume and appears haggard. As with all facial aesthetic treatments, it is most important that you take the time to choose your physician very carefully based on their skill, experience, and natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well.Michael Persky, MDEncino, CA
