Where should I get Botox to improve feminization? (Photo)

Question

I am female, but their is something about my face that is making me look unattractive and something people are perceiving as masculine but I have no idea what it is. Where should I get Botox to improve femininity?

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question and your photo — and I want to start by saying this gently and honestly: your features already read as balanced and naturally feminine. When people worry they look “masculine,” it’s often not one single feature but subtle proportions or muscle activity that can be softened — and Botox can sometimes help with that in a refined way.

Botox doesn’t change bone structure or add volume, but it can adjust how certain muscles pull and shape your expressions. For facial feminization, we usually think in terms of softening downward pull and reducing heaviness, while preserving natural movement.

Here are the most commonly considered Botox areas for softening and feminizing effects:

1️⃣ Masseter muscles (jawline slimming)
If the lower face looks wide or strong when clenching, masseter Botox can gradually slim the jawline and create a more tapered, V-shaped contour. This is one of the most impactful Botox-based feminization treatments when jaw bulk is present.

2️⃣ Glabella (between the brows)
Strong contraction here can create a heavier or more severe look. Softening this area can make the upper face appear more relaxed and open.

3️⃣ Lateral brow depressors (subtle brow lift effect)
Strategic placement around the outer brow can allow a gentle brow elevation. A slight tail-of-brow lift can read as more traditionally feminine and awake — when done conservatively.

4️⃣ DAO muscles (corners of the mouth)
If the corners of the mouth are being pulled downward at rest, relaxing this muscle can create a softer resting expression.

5️⃣ Mentalis (chin dimpling or tension)
If there is chin strain or puckering, relaxing this area can smooth and soften the lower face.

A key point: feminization is usually about softening, not freezing. Over-treatment can actually make features look less natural, so dosing and placement matter more than the number of areas treated.

Also, many features people interpret as “masculine” are actually related to volume distribution (cheeks, temples, lips) rather than muscle activity — which is where fillers or collagen-stimulating treatments, not Botox, play a role.

From what I can see, your facial structure is already harmonious. Any Botox for feminization would likely be subtle, targeted, and conservative — more refinement than transformation.

Based on the photo you provided, I would recommend cheek filler to soften your undereye area and lift and re-drape the tissues of your face. You might also benefit from Botox in your upper face, however it's hard to tell based on a non-animated photo. Scheduling a consult with a reputable aesthetic injector and go from there. :)

From the submitted photo you have an attractive feminine face.  You have some facial asymmetry which is common.  Some filler could help improve this.  We recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.  I encourage you to contact an experienced injector near you for a consultation to discuss your concerns and learn more about options.

First off, you've got the most sought-after feminine features such as the V-line jaw and luscious lips. Well what is potentially creating an illusion of unattractiveness is the long forehead and the oblong facial shape as a result of it. I don't see an obvious indication for Botox. What could help you is tear trough fillers and some lower face volumization. Also, you can draw emphasis to your brows by getting them microbladed. If you are looking at more radical options, forehead reduction surgery is worth exploring. 
Wishing you the best,Dr. Daphney Gracia Antony
