Asked By:bartholowalex in Saint Paul, Minnesota

I have a very weak jawline and chubby cheeks, I am getting Botox for tmj because I wake up every morning with lock jaw and I’m a lot of pain from clenching. I’m worried that because I have a weak jawline and chubby face that the botox may cause my face to sag. The bottom of my face also looks incredibly heavy, can anyone tell me what that is from as well? Is that jowls?
