I would like to improve the balance and symmetry of my lower face. I am interested in masseter botox and chin filler, but am concerned on the impact this may have to my chubby cheeks and cause jowling. Would I be a good candidate for masseter botox with chin filler at this time? Would you recommend something else instead?
Answer: Chin/Jawline Contour Hello and thank you for your question! Masseter tox would definitely help to slim the back of the jawline, but you are correct in your fear for potential jowling. However, since you are also considering chin filler, that could mitigate the issue somewhat (if it happens). Additionally, the "chin shadow" area can be filled to help enhance contour. Discuss your concerns with your injector ahead of time so that you have a plan in place, and all is well! I hope this helps!

Answer: Facial contouring Botox and chin filler are a nice start. Liposuction of the jowls and submental area would also be of benefit to facial contouring. I also feel that you are a buccal fat removal candidate. I do not think that the fullness of your face can be reduced without addressing the deeper fat compartments of your face. Buccal fat removal will have the most impact on what you are trying to achieve and in your particular face there will be no long term issues with skeletonizing the face.

Answer: Botox for Massenter Thank you for submitting your photos and your concerns. Based upon your photos, I do believe injecting Botox in the Massenter muscle can help your face achieve a slimmer face in the lower face. It will slim the face so the face is less square. Many of my Asian patients like this effect. The effect will be balanced and symmetric. I do think it has a net positive effect on the "chubby cheeks" since the lower face is not as wide. I don't think this will provide more symmetry however since your face is fairly symmetric. In terms of your chin, I cannot tell unless I see your chin profile to be able to tell if you could benefit from a chin filler. I would recommend you come in for in consult consultation to have full face evaluation to have the best overall recommendations.
