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: 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.

Answer: Facial shaping by means of fat contouring It is not likely that Botox and selective liposuction will change the shape of your face in an oval, longitudinal face. More aggressive lipo-contouring with direct excision of fat deposits in the cheeks, masseter, jawline and anterior neck would be more appropriate. A face lift approach and incisions may be needed to address all these areas accordingly. In person consultation or a teleconference with a board certified plastic surgeon with broad experience in facial rejuvenation is recommended. Good luck.
