Is my square face due to masseter muscles or am I born with a square jaw line? I have been to 2 clinics, they both do not do surgery, just non-surgical procedures. I am dubious as to these clinics telling me that it is indeed my masseter muscles and botox will slim my face as, well they would say that as they don't do surgery!! On 1st pic you can see my square jaw, with my left side noticeable larger than my right. I've attached profile pics of my right and left side also. Thank you in advance

Answer: Botox (or Dysport) is very good for slimming a square face
You have masseter hypertrophy, which is causing a bulkiness to your lower face, and you are an excellent candidate for neurotoxin to reduce masseter hypertrophy. You will notice the slimming effect on the lower face within several weeks. If you like the effect, you will want to repeat your injections periodically.

Answer: Level of improvement to be expected with masseter reduction with Botox
A way to estimate whether or not you should expect any improvement with masseter reduction using Botox is to stand in front of a mirror. Look at the angles of your jaw and compare the clenched versus unclenched contour. Then put each of your hands on each side of your jaw. Again, feel your jaw when it's clenched versus unclenched. The muscle at the angles of your jaw you are seeing and feeling is the masseter muscle. The Botox will reduce the bulk in that area from the muscle, but if your jawbone is still extremely wide despite pressing down on the muscle then you will experience only minimal improvement.
