Question

(Pic included) Hi I would like to know if Botox would help thin my lower face and around cheek bone area were my face is most round

David Yew, MD · Answer

Your have excellent cheekbones and jaw shape. With aging - the lower part of the face may become fuller than the cheekbones. If that happens - it's due to the jaw muscles (masseters) getting larger from normal use (eating, talking, clenching, grinding, etc...) It's important to find an experienced provider - so ask them how long they have been injecting jaw muscles. If it's not injected correctly - you can get a crooked smile for 4 months. Please see the attached video link regarding Botox/TMJ and facial slimming.

Botox will help narrow your face under your beard near the corner of your jaw. It will narrow and taper your face at that area.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Botox injected into the masseter muscles helps to slim the appearance of the jawline.  The treatment is done in the office with final results seen after two weeks.  The product effects gradually wear off over three to four months.
