I want my face slimmer though I quite like my face shape itself. I am wondering whether botox for the jaw will change my face shape at all (which I DO NOT want), or will it keep my overall face shape just slims it down a bit? I also wonder if i were to go ahead with the procedure, after the botox wears off, will my jaw return to pre-injected state or will I experience some unintended changes due to the botox (e.g., muscle doesn't grow up as big, or skin might loosen, etc) ? Thanks,
Answer: Botox in the masseter muscle offers temporary results I appreciate your question and your concern. Botox is a neuromodulator that works by relaxing muscles to achieve a desired effect. Most of the time, Botox is used as an anti-wrinkle treatment, but it is also effective in relaxing a masseter muscle that has become enlarged by overuse. When the muscle becomes inactive, it also reduces in size, leading to subtle slimming of the jawline. It will not significantly impact the overall shape of your face; just make it a bit narrower. I would suggest starting with a relatively low dose to see how your muscle responds. I’ve seen patients from other providers with too high a dose, resulting in an overly dramatic change.

Answer: Botox/Xeomin/Dysport Results--Lasts 3-4 months in new areas of treatment Yes, the results will wear off after 3-4 months after treatment and you will return to your original state. Keep in mind botox does prevent wrinkles long term and will inevitably delay the aging process. Bet, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Botox for Jaw Reduction is a Temporary Solution Thank you for your question. Botox is a neuromodulator that relaxes the masseter muscle, which also produces a subtle reduction in its size. This can offer slimming of the lower jawline that is restricted to exactly where the muscle is located. Botox injections offer temporary improvement and the results usually wear off within three to four months. At this time, you would need to schedule another treatment to maintain your new look. If you don’t have more treatments, the jawline will return to its same appearance before the procedure. Botox is not known to cause any long-term side effects.

Answer: After Botox for masseter muscle wears off, will my jaw return to my pre-injected state Botox injected into the masseter muscle will slim the appearance of the face where these muscles are located (the sides of the face). Botox is considered to be in full effect two weeks after injection and will gradually wear off over 3 to 4 months. At this time the face will return to its previous appearance.
