I've already had botox injected into the masseter however my face is really chubby and i would like it to slim down even more
Answer: Botox for facial slimming Hi rcdivina, thank you for your question! Botox to the buccinator muscle would not give you the slimming effect you would like to achieve. To best achieve this look botox should be placed to the masseter muscles. Multiple treatments may be needed in order to see desired results.

Answer: Will injecting Botox into the Buccinator muscle make my face appear slimmer I think what you mean is should you get botox injected into your masseter muscle. If that alone does not slim your face down, you may have to actually get your buccal fat pads removed by a facial plastic surgeon. Good luck, Dr. Downie

Answer: Don't get buccinator muscle injected with Botox You will end up will problems smiling after injection in this area. If you want slimming after having the masseters appropriately injected, then consult a surgeon to consider buccal fat removal.

Answer: Botox Without pictures it is difficult to tell what is making your face chubby. I doubt that it is the buccinator muscle. There is a fat pad in that area called the buccal fat pad and that may be the cause of your chubby appearance. I would talk to a board-certified plastic surgeon about this and they may suggest excision of that buccal fat pad.Good luck!

Answer: Botox to slim face You have posted no pictures to indicate why your face is "really chubby". If its fat, then Botox will do nothing. If its Bone, then Botox will do nothing. If if excess facial volume is due to masseter muscle hypertrophy then longterm proper injection of Botox will atrophy the muscle and reduce the volume. Buccinator muscle hypertrophy is not the reason for "chubby" face and should not be injected with Botox as it will cause problems with oral competence.
