What Areas of the Face Can Botox Be Injected?

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

There are many areas where Botox can be injected. Keep in mind that Botox may be injected for both cosmetic and medical purposes. Your physician may recommend Botox to you solely to help with a medical concern such as hyperhidrosis or chronic migraines. For cosmetic purposes, Botox is often used to treat facial fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily inhibiting movement to the injected muscle. Usual treatment areas for cosmetic purposes include the forehead, crow’s feet and frown lines. Additionally, Botox can be used to adjust a gummy smile, bunny lines on the nose, dimpled chin, etc. When consulting with a physician always ask what treatment is best to help you achieve your desired results and always discuss alternatives too

Botox can be used in many different regions, but most commonly is injected into the following facial regions:  forehead (to correct horizontal lines and frown, or scowl, lines) and around the eyes (to correct crow’s feet).  It can also be used to correct an overly wide jaw by relaxing the masseter muscles, as well as correcting “potato chin,” the “bunny lines” on the sides of the nose, the platysmal bands of the neck, and the underarms to correct excessive sweating.  Botox is an excellent, noninvasive way to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. For deep, etched lines, I might suggest hyaluronic-acid-based fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane, or possibly lasers depending on your skin type.  For best results, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in non-invasive facial-rejuvenation techniques.
