I’ve always had a bit of fat under my chin and a weak jawline. But lately I feel like my lower face is saggy, when I smile I have these fat pads and I just feel like my face is too wide. I asked my injector about masseter Botox but she said it would make my jowls worse. I’d just like to know what my options are. I def want to make a change just need to know what direction to go. Thanks for any help.

There is a lot that goes into looking feminine. While you look quite feminine now, we can likely adjust your face with chin modification - e.g. a chin implant or jaw surgery. Watch our videos to learn more.
This is a constellation of procedures that can adjust those features that are making your face look different than how you like. We address the forehead, jaw, lip, nose, and cheeks among others when necessary. Watch our videos to learn more.
At times chin filler helps to minimize chin drooping downward. If one is satified with the filler results, a chin implant is a surgical option. For some patient, off-label Botox helps to relax the mentalis muscle which may limit the downward pull.
