I’m not sure if I have jowls or just a weird jawline? (Photo)

Humorous481600Oct 16, 2024
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.

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.

Usually, the difficulties with chin reduction are caused by the soft tissue chin pad. Looking at your photos, I would recommend some fine tuning. A "chin tuck" of the soft tissue pad can be performed from a submental approach reducing the projection of soft tissue. In addition, I have been...
