What can I do to minimize the appearance of my round jaw line? (photo)

Question

Hi, How can I make my jawline not so round from head on? Have masseter Botox already

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Botox to the masseter muscles can help to slim the jawline.  You can also consider FaceTite which uses RF technology to tighten skin and melt fat.  Another option is Morpheus8.  You can learn more about these treatments by visiting my website or a provider near you.

Masseter botox is a great place to start -- this can be a very strong muscle and require larger amounts of neuromodulator. Without knowing how many units as well as before / after photos from previous session, I am not able to confidently recommend attempting again. However, it may be as simple of a solution as increasing the amount of units. Facial balancing with filler or other products like sculptra can also help minimize appearance of jawline. Going in for a consultation with an advanced injector would be crucial prior to formulating treatment plan.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Masseter Botox is a good option if you grind your teeth or clench your jaw, as this will help shrink the muscle, which can give a more contoured appearance to the cheeks and lower face. To additionally help tighten the jawline, lower face neurotoxin can help, especially treating specific muscles such as the DAO and platysmal bands. If hesitant about lower face neurotoxin, dermal filler can be placed in specific areas to help accentuate jawline structure. There are an array of treatment modalities, so I would suggest consulting with a practitioner who specializes in facial aesthetics for appropriate recommendations.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello cofffeecake1! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. Generally, it takes about 6-8 weeks to see the slimming effect of the masseter muscle after receiving the treatment. Afterwards, you may need an additional 1-2 treatments depending on the muscle. I hope this helps!
