27, female, can Botox address my chin issues or will I need to do something more? (Photo)

Thank you for sharing your concerns. It sounds like you're considering various options to address changes in your facial appearance following significant weight loss. Here are some thoughts on how Botox might help, along with other considerations:

Botox for the Mentalis Muscle: Botox can indeed be effective for relaxing the mentalis muscle, which may help in reducing the appearance of a prominent or protruding chin when you smile. This can lead to a smoother and more balanced appearance of the lower face.

TMJ and Overactive Muscles: Since you mentioned TMJ, Botox can also be used to relax overactive jaw muscles. This might help alleviate some of the tension and contribute to a more refined jawline appearance.

Invisalign and Bite Correction: Correcting your bite with Invisalign can also have a positive impact on your facial aesthetics. As your bite improves, you might notice changes in how your jaw and chin align, which could further enhance your results.

Consultation with a Specialist: It's best to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can assess your specific needs and recommend a tailored treatment plan. They can evaluate your facial structure and muscle activity to determine if Botox or another procedure might be more suitable.

Combination Treatments: Depending on your goals, a combination of treatments such as fillers, Botox, or even surgical options might be recommended to achieve the desired outcome.

I hope this helps guide you in making an informed decision. Please consult with a qualified healthcare provider for personalized advice.

You will likely have the best outcome from a combination of treatments. Botox can be used to help alleviate symptoms of TMJ and slim the jawline. Botox when used for the chin helps with the "orange peel" appearance. Fillers and other treatments can help give you more of the jawline you are wanting.

Consecutive treatment with Botox in your mentalis can relax and eventually atrophy or shrink the muscle. An in person evaluation would be needed for a more accurate assessment and treatment plan. Keep in mind as we age, good bone structure in the chin and jawline keeps us looking younger longer. So use caution when reducing projection in these areas.
