As I get older my face has filled out and gained a little more volume. This is also probably due to me coming off of anti-depressants as well, which has caused me to regain some of my appetite and eat more. Ugh! I was concerned that my profile wasn't looking as nice as it used to in the mirror and in pictures. I randomly came across something about jawline slimming with Botox and started researching it. It seemed like a quick and efficient way to start slimming my face down.

I wanted to visit with the best doctor I could see in my area because this is my face and I didn't want any surprises. Dr. Chaboki has a superb reputation and I am so thrilled I went with him. And wow, what a difference these injections have made! Dr. C is a master at injecting, I would much rather pay a few hundred more to get perfect, beautiful results than pay less with someone less experienced at a med-spa or something. A few days after my injections my face looks sculpted, the slimming takes about 1-2 weeks to show. I think I get 30 units in each side of my face. This has also helped lessen my teeth-grinding at night. There is no pain when the doctor injects and I had a tiny bruise that was easily covered with makeup.

Wow, that's great, thank you for sharing! Do you have any pics you can share?

Do you have it injected right into the jaw and if so, does it hurt?

Hey! Yes, it is injected into the masseter muscle in the jaw! They numb it beforehand, it's just a tiny pinch.

Thank you for sharing! My doctor has suggested ultherapy for tightening the jaw line, but I'm a little bit concerned about that procedure -- it has such mixed reviews. I'm going to ask about using Botox like you.

You look great! Might have to give him a try. How long do the results last?

Results last about three months, but each time you get an injection the muscles weaken and weaken, so you don't need as much over time. An ethical provider will tell you exactly how much you need - sometimes I ask for 15 units on each side, and they're like - you don't need that much!

Hi there,
Beautiful results! Just wondering if your lip is caused by the Botox if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks

Sorry for the late reply! My lips are natural and looking weird in these photos, lol. But they are naturally plump!

Just updating with some better photos that really show a big difference the shots have had on reducing my facial volume.
The injections have really helped me cut down on grinding my teeth at night (wearing my night guard helps too).
