There is more than one reason why the jawline may look blunt or angular — it may appear angular due to enlarged masseter muscles, or the jawline may be obscured by submental fat. The treatment method varies depending on the cause.
After directly examining the masseter muscles and submental fat by palpation, the lead physician customizes the Botox dosage and injection sites. The same approach is not used for everyone.
Results and duration vary from person to person and typically last about 3–4 months. If the underlying cause is the bone structure itself, the extent of change may be limited.
Swelling, bruising, pain, or warmth may occur at the treatment site. In rare cases, discomfort when chewing or temporary weakness of the facial expression muscles may occur. Treatment may be restricted for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding or who have neuromuscular disorders.
