Botox
Do you think I would benefit from jawline Botox and a non-surgical eyebrow lift? Would something else be better?
Botox in the massters is a great way to slim the face and has some functional benefits if you happen to grind/clench your teeth. It's best to have an in person evaluation to determine whether you have true masseter hypertrophy. Nonsurgical brow lifts with Botox are generally modest. Depending on how much lift your expecting, your provider will recommend a treatment that's best for you. Make sure to seen an experienced, board-certified provider. Hope that helps!
Clinical Context
Masseter Botox works by temporarily relaxing the jaw muscle. This can ease clenching-related tension and, with repeated treatments, gradually soften a square jawline as the muscle shrinks slightly from reduced use. A Botox brow lift works differently: it relaxes the muscles that pull the eyebrows down, allowing them to sit slightly higher. The lift tends to be subtle rather than dramatic, and how much change you see depends on your individual muscle pattern and the strength of those depressor muscles to begin with.
