Botox
I was wondering if I could use Botox/fillers to help lift my cheeks up and create a slimmer/sharper facial appearance?
A good treatment for your concerns is either fillers or fat transfer. Both of these can be used to improve cheek definition. Botox can also be injected into the masseters to create a slimming effect along the jawline. I recommend consulting with an experienced, licensed practitioner for further evaluation and treatment recommendations.
Clinical Context
Cheek filler results look best once post-injection swelling resolves, which can take a couple of weeks, so early photos may look fuller or higher than the final outcome. Masseter Botox works differently: it blocks signals to the muscle within days, but the slimmer jaw appearance develops gradually as the muscle shrinks from reduced use, often taking a few months to become fully noticeable. Because these treatments work on different timelines, combined cheek and jaw results are best judged only after both have fully settled.
