BOTOX Square Jaw
Muscle Debulking using BOTOX
By blocking the action of selected muscles, very much like in treating wrinkles, we can cause the eventual atrophy (loss of muscle size) in those muscles.
A common area where this technique is applied as part of facial sculpting is the masseter muscle. A strong masseter muscle is often referred to as "the square jaw".
Schedule for Square Jaw Reduction
The follow-ups differ from wrinkle treatments. Muscle atrophy does not appear until after 1 month. Therefore, the followups are scheduled only after 1 month. Subsequent injections are initially 4-5 moths then dragging longer till eventually about 6-9 months.
The SQUARE JAW
The square jaw can actually look good on men. In fact even the band of muscle below the eye also gives a somewhat manly character. But it's a different matter if the aim is to have a demure feminine face. BOTOX can weaken the masseter muscle giving a softer angle at the jaw in women who have a squarish face.
Other areas
Band of Muscle under the Eye
The small band of muscle is responsible for some of the wrinkles under the eyes. BOTOX will therefore reduce the wrinkles as well as widen the eye a little. The only problem with this is that very often, a herniation of the fat pads under the eyes can occur. This gives rise to "eyebags". So do not assume your problems can be solved with just BOTOX. The orbicularis occuli muscle is also part of the lifting muscles of the face and over weakening it may actually cause the face to sag. A consultation is needed to give an accurate estimate as to whether BOTOX can help or whether it will instead cause "eyebags" and "sagging Face".
Big Calves
2 reasons why we have stopped treating calves. From our experience, the amount of reduction after spending thousands of dollars on many repeated is very small. So small that sometimes we aren't too sure if it was imagined. The other reason is that of antibodies. You are after all injecting BOTOX like vaccinations and inevitably, there will be immunity (antibodies) to the BOTOX. So, more and more BOTOX is needed as time goes by. Until it becomes absurd to try catching up with it. Our conclusion: Forget about BOTOX into calf muscles. Do VASER on calves instead. Otherwise do not look at it too much.
