A common area where this particular botulinum toxin injection technique is applied, as part of facial sculpting and slimming, is into the masseter muscle. A strong or hypertrophic masseter muscle is often referred to as “The Square Jaw”. We cannot discuss on this webpage, due to MOH regulations, the advantages of each of the various brands of Botulinum Toxins. But there are differences in terms of immunogenicity factors.
The strong jawline 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. Botulinum Toxins can weaken the masseter muscle giving a softer angle at the jaw in women who have a squarish face.
The small band of muscle is responsible for some of the wrinkles under the eyes. Botulinum Toxins will help 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 Botulinum Toxins. 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 Botulinum Toxins can help or whether it will instead cause “eyebags” and “sagging Face”.
Botulinum Toxins can sculpt the muscles of the calves if they appear to bulky. The Botulinum toxins works by causing muscle atrophy in the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Alternatively, we also do Vaser Liposuction to slim the calves. Otherwise just accept it and do not look at it too much.
