Los Angeles BOTOX – Square Jaw Reduction
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”. But we will also discuss here BOTOX into the band of muscle below the eye and the calves.
Schedule for Muscle Size Reduction
“We reserve the right to reject absurd requests… e.g. Square jaw reduction in men or reduction of oversized calves in ladies.”
The follow-ups differ from wrinkle treatments. The initial 3-5 follow-ups are deliberately timed very closely to ensure that the muscle targeted is kept weak for at least one and a half years. Only then will atrophy take place and the desired face shape be obtained.
BOTOX® Square Jaw Reduction
The square jaw can actually look good on men. In fact the band of muscle below the eye also gives a somewhat manly character.
But it’s a different matter for the demure feminine jaw line. BOTOX® can weaken the masseter muscle giving a softer angle at the jaw.
Cost of BOTOX® Jaw Reshaping
Square Jaw Reduction with BOTOX® costs $1,600 depending on how strong one’s masseter muscle is. Treatments are repeated at 3 month intervals for 9-12 months.
Band of Muscle below the eyes
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. A consultation is needed to give an accurate estimate as to whether BOTOX can help or whether it will cause “eyebags”.
