Can Botox be used to reduce the jaw line? I have a very squared face and would like to get a more triangular outline. Thank you. Lisa

Dear Lisa, Yes, Botox can be used for this purpose. The popularity of Botox in Houston continues to increase and we see a multitude of requests for reasons beyond wrinkle reduction. Botox can be administered to the maseter muscles (muscle of chewing or mastication) in the jaw reducing the size and prominence of the jaw. This is procedure mostly sought after by female patients looking to achieve a more triangular facial contour. At the Botox Houston Clinics, we have performed this procedure with superb results. Experience is needed not to exceed the necessary units to achieve this effect without weakening the jaw, which may make chewing difficult. Please visit our Botox Houston Clinics for more information. http://www.botox-houston-texas.com/botox_jaw.html     M. Pappolla, MD, PhD
