Fat cheek

Postby yuki » Tue Jun 08, 2010 9:50 pm

Hi, i have fat on my cheek and my jaw that makes my face look huge. Wonder will it help to reduce my face size if i go for the botox injection? I am quite a thin person and really look weird with a huge face.
Need your advise.

hi,
first if you are under 30, don't do anything. you will lose your fat soon enough. everyone does. that is part of aging. the way to tell if you are a good candidate for botox of the masseter is to bite down hard and to see if your muscles flare and become rock hard near the outer jawbone. i know that is hard to know without comparison but that is how you tell whether the botox will work for you or not.
best,
sml
