botox jaw please help

Postby nikkijones20010 » Sat Feb 12, 2011 1:03 pm

Hi i don't know if you can tell me if Botox will work for me.
Well i have always had a pretty square shape jaw since been young. But i started chewing gum every day for about 8-9 years so i think this may have helped in the development of my jaw. The main issue i hate is how large it. Like i wouldn’t mind if it was small and angular. My jaw at the minuet looks like a box. You cannot see my chin at all. It’s just a straight line on photos.

When i lift my skin on my jaws and cheeks up i can see a smaller angular jaw underneath. So i don't know whether this is because of extra fat on my face, even though i am very slim. Or if it’s due to the muscles on my face?

when i clench my teeth down i can feel the muscle. it seems kinda hard. but not like a rock or anything. thanks

hard to say definitively unless i saw you in person. however, if the jaw does feel very firm then it most likely is muscle.

again, i would have to feel your jaw when you clench down. if it feels very firm then the answer is yes.

Hello,

If your entire body is slim then fat ca not be reason for your shape. This must be muscles. Chewing gum work for your mouth exercise and i don't think so it can bent your facial muscles. Better you get botox or some similar kind of therapy for improved shape.
