My cheekbone area got bigger after getting square jaw Botox.
I have attached a photo; as you can see, my square jaw has shrunk, but the upper part, where the muscles didn't decrease, has widened. I even feel the muscles under my cheekbones tensing up when I eat. I've heard this isn't a side effect but rather due to compensatory muscles. Has anyone else experienced their muscles under their cheekbones growing larger like mine after getting square jaw Botox? It is uncomfortable when I open my mouth because the muscles above my square jaw have enlarged too much as a compensatory reaction. Should I get Botox on the upper jaw as well after getting the square jaw? I saw online that there are others with the same concern regarding square jaw compensatory muscles, but I haven't seen any posts explaining how to resolve it. My face shape has changed; what would be the best course of action?

- 01CommentsI think it is a really prudent and good attitude to consider movement discomfort first rather than deciding based solely on the results! If you ask about movement during meals and monitoring options during the consultation, you won't regret it.330026.11.03
- 02CommentsHello. Square jaw Botox is an effective procedure for reducing muscle size, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will cure the habit of clenching your jaw. It typically takes 2-3 months for the muscles to return to normal after the procedure, although this varies from person to person. Re-treatment is possible on the same area at a minimum interval of 3 months. You may experience some discomfort due to soreness when chewing tough foods (such as meat or squid) after the procedure. For one week after the procedure, please avoid saunas, steam rooms, swimming pools, alcohol, smoking, and strenuous exercise that causes sweating. We recommend visiting our clinic for a detailed consultation. Thank you for your inquiry.200026.11.04

- 01CommentsSince wrinkles around the mouth are in an area that moves a lot when speaking or smiling, I imagine you are most concerned about whether your facial expressions will look natural after the procedure. The choice between Botox and fillers depends on the cause of the wrinkles, so I recommend consulting with a doctor to compare recovery times and lasting effects.590026.10.30
