Botox Can Be Used for Facial Slimming

Yup, a thinner face is just an injection away.

Just when you thought buccal fat removal was all the plastic surgery rage (allegedly with celebs like Chrissy Teigen, Angelina Jolie, Kendall Jenner, and Bella Hadid hopping in on the trend) in facial thinning techniques, turns out there’s a way less invasive procedure to achieve a slimmer face, and chances are you’ve already used it. To see how buccal fat removal works, read up here. And then schedule an appointment with me. Because, instead of going under the knife to have the fat removed from inside your cheeks for a slimmer face, you can now just slim your face with Botox injections. And I, Danielle Smith, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Miami botox and filler specialist at smith & co., am here to tell you all about it. 

Instead of undergoing surgery to have buccal fat removed, you can simply inject Botox into the masseter muscles, the muscles in the lower face, to soften jaw muscles, which causes noticeable facial slimming and shaping. Masseter muscles, which you can feel if you clench your jaw, help you chew food and are located toward the back of your jaw. They are incredibly strong. One of the strongest muscles in your body, actually. If you have bulky masseter muscles, it can give the face a square shape or a wider appearance. But, relaxing those muscles with Botox can help shrink the muscle and create a slimming effect, giving the face a shape that appears more oval or a heart shape. And who doesn’t want that?

And, if you mix this technique with fillers, well, let’s just say the face shape you’ve been dreaming of, is completely attainable. This technique can also help you achieve more defined cheekbones — without fillers. Yes, more defined cheeks without fillers. It’s essentially facial contouring with Botox. And the kind that doesn’t wash off.
