A broad face can be a major challenge for those wanting a slimmer, more contoured V-shape or oval face. One effective solution is V-shape jaw Botox. Most people are highly satisfied with the results.
However, before deciding, it's important to understand how Botox works on your face, its pros and cons, and the changes you can expect. Most importantly, determine if this treatment suits your specific needs. Let's find out more!
Botulinum Toxin Type A, commonly known as Botox, works directly on the nerve system in muscle cells. It causes muscles to relax temporarily and eventually shrink in size.
You can start noticing changes within approximately 2-4 weeks after the injection.
The effects typically last around 3-4 months before the Botox naturally wears off, depending on individual body and lifestyle habits. After that, you can choose to have another session if desired.
As I explained earlier, V-shape jaw Botox is a safe injection procedure with very low risks of dangerous side effects. At MEGA CLINIC, we exclusively use authentic Botox products sourced directly from authorized distributors in Thailand.
Here, we have specialized doctors overseeing every step from facial assessment, treatment procedures, to follow-up appointments. You can verify the credentials of our doctors, including their medical licenses, without any doubt.
Another convenience of Botox injections is that there are no special restrictions in the preparation phase before getting the injection. However, those concerned about persistent needle marks might need to avoid taking supplements or certain medications such as:
The main factors that cause the Botox to dissipate early in the initial period after injection include direct exposure to temperatures exceeding 60 degrees Celsius for an extended period.
For general heat exposure in daily life, such as having hot pot meals, grilling, using a hairdryer, and taking warm baths, these activities can still be performed as usual. However, it is recommended to avoid activities involving high heat exposure, such as:
After V-shape jaw Botox, you may feel slight fatigue while speaking or chewing food. This is a normal symptom and should improve within 1-2 weeks. As for stiff smiling or incomplete smiling, the chances are very low, but if they occur, they will also resolve on their own.
Q: I like the results of my v-shape jaw Botox injections. Can I get them often?
A: You can repeat the treatment every 3-4 months, the time it takes for the Botox to wear off.
Many patients notice their jaw muscles don’t return to their original size because the muscles aren't overused during the treatment period.
Tip: Always consult your doctor before deciding. If your jaw muscles are already smaller, you might not need injections as often.
Q: I got v-shape jaw Botox injections, but my face isn’t slimmer. Why?
A: A wide face might be caused by other factors, such as excess fat on the cheeks or under the chin or jawbone structure.
For most patients, excess fat is the main issue. Combining fat-dissolving injections with v-shape jaw Botox can provide better results than Botox alone.
Q: Are there cases where v-shape jaw Botox is not recommended?
A: If your doctor finds no significant jaw muscle enlargement, Botox injections may not be necessary. Injecting Botox unnecessarily can make the face look overly thin or gaunt.
In summary, getting V-shape jaw Botox is a procedure that helps contour the face, making it slimmer. It's suitable for those worried about a broad or square face due to large jaw muscles. If there is also excess fat on the cheeks and chin, doctors may recommend combining it with fat-dissolving injections for the best results.
