Neuromodulators used for a slimming effect of the jaw area in a younger woman

Non-surgical treatments at Potomac Plastic Surgery continue to be very popular. Relaxers, such as Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® can smooth the skin around the eyes and forehead, but also can be used by top plastic surgeons to reshape the face, also known as "facial sculpting".

This young woman wanted to improve the shape of her lower face, which she thought was too wide and "fat" by the jaw. She also had reported chronic discomfort from migraine type headaches, jaw clenching, and muscle tension. She consulted with Washington DC facial plastic surgeon Dr. Chaboki to review non-surgical options, as she wasn't ready for other sculpting procedures such as buccal fat reduction or liposuction. She underwent jaw reduction with Botox to reduce the excess volume of the lower face due to a very strong jaw muscle.

Facial sculpting with relaxers is a quick office procedure with minimal downtime. Results develop gradually over time and typically last several months.
