Many people notice that their skin texture changes when they age. Some people notice more dramatic changes than others and some have very specific problem areas. One area that is often a source of concern is the chin area. Oftentimes, the texture of the skin becomes rough and course. Also, with aging the chin can develop small, etched, often cross-hatching lines, and many people have a horizontal chin crease which they find deepens and becomes more pronounced as they age.
The name for this particular type of creasing in the skin is a mental crease. These skin problems are primarily caused by a chin muscle called the mentalis. If the lines are too pronounced or too plentiful, then dermal fillers are not up to the task. An easy, affordable, and targeted solution to this type of problem can be met head on with Botox.
It is injected into the mentalis muscle to treat this condition. Usually, your physician will inject two separate injections near the tip of the chin on either side of the midline. The horizontal chin crease works in much the same way. The action of the mentalis muscle usually draws the skin of the chin upward, which has the effect of exaggerating this crease. The injection into the muscle can relax the mentalis and make it look less dominant. In other words, the severity of the horizontal chin crease will be reduced.
Smooth our that Jaw
It can now be used to downsize a disproportioned jaw. Since the jaw muscle is the source of the issue, jaw reduction naturally targets this area. The masseter is a muscle in the jaw that controls chewing. This is one of the target areas for the injection in this particular scenario.
Many of the patients who undergo jaw reduction are women who feel as if their jaws are too square or masculine. These are traits caused by large masseters. During this jaw reduction, the doctor injects into the masseter, putting it into a relaxed state. Just as it relaxes frown lines in the forehead and crow's feet at the corners of the eye, this treatment also relaxes the masseter muscle so that it appears softer and smaller.
Botox jaw augmentation offers a less invasive solution to oversized jaws, when compared to surgical jaw reduction.
What Can you Expect
The target area may show small red dots after the procedure. After their procedure, some patients have reported minor bruising or swelling. This is a very rare occurrence. This is easily covered with make-up. In fact, if any marks do occur, they will normally disappear after a few hours.
When Will I Require Follow Up Treatment?
A safe estimate for a follow up procedure is anywhere between the three and six month mark. Of course, patient follow up depends on the type of treatment performed and the extent of the problem area. But it's pretty typical for a patient to come several times during the first year. And then periodically for follow up in the subsequent years. After the muscles have been relaxed for a while, it takes less frequent treatments to maintain the effect.
