I have a very broad jaw and being a woman it is something I have never liked. - Facial Plastic Surgery

Question:

I have a very broad jaw and being a woman it is something I have never liked. Recently I read that Botox can be used to weaken the jaw muscles to make it appear less broad. How effective is this?

Answer:

Generally speaking, I would say that this is not a very effective procedure. Botox may give the jaw muscles some relaxation, however it is not a particular procedure that I recommend or encourage to my patients.
