Many people notice that, as they age, the skin of the chin tends to develop a rough and coarse texture similar to the texture of an orange peel. 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.
A mental crease is the most common way to refer to this specific skin crease condition. A chin muscle called the mentalis is usually the culprit in this scenario. If the lines are too pronounced or too plentiful, then dermal fillers are not up to the task. Botox cosmetic provides a very easy, inexpensive and very effective way to improve these conditions.
To treat this condition, it is injected into the mentalis muscle, usually in two separate injections near the tip of the chin on either side of the midline. As for the horizontal chin crease, the same action of the mentalis muscle tends to draw the skin of the chin upward, exaggerating this crease. A way to lessen the severity of the horizontal chin crease is to inject into the muscle. This ends up making it look much less noticeable.
The Jaw
It can now be used to downsize a disproportioned jaw. This jaw reduction affects the jaw muscle. 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.
Women who feel as though their jaws are too square or masculine are the most common groups seeking treatment for jaw reduction. This trait is often caused by the large muscle responsible for the eating motion. The doctor injects into the masseter, during the jaw reduction procedure. This ends up putting the muscle 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.
Compared to surgical jaw reduction, this jaw augmentation offers a less invasive solution to oversized jaws.
What Can you Expect
The target area may show small red dots after the procedure. Some patients have reported minor bruising or swelling after their injections. This is easily covered with make-up. In fact, if any marks do occur, they will normally disappear after a few hours.
Botox Staying Power
You'll likely need to revisit your doctor for a follow up injection after four to six months. Most patients come several times during the first year. Then, depending on the difficulties and problem areas they are treating, they may come two to three times a year after that. After the muscles have been relaxed for a while, it takes less frequent treatments to maintain the effect.
