BOTOX

1.  What Does Botox in the Chin Do?

Chin Botox has numerous benefits, such as minimizing wrinkles, dimples, and fine lines. People often utilize this treatment to appear more youthful and remove jowls and a double chin. Chin Botox is a part of Nefertiti Lift Botox and Full Face Botox, popular options for achieving these results.

2. Does Botox Under the Chin Work?

Since 2005, Botox injections have been used under the chin to improve appearance. This technique, called the Nefertiti Lift, originated in France and has been enhanced by aesthetic injectors worldwide. Recent research has shown that at least three muscles, including

• the neck muscle, Platysma
• the muscle that pulls down the corners of the lips
• the chin muscle

work together to make a person look sad and older.
Relaxing these muscles removes a double chin and jowls to look young

3. Can You Put Botox for Double Chin?

Improving the aesthetic of a double chin area can be achieved through Botox. It does not remove fat but instead relaxes a group of muscles that pull the skin down, forming jowls and double chin. By relaxing this muscle, Botox can provide the fastest way to remove the double chin.

4. Can Botox in the Chin Change Your Smile?

In the past, Botox was injected under the chin to relax the muscle that pulls lip corners down. However, new research from 2023 has led to a change in technique. It was found that this muscle can be as thick as half a centimeter or even as thin as a thread. Additionally, it's now recommended to inject Botox not only in the muscle that pulls the lips down but also in others that work in collaboration with it.

As a result, the amount of Botox injected in the muscle pulling down the lip corners was reduced by almost half, but the number of injection sites tripled. It's important to note that smile asymmetry is not a possible side effect of Botox. Instead, Botox lifts lip corners, creating a younger and friendlier appearance.
From the Expert: I prefer Botox over Dysport for the lower third of the face because Botox has a lower diffusion rate, reducing the risk of the Botulinum toxin infiltrating unwanted muscles in the area.

5. What to Expect After Chin Botox?

Botox takes around 4 days to start working, showing the maximum result in 2-3 weeks. When you receive Botox injections in your chin, you can expect jowl removal, double chin removal, cheekbone lifting, and jawline definition. As a result, you will end up looking younger. To avoid any issues, try not to touch or rub the treated area. You might experience slight side effects such as swelling or mild bruising, but these side effects typically last only between 1 and 3 days.

6.  How long does Botox under the chin last?

3-4 months

Chin Botox is a popular cosmetic procedure that typically lasts for 3-4 months until the neurotoxin wears off. The results of Botox under the chin usually become visible within 4-5 days after the injection, with maximum effect within 2 -3 weeks. The outcome may vary depending on the number of units used. In general, chin Botox provides a temporary solution to those who want to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, jowls, or double chin.

From the Expert:  It is important to note that different factors, including the year's season, may affect Botox results' longevity. It lasts shorter in summer usually.

7. Does Botox in the Chin Affect Your Smile?

If Botox injections are not done correctly in the chin, it can affect one's smile. A Botox overdose can also cause problems. Previously, Botox was injected under the chin to relax the only muscle pulling down the corners of the lips. However, new research from 2023 has shown that this technique can create issues. The study found that the muscle that pulls down the lip corners can vary in thickness from half a centimeter to a thread. Therefore, it is now recommended to inject Botox not only in the muscle that pulls the lips down but also in others that collaborate with it. The amount of Botox injected in the muscle that pulls down the lip corners has been reduced by almost half, and the number of injection sites has tripled.
From the Expert: The best way to avoid Botox side effects is to start with the smaller effective dosage and see your aesthetic injector in 2 weeks to add some units for a desirable Botox result.

8.  Can Botox Lift Your Jawline?

Yes, Botox can lift your jawline.

Several non-surgical techniques can help you achieve a more youthful and tighter appearance if you want to contour your jawline and reduce jowls, and Botox injections are one of them. These techniques define your jawline, removing saggy skin and double chin. One popular technique is the Botox injection, known as the Nefertiti lift. Over time, this technique has evolved, with changes being made to the number of Botox units used and injection sites, ensuring the best possible outcome for jawline definition.

9. How Many Units of Botox for the Chin?

Women typically require 5-6 units for chin only, while men may need a double dosage. The procedure helps to relax the chin muscles, reducing asymmetry and preventing aging. If the muscle is overworked, it can suppress the fat under the muscle, resulting in faster fat disappearance and making the chin appear smaller in proportion to the face.

As we age, many people over 50 complain that their chin disappears or becomes more expansive, making them look older. There are options to address this issue, including Volux Juvederm to replace the chin volume. However, if you want longer-lasting results and to prevent your fat from disappearing in the chin area, Botox, besides dermal filler, is an ideal solution.

Even if you don't plan on getting dermal filler injections, Botox can still be used to look younger and prevent aging. It is essential to consider your options and choose the solution that works best for you.

10. Can Botox Help With Chin Fat?

Botox can be a helpful solution if you're looking to improve the appearance of a double chin. It's essential to keep in mind that Botox doesn't actually remove any fat, but it works by relaxing the muscles that can contribute to a sagging jawline. By targeting these muscles, Botox can help create a more refined and attractive facial profile, giving you the confidence boost you want.

This appointment is your opportunity to tell us about your “natural signs of aging” concerns and discover whether Botox fits you well! During the consultation, you will talk with a cosmetic nurse or clinical esthetician and create the right care plan, especially for your signs of aging. 

11. Where Not to Inject Botox in the Chin?

When injecting Botox in the chin, it's important to be cautious about the injection depth. The chin area has many muscles at different depths, so it's easy for the product to diffuse or be injected into the wrong muscle, which can lead to undesired results.

From the Expert: The technique for chin injections has recently changed significantly in 2023. Anatomists have provided new information about the complex positions of facial muscles, leading to a reduction in both the dosage and depth of injection. Thanks to technology, we have gained new knowledge about facial anatomy, which has led to the development of new Botox injection techniques.

12. Does Botox in the Chin Feel Weird?

Botox injections in the lower part of the face and chin can be more painful than injections in other areas. If you choose to get Botox injections in your chin and neck, you may experience some discomfort for the first three weeks while doing abdominal exercises.

From the Expert: If you are close to 60, you may experience bruises in the jowl area after Botox injections. These are minor and barely visible bruises, and they color yellow for 2-3 days after the injections.

13. Why is My Smile Weak After Botox?

If you receive too much Botox in the DAO muscles or the injections are too deep, it could affect your smile. This is because the DAO muscle is located in a superficial area. However, there are medical aesthetic treatments available to help restore your smile. At medVSPA, we offer such treatments specifically for those experiencing a weak smile after Botox injections.

14.  Can Botox Slim Under the Chin?

Yes, Botox can indeed make you look slimmer. Botox injections can be administered into the Masseter muscle responsible for chewing. It helps to slim under the chin and smooth out the appearance of your face. Additionally, Botox can help to reduce the appearance of sagging skin around the neck. Botox can also help to reduce the activity of muscles that pull down on the corners of your lips and chin, resulting in a more defined jawline and a slimmer appearance. 

15. Can Botox Get Rid of Jowls?

Yes, Botox can help to remove jowls. Jowls are the result of a hyper tone of a group of muscles:

• neck muscle
• chin muscle
• DAO muscle

Getting rid of jowls and double chin can make you look younger. One way to achieve this is by relaxing the muscles that cause them. A popular contemporary solution for this is getting Full Face Botox. This technique targets most depressor facial muscles, which helps lift and tighten the skin, leading to a more youthful appearance.

16. Can Botox in the Chin Lift the Corners of the Mouth?

Over time, the DAO muscle can become more robust, and in some cases, people may experience a constant state of contraction in this muscle. This can result in the corners of the mouth being pulled downwards, leading to an unhappy facial expression. Botox can help to relax the DAO muscle and the group of muscles around it, leading to lifting the corners of the mouth, the definition of the jawline, and removing a double chin.
From the Expert: Looking to lift the corners of your mouth? While Botox injections can undoubtedly help, sometimes dermal fillers are also required. A combination of Botox and dermal fillers is recommended for optimal and long-lasting results, particularly if you are 60 years old or above.

17. Does Botox Go in the Chin?

Yes, Botox relaxes a big chin muscle.
As we age, our chin muscles can create aging signs such as lower face asymmetry, wrinkles, and fine lines. The aggressive muscle work we experience naturally as we age can also affect the amount of fat in the chin area, leading to a "disappearing chin." However, Botox injections in the chin area can relax muscles and help you appear more youthful.

18. Does Botox Work for Saggy Chin?

Botox injections can help to relax the muscles in the chin, which can remove wrinkles and dimples. The technique involves injecting a small amount of Botox deep into the muscles to relax them while injecting some units superficially to soothe the skin and superficial branches of the chin muscle. It is a relatively new injection technique introduced in 2023, and it can effectively remove sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles in the chin area.

19. Can Botox in the Chin Affect Speech?

Chin Botox injections can sometimes affect speech due to deep placement or high dosage, affecting the surrounding muscles or nerves. However, the injection technique has changed in the past two years. Now, the focus is reducing the Botox dosage per site and relaxing the depressor muscles. It creates a natural and youthful appearance that is friendly and movable.

20. Can Botox Make Your Chin Sharper?

Injections of Botox in the lower third of the face can help improve the appearance of your jawline, making your face look slimmer and reducing the appearance of a double chin. Consider getting dermal filler injections if you want a sharper chin. One of the most innovative products available is Juvederm Volux, often called a "chin implant." This dermal filler can help make your chin look sharper and more defined. Juvederm Volux typically lasts for up to two years.

21. Why do people put Botox on the Chin?

The majority of people use Chin Botox to remove dimples, wrinkles, and fine lines. Many people use Chin Botox as a part of Nefertiti lift Botox or full Face Bootox to look younger and remove jowls and double chin.
Chin Botox relaxes a group of muscles that work together, pulling down jowls and creating dimples and asymmetry on your chin.
