Answer Snippet
Which procedure would help minimize the appearance of horizontal line between my eyes after bridge an
Two different procedures required.
Nov 22, 2023
In order for the contour to be continuous or congruent between the forehead and the nose, adequate fillers must be placed and contoured appropriately and naturally.
Another consideration in addition, may require the use of neuromodulator to weaken the procerus muscle that maybe increasing the crease there.
Please see an expert in Australia, there are many, to “finish” the job appropriately and safely.
Good luck.
What would you recommend for my tear troughs?
With an experienced injector, significant improvement is definitely possible.
Dec 22, 2022
Please consult an experienced injector in person for the best results. Choose your provider carefully as this is one of the more difficult areas. Good luck.
Are the effects of Botox for overdeveloped masseter muscles long-standing?
Simply yes.
Nov 27, 2022
The benefit of neuromodulators such as Botox is that the effects do wear off. With regularly injected masseters, you will see a reduction in dosage required to maintain the appropriate size. If given enough time to recover, most individuals will see a return to full size unless their habits and circumstances change.

3. Energy based device to tighten the skin.
4. Botox or other toxins to relax plastyma muscle.
How can I slim down my face? More oval?
Start with midface fillers
Jul 17, 2022
Masseter Botox will not help with the sagging. See an experienced injector to work on your cheeks to reduce the sagging and at the same time, will optically slim your lower face to reduce the roundness.
Am I a good candidate for masseter Botox?
Yes possible but…
Jun 1, 2022
1. Using toxins to reduce the pressure load on TMJ can relieve symptoms but not necessarily wipe out all symptoms. Need to discuss with an experienced injector, be physically assessed in person and try it! Avoid those that use the same dosage for all patients.
2. Sometimes the asymmetry is due to mandibular bone differences and injecting masseters alone may not achieve a patient’s expectations.
3. Agree the chin was not done beautifully and should be modified. If HA fillers are used, it can…
