Strategic neurotoxin placement for lifting, slimming, and defining
Beyond treating wrinkles, Botox is a powerful contouring tool when placed strategically — lifting the brow, flipping the lip, slimming the jaw, tightening the neck, and correcting asymmetries with precision.
How it works
Different muscle groups contribute to facial shape and contour in complex ways. Masseter injection (jaw slimming) relaxes the large masseter muscle — which can hypertrophy from teeth grinding — reducing lower face width and creating a more elegant V-shaped facial contour. Platysmal band injection (Nefertiti neck lift) tightens the bands in the neck and lifts the lower face by relaxing the downward pull of the platysma muscle. Lip flip injection above the upper lip causes the lip to roll outward, creating the appearance of more upper lip volume without filler. DAO (depressor anguli oris) injection reduces the downturned corners of the mouth. Brow lift injection precisely weakens brow depressors while sparing brow elevators.
What to expect
Small injections targeting specific muscles. Minimal discomfort — most patients compare it to a light pinch. Results develop over 7–14 days.
Downtime and aftercare
None.
