Typically, when we inject Botox to reduce the jawline (masseur), the goal is to... The jaw muscles become smaller. To make the face look slimmer (V-Shape), but when the jaw muscles shrink, it's like the "support base for the skin" in the cheek area disappears.

To put it simply... It's like taking a cushion out of its pillowcase. If the pillow flattens, the pillowcase (skin) becomes loose and sags, creating a depression under the cheekbones. This can make the face appear gaunt, sharp like a mosquito, or even tired in some patients.

Who is at risk of getting the "mosquito-like" vaccine?

If so, the doctor may recommend injections. Dermolift technique (face lifting) It helps to lift the skin instead of performing a full jaw reduction procedure, or by injecting a smaller amount of jaw reduction medication.
  • Correction: If after the injection your face becomes sunken (like a mosquito's face), the good news is... Botox has an expiration date. Once the medication wears off, the muscles will gradually return to their original state. But if you can't wait, a second dose is needed. Filler Applying treatment to sunken cheeks can instantly restore a fuller, more radiant complexion.
