Botox Cosmetic New OrleansĀ
I have a very square jaw. I think it makes me look masculine. Can filler or laser improve that?
Ā Actually the best remedy for an overly squared jaw is Botox. It will relax the masseter muscle and soften the line, making your squared face look more like an oval or heart (and most consider that more feminine). It may also improve any TMJ symptoms you may have from jaw clenching.
Is It Safe to Have Botox on Anti Depressants?
Ā Yes, it is safe. In fact, there is data to suggest that Botox may have a mild anti-depressant action in some patients. Anecdotally, I did see this effect in my depressed patients after hurricane Katrina and the levee breach failure caused the flooding of my city.
How Does Botox Work to Stop Crow’s Feet?
Ā Crow’s feet are created by a variety of factors, but most commonly are the result of overuse of our facial muscle the orbicularis oculi used to squint and smile. A small amount of Botox injected into this muscle will prevent the area from wrinkling when these facial expressions are made. This is most effective for the upper crow’s feet. The lower crow’s feet are actually created from your cheek pushing skin upward when you smile. A small amount of filler in these fine lines can improve the appearance of lower crow’s feet that extend down onto your cheek.
