Facial asymmetry + wide nasal alae + downturned mouth corners These three were my biggest complexes, and among them, my lower face was the biggest one If you only looked at my eyes and nose it was okay, but my lower face was broad and my mouth area looked tight, so my smile was really not pretty But I was such a scaredy-cat that even Botox scared me, so I lived without getting any procedures, then started getting it in my early 30s, and from then on I became a Botox believer lol...
1. Jaw Botox (highly recommend) My facial asymmetry started after orthodontic correction, and even when I touched it, one side of my jaw felt like the masticatory muscle was much more developed I first got jaw Botox about 2 years ago If your jaw is muscle-type, I seriously recommend jaw Botox no matter what My face shape became unbelievably slimmer The only thing I’d call a side effect is that my chewing strength does get a bit weaker, I guess? I already had no cheek fat and slightly prominent cheekbones, so my face was peanut-shaped, but once my jaw got smaller, instead of looking like a peanut, it just became a V-line with a bit of side cheekbone width I think that’s actually better Since 2 years ago, I’ve been getting jaw Botox regularly, and the whole vibe of my face is just different from before Especially in photos, I look much x1000000 prettier, and even when I gain weight, my face doesn’t look puffy Assuming your jaw is muscle-type, I think it’s the best procedure in terms of price and side effects versus risk To make it last longer, when eating I really tried to avoid putting force into my jaw as much as possible and didn’t eat tough foods, so the effect lasted quite a while The first time I got it, it felt like it lasted almost a year? But for me, a face without much cheek fat suits me, so it was fine, but if you’re worried your cheeks might look even more hollow, that may be a different issue
2. Nasal ala Botox (so-so) My nose isn’t extremely big (not a bulbous nose), but the nasal base is a bit wide and I have a habit of flaring my nostrils I heard it was perfect for someone like that, so I got it, and first of all, I could definitely see my nose looking a bit smaller for a few weeks But the problem is the effect is soooo short.... It honestly felt like it didn’t even last 1 month lololol And because my nostrils lost strength, my runny nose just kept dripping lolololololol If you have rhinitis, think carefully... I got it about twice, but I don’t plan to get it anymore
3. Mouth-corner Botox (recommend - will probably vary a lot by person) My mouth isn’t even on the small side, but my mouth area looked tight I really admired smiles where the mouth stretched wide to the sides and showed the mouth corners/opening, But of course no matter how much I practiced, it didn’t work haha... Even when I smiled brightly to lift my mouth corners, the most I could get was a straight line And when I looked at photos taken unconsciously in everyday life, my mouth area always looked so ugly Think of Kim Gura’s mouth shape. It was such a huge complex that I almost didn’t smile much I figured this was just an issue of my natural bone structure and muscles, so I gave up and lived with it Then I found out there was something called mouth-corner Botox, thought about it a lot, and finally got it It doesn’t make the mouth corners lift sharply like getting mouth-corner Botox + filler, So people expecting that will be disappointed (I didn’t get filler) But after getting Botox, I get that open mouth-corner look when I smile;; Maybe because the muscle that pulls the mouth corner downward is near the ends of the lips and gets affected, But I got an effect I hadn’t expected at all, so I’m really very satisfied My smiling face looks much more open and refreshing? I recommend it if you have the same concern as me
I got all domestic products, and since I’m worried about developing resistance, I’m planning to try Xeomin from now on
