Heart-Shaped Face Can Be Sculpted with Botox and Filler

Contouring the Cheeks, Chin and Jawline

There’s no denying that a heart-shaped face is both feminine and attractive. But what do you do if you don’t fall into the category of a heart-shaped stunner? Perhaps you’ve been born with a face that’s too flat, round or square. Or maybe your prominent jawline makes your look too masculine for your liking and you desire softer, more delicate features. The great news is that you can subtly or dramatically (you choose) transform your face by contouring your facial features without surgery using Botox and dermal filler.

Choose a Highly Skilled Doctor

A heart-shaped face is characterized by higher cheekbones, chiseled jawline and slightly pointy chin. To achieve this desired feminine ideal an experienced injector is crucial as he/she will need to consider which facial features to enhance and which ones to minimize. It all starts with a personalized consultation.

Slimming the Lower Face with Botox

If your jawline is overly square or prominent then Botox injected in the masseters will weaken the muscles, giving the lower face a more contoured and heart-shaped appearance. Dosing is typically dependent on the size and strength of your masseters and results are gradual, taking up to 30 days for full effect.

To maintain your slimmer jawline Botox treatments will need to be repeated every 8-12 months. Discontinuing Botox injections will result in return of your jawline to its original shape and appearance.

Juvederm to Enhance the Cheeks and Chin

Next, sculpt the upper face. Juvederm Voluma, a cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler, can be used in the lateral cheeks to build attractive structural contours to augment an oval or flat face, endowing it with the coveted v-shape. Furthermore, the chin can be enhanced (made less round or square) by lengthening the tip and giving it more projection.
