BOTOX® Cosmetic Before & After Case 163

Dr. Lepore uses injectable treatments such as BOTOX® Cosmetic to give his San Jose patients a wide range of enhancements, and not just wrinkle and crease relaxation.

This young woman wanted to reduce the size of the masseter muscles (jaw muscles), which she felt were overly prominent, as well as uneven.

Dr. Lepore injected BOTOX into the areas to relax the muscle and reduce its prominence. After treatment, our patient noted a significant softening of the angle of her jaw.

In addition, she had injections of JUVÉDERM®, a dermal filler, to further re-shape and define her jawline. She is very pleased with the results of her injections.

On average, BOTOX injections need to be repeated after 3 to 4 months. Resutls from JUVÉDERM injections typically last from 6 months to a year.
