Hello everyone! I'm Dr. Aphirak Wongsaowasup, or as many know me, "Dr. Toeng," the founder and owner of Aurora Clinic, an aesthetic clinic dedicated to building confidence and enhancing your unique beauty in both Surat Thani and Koh Samui. Today, I'd like to have a relaxed but in-depth discussion about something many people ask about frequently: Botox!
Believe it or not, as a doctor who has been in the aesthetic clinic industry for a long time, I've seen many changes in technology and patient needs. But what remains consistently popular and acts as a "hero" in achieving a perfectly sculpted face is Botox. Especially for anyone worried about a "round face" and wanting a "V-shape face" like celebrities, I can tell you that Botox is a significant helper!
But before we delve into Botox and its ability to transform a "round face" into a "V-shape face," I want to briefly tell you about the history of Aurora Clinic. I believe that when entrusting someone with our beauty, the most important thing is confidence and understanding the clinic's philosophy.
Aurora Clinic began with my intention to create an aesthetic clinic that doesn't just focus on external beauty. We care about each patient's true feelings and needs. We believe everyone has their own unique beauty, and our duty is to help unleash that beauty to shine brighter. With a team of expert doctors and staff, modern, internationally standardized tools and products, Aurora Clinic has been trusted by patients in both Surat Thani and Koh Samui for a long time.
And, of course, one of our most popular services is Botox injections. This isn't just for reducing wrinkles but also for naturally sculpting the face into a beautiful V-shape.
What is "Botox"? How Does It Help Achieve a "V-Shape Face"?
As I mentioned, Botox is a familiar trade name, but its essential substance is Botulinum Toxin Type A. This is a protein produced by a type of bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. It might sound a bit alarming, but in medicine, this substance has been used extensively for various benefits.
Botox: From Poison to Life-Saving and Aesthetic Medicine
The story of Botulinum Toxin began in the late 19th century during an outbreak of food poisoning from contaminated sausages. Scientists discovered the cause was the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which produced a potent toxin. However, with medical advancements, scientists eventually isolated and purified this toxin, transforming it into a medicine with many uses.
In medicine, Botulinum Toxin began to be used to treat various conditions in the 1980s, such as strabismus, cervical dystonia, and other abnormal muscle spasms. It wasn't until 2002 that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Botulinum Toxin Type A for aesthetic use to reduce frown lines between the eyebrows. This marked the beginning of the widespread popularity of Botox for aesthetic enhancement worldwide.
The Amazing Mechanism of Botox
The core of Botox's action is to inhibit the release of a neurotransmitter called Acetylcholine. This substance is responsible for transmitting signals from nerves to muscles to stimulate muscle contraction. When Botox is injected into a muscle, it binds to nerve endings, temporarily blocking Acetylcholine transmission. This causes the treated muscle to relax and be unable to contract normally.
How Does This Mechanism Help Achieve a "V-Shape Face"?
From "Strong Muscles" to a "V-Shape Face": The Transformation Journey with Botox
When we inject Botox into the masseter muscle, the Botulinum Toxin Type A "blocks" the communication between the nerve and the muscle. It's like telling the muscle, "Don't work as hard anymore, you can rest."
Short-term Result: Muscle Relaxation
In the initial stage after injection, usually around 1-2 weeks, you'll start to feel less tension in the masseter muscles near your cheeks. They might feel softer to the touch. This is a sign that Botox is beginning to take effect, causing the muscles to relax and not clench as before.
Long-term Result: Muscle Atrophy (Muscle Shrinkage)
This is the key to transforming into a "V-shape face." When the masseter muscles are not stimulated to contract fully as before, due to Botox inhibiting nerve signals, the muscles will gradually "atrophy" or shrink in size. This principle is similar to how a muscle in our body gradually shrinks and weakens if we don't exercise it for a long time.
Imagine the Transformation:
Imagine that large, strong masseter muscles, which once made the jawline appear wide and square, like a "lump" that prevented a beautiful V-shape face. When we inject Botox and the muscles gradually shrink, those "lumps" will slowly recede, making the jawline appear visibly narrower and more slender.
Adjusting Facial Angles:
The shrinking of the masseter muscles also affects the angles of the face. A face that once looked wide and square (like a square shape) will gradually transform into a more slender face with a narrower chin area, making the overall face appear more V-shaped, which is a desired facial shape for many.
Subtle but Clear Difference:
This change may not happen instantly but will be a gradual process, making the transformation look natural and not abrupt. Others might notice that you look more beautiful, better, but can't quite pinpoint what you've done. That's the beautiful and natural result of Botox injections for facial contouring.
Not Just the Masseter Muscle:
Although we focus on the masseter muscle for facial slimming, in some cases, a doctor may consider injecting Botox into other areas of the face, such as the mentalis muscle (chin) to help the chin appear longer and more slender, or the platysma muscle (neck bands) to help lift and sharpen the jawline. This will further enhance the overall V-shape of the face.
From "Dr. Toeng's" Experience:
From my experience at Aurora Clinic, I have seen many patients whose facial shapes have transformed from a "round face" to a "V-shape face" with Botox. They have gained more self-confidence, are more willing to smile and take photos, and are visibly happier with their appearance.
It's true that many people may not know that the word "Botox" we commonly use is actually just a trade name for Botulinum Toxin Type A product from Allergan. It's like how we call all laundry detergent "Tide" even if it's another brand.
In reality, there are various Botulinum Toxin Type A products from different manufacturers worldwide on the market today. Each brand has a different trade name.
Many Names… But the Core is the Same Substance
Even though there are many brands, these products have the same main active ingredient: Botulinum Toxin Type A, which is a pure protein that works to inhibit the function of the nervous system in the muscle area, causing the muscle to relax.
Examples of Botulinum Toxin Type A Trade Names You Might Have Heard Of:
Highlights: Considered the first Botulinum Toxin Type A product approved by the FDA and is widely known globally. It has a long history of use and extensive research support, earning trust from doctors and consumers for a long time.
Characteristics: Often regarded as the "Gold Standard" among Botulinum Toxin Type A products.
Note: It is generally more expensive than some other brands.
Highlights: Another high-quality and internationally recognized product. Its key feature is a different unit of measurement than Botox® (approximately 1 unit of Botox® equals 2.5-3 units of Dysport®), and it may have slightly wider drug diffusion, which can be beneficial for treating certain areas, such as reducing wrinkles over a larger area.
Characteristics: Provides natural-looking results and may show results faster in some individuals.
Note: The different unit of measurement can be confusing for those who are unfamiliar.
Highlights: What stands out about Xeomin® is that it is considered a "Pure" Botulinum Toxin Type A product, meaning it contains only the active Neurotoxin molecule without Complexing Proteins that may be found in other products. Some believe this may reduce the chance of developing resistance over the long term.
Characteristics: Provides natural-looking results and may have a lower chance of allergic reactions in some individuals.
Note: May be more expensive than some other brands.
Highlights: This product is gaining increasing popularity in many countries, including Thailand. It is of good quality and often more affordable than some other brands, making it an attractive option for those looking to inject Botulinum Toxin Type A.
Characteristics: Provides satisfactory results and is widely used.
Note: May have less supporting data and research compared to Botox® in some aspects.
Aestox® (Huons Bio Pharma, South Korea)
Highlights: Similar to Nabota®, it is a popular and competitively priced product from South Korea. Its quality is well-accepted, and it is widely used in many clinics.
Characteristics: Provides good results and is another interesting option.
Note: Similar to Nabota®, it may have less supporting data and research compared to Botox® in some aspects.
Potential Differences:
Although the main active ingredient is the same, each brand of Botox product may have slight differences in terms of:
Formulation and Ingredients: May contain slightly different excipients or additives.
Concentration: The concentration of the active ingredient may vary between products.
Molecule Size: The size of the molecules may affect the diffusion of the drug after injection.
Manufacturing Process: Production processes and technologies used in manufacturing may differ.
More Important Than Brand Name… Is Quality and Safety:
As a doctor, I believe the most important factor in choosing a Botulinum Toxin Type A product is not just the brand name, but the quality, safety, and reliability of the product. The products we choose must be approved by relevant regulatory bodies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in each country, and must have scientific data and research supporting their efficacy and safety.
The Importance of "Authenticity":
Another crucial aspect is to only use authentic Botox products. Currently, there are many counterfeit or substandard products on the market, which can be harmful to consumers. Therefore, choosing a reputable aesthetic clinic that uses verifiable products is extremely important.
Benefits of Botox… Not Just for a "V-Shape Face"
Beyond its outstanding ability to sculpt a beautiful V-shaped face, Botox has many other benefits in the world of aesthetics and medical treatment that many people may not be aware of. I'd like to show you that Botox is more versatile than we might think.
"Botox" Multitasking: Unexpected Benefits You Might Not Know
A Powerful Helper in Reducing Wrinkles: This is probably the most well-known benefit. Botox is highly effective in reducing wrinkles caused by muscle contractions, also known as dynamic wrinkles, which often appear in areas such as:
Forehead: Horizontal lines caused by raising eyebrows.
Between Eyebrows: Frown lines that make the face look stern.
Crow's Feet: Lines around the outer corners of the eyes that appear with smiling and laughing.
Botox relaxes these muscles, making wrinkles appear softer and skin smoother and more youthful.
Lifting Eyebrows for Brighter Eyes: Injecting Botox in appropriate areas around the eyes can slightly lift the tail of the eyebrows. This makes the eyes appear more open, brighter, and the overall face looks more youthful. This technique is very popular for those who want their eyes to look more attractive.
Correcting a Gummy Smile: For some individuals who show too much gum when they smile, causing a lack of confidence, a small amount of Botox injected above the upper lip can relax the muscles that pull the lip up too high. This results in less gum showing when smiling, creating a more aesthetically pleasing look.
Erasing Bunny Lines: Small wrinkles that appear on the sides of the nose when we smile or scrunch our face can sometimes make the face look older. Injecting Botox in this area can help smooth out these lines.
Achieving a Fuller Upper Lip Without Fillers (Lip Flip): This technique is becoming increasingly popular. By injecting a small amount of Botox along the upper lip border, the upper lip can appear slightly lifted and fuller without the need for fillers. It's suitable for those who want a natural-looking increase in lip volume.
Reducing Pebble Chin: Some people may have small wrinkles on their chin, resembling an orange peel, caused by chin muscle contraction. Botox injections can help smooth out the skin on the chin.
Relaxing Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands): As we age, the neck muscles may start to sag and form visible vertical bands. Injecting Botox in this area can help relax these muscles and make the neck appear smoother.
Sharpening the Jawline: Injecting Botox in the jawline area (specifically the platysma muscle) can help relax the downward-pulling muscles, resulting in a more lifted and defined jawline.
Slimming Legs… for Beautifully Proportioned Calves (Calf Legs Botox) For some individuals who may be concerned about the size of their calves, finding them too large or not slender enough, whether due to genetics or excessive calf muscle exercise, Botox injections can be another option to help reshape the legs for a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Besides aesthetics, "Botox" also has medical benefits:
Treating Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis): Botox can effectively reduce the activity of sweat glands in various areas such as the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet.
Treating Chronic Migraines: Injecting Botox in specific areas of the head and neck can help reduce the frequency and severity of chronic migraine headaches.
Treating Abnormal Muscle Spasms and Dystonia: Botox is used to treat muscle spasms in various conditions such as cervical dystonia or blepharospasm.
Treating Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): As we mentioned, Botox injected into the masseter muscle can help reduce teeth grinding during sleep.
"Botox" is Like Art… Requiring Expertise
As you can see, Botox has many benefits. However, to achieve good and safe results with Botox, it requires the knowledge, understanding, and experience of a specialized doctor. Incorrect injection sites or inappropriate amounts can lead to undesirable side effects.
Safety of Botox
"Botox": Is It Really Safe? Clarifying Safety Concerns
The good news is that Botox is a procedure widely recognized for its high safety profile when injected by an expert physician with a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and using standard, authentic products.
Long History of Use and Global Regulatory Approval:
Botox has been used medically for several decades, starting with the treatment of neurological and muscular disorders before gaining widespread popularity in aesthetics. Botox products used in standard clinics, such as our Aurora Clinic, must be approved by stringent regulatory bodies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Thailand's Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which attests to the product's safety and efficacy.
Specific Mechanism of Action and Limited Effects:
Botox works by inhibiting the release of the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine at the junction between nerves and muscles, causing the treated muscle to relax. The action of Botox is localized only to the injected area and does not spread throughout the body in harmful amounts.
Potential Side Effects (Mostly Mild and Temporary):
Like any medical procedure, Botox can have some side effects, but most are mild and resolve on their own within a short period. Possible side effects include:
Redness or bruising at the injection site: This is common and usually resolves within 1-2 days.
Slight swelling: May occur but will gradually improve within a few hours.
Mild headache: Some individuals may experience a mild headache after injection, which can be relieved with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Temporary eyelid or eyebrow droop: This is a rare side effect and usually results from improper injection placement, emphasizing the importance of choosing an expert physician.
Flu-like symptoms: Very rare and usually resolve on their own.
Severe Side Effects (Very Rare):
Severe side effects from Botox injections are extremely rare if administered by a knowledgeable and skilled physician using standard products.
Importance of Expert Physician and Standardized Clinic:
The key to safety in Botox injections is choosing an experienced physician with a good understanding of facial anatomy, as well as selecting a standardized aesthetic clinic that uses legally compliant products and maintains excellent hygiene and sanitation practices.
"Round Face" Isn't Just One Type: Understanding the True Causes
As I mentioned earlier, a "round face" can have various causes. To choose the appropriate corrective method, we need to understand the true underlying reasons for a "round face" in each individual. Generally, a "round face" often stems from these factors:
Bone Structure: For some individuals, the bone structure of the jaw may be naturally large or shaped in a way that makes the face appear wide. In this case, Botox injections may help reduce the size of the muscles in that area, but they cannot directly alter bone structure.
Accumulated Fat: If there's excessive fat accumulation in the cheeks or under the chin, it can make the face appear round and wide. In such cases, correction may involve considering other procedures like mesofat injections to dissolve fat or liposuction to reduce excess fat.
Large Masseter Muscles: This is our "hero" today! The masseter muscle is a very important muscle for chewing food. It's located on the side of our lower jaw. Try touching your cheek and clenching your teeth tightly; you'll feel a hard muscle – that's the masseter muscle.
When the "Masseter Muscle" Becomes the "Villain" of a "Round Face"
In some individuals, the masseter muscle can be abnormally large and strong, which may be due to:
Genetics: Some people may have genes that predispose them to larger masseter muscles.
Chewing Habits: Regularly chewing hard and chewy foods can stimulate the masseter muscles to work harder and increase in size, similar to how arm muscles grow larger with frequent exercise.
Teeth Grinding or Clenching (Bruxism): This condition causes the masseter muscles to work continuously throughout the night without our knowledge, leading to increased size and strength of the masseter muscles.
When the masseter muscles increase in size, the jawline area of the face appears wider and more square, making the overall face look less slender, or what many refer to as a "round face."
How Does "Botox" Help Achieve a "V-Shape Face"?
And this is where our Botox plays a crucial role! When we inject an appropriate amount of Botox into the masseter muscles, the Botulinum Toxin Type A acts to inhibit the function of the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine, which is responsible for signaling muscle contraction.
Imagine this: the masseter muscles that used to work hard and remain strong all the time, like an athlete constantly training. When we inject Botox, it's like "temporarily suspending" the muscle, so it doesn't have to work as hard. When the muscle isn't heavily used, it will gradually relax and shrink in size, similar to how an arm muscle that isn't exercised will gradually shrink.
When the masseter muscles shrink, the jawline area of the face will appear more slender and narrow, making the overall facial contour more defined and beautiful. This is the primary mechanism by which Botox can help transform a "round face" caused by large masseter muscles into a desired "V-shape face."
Not Just a "V-Shape Face": Side Benefits of "Botox" in the Masseter Muscle
In addition to the "V-shape face" results, injecting Botox into the masseter muscle also offers other interesting side benefits, such as:
Helps Reduce Jaw Pain: For those who experience jaw pain from teeth grinding or clenching, Botox injections can help relax the muscles and alleviate the pain.
Helps Reduce Jaw Tension: People with very tense masseter muscles may feel discomfort in the jaw area. Botox injections will help the muscles relax and feel more comfortable.
Which Type of "Round Face" Does "Botox" Help Best?
In summary, Botox yields the best results for individuals whose "round face" is primarily caused by large masseter muscles. If your "round face" is due to bone structure or accumulated fat, Botox treatment may not be the most suitable option.
Therefore, the most important thing before deciding on Botox injections is to consult with an expert physician. The doctor will thoroughly assess your facial condition, inquire about your medical history, and listen to your desires to advise whether Botox is a suitable option for you and which areas should be injected, and in what quantity, to achieve the best and safest results. At our Aurora Clinic, all our doctors are ready to provide comprehensive information and answer all your questions truthfully. Whether you are in Surat Thani or Koh Samui, you can come and talk to us. We are happy to help you understand the cause of your "round face" and recommend the most appropriate solution for you.
How Long… Is It "Worth It"? Factors Determining Botox Efficacy and Duration
Botox injections are like skincare and facial contouring that require attention to many details. The results obtained and how long Botox will last do not depend solely on the medication itself, but also on other contributing factors.
Botox injections are like skincare and facial contouring that require attention to many details. The results obtained and how long Botox will last do not depend solely on the medication itself, but also on other contributing factors.
Dosage and Doctor's Injection Technique: This is arguably the most crucial factor. The amount of Botox injected must be appropriate for the muscle size and the individual's needs. If too little is injected, the results may not be apparent or may not last long. Conversely, if too much is injected, undesirable side effects may occur.
In addition to the dosage, the doctor's injection technique is equally important. An expert physician will have a good understanding of facial anatomy, knowing where to inject, how deep, and in what direction to ensure the medication works effectively and precisely. At Aurora Clinic, all our doctors are experienced and well-trained in Botox injection techniques.
Individual Metabolism: Each person's body metabolizes substances, including Botox, at different rates. Some individuals may have a faster metabolism, causing Botox to break down more quickly, while others may see longer-lasting results. This is a factor we cannot directly control, similar to how some people feel energized for longer after drinking coffee, while others still feel sleepy.
Muscle Strength and Size: For Botox injections to achieve a V-shaped face, if you have very large and strong masseter muscles, you may require a larger amount of Botox than someone with smaller masseter muscles. You might also notice that the initial results may not last as long, as strong muscles can recover faster.
Frequency of Injections: Initially, when you first start Botox injections for facial contouring, you might notice that the results last for about 4-6 months. However, with continuous injections, the masseter muscles will gradually weaken, causing the results to last longer in subsequent sessions. This is similar to how consistent muscle training strengthens muscles, but if you stop training, the muscles will gradually shrink and weaken.
Lifestyle Habits: Although there is no conclusive research, it has been observed that certain lifestyle habits may affect the duration of Botox, such as:
Strenuous Exercise: Intense exercise can increase metabolism, which may cause Botox to break down slightly faster.
Frequent Chewing of Hard and Chewy Foods: Chewing these foods will cause the masseter muscles to work hard, which may stimulate the muscles to regain strength more quickly.
Teeth Grinding or Clenching: These habits cause the masseter muscles to work constantly, even while we sleep, which may lead to Botox wearing off faster.
Skincare: Although not directly affecting Botox, maintaining overall healthy skin will enhance the appearance and longevity of Botox injection results.
Quality and Type of Botox Product: Choosing a high-quality, standardized, and 100% authentic Botox product is extremely important for treatment efficacy and safety. At Aurora Clinic, we only use Botox from leading companies recognized internationally.
Body's Response to Botox: Each person's body may respond differently to Botox. Some may see clear and long-lasting results, while others may have a different response.
Understanding… for Appropriate Care
Understanding these factors will help you set appropriate expectations for Botox injections and enable you to take proper care of yourself after the injection to ensure the results last as long as possible.
Who Can Benefit from "Botox" to Boost Confidence and Solve Problems?
Individuals Who Want to Reshape Their Face to Be More Slender (Focusing on a "Round Face" Caused by Masseter Muscles):
Self-observation:
If you feel that your jawline appears wide and square, especially when you clench your teeth and feel a hard muscle bulging on the side of your cheek, that might be a sign of large masseter muscles.
Non-surgical option: For those who want a more slender face but don't want surgery, Botox injections are a very attractive option because it's a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime, visible results, and low risk when performed by an expert doctor.
Those who have tried other methods without success: Some people may have tried facial exercises or other methods to reshape their face but haven't seen results. Botox injections might be a more suitable solution.
Individuals Who Want to Reduce Expression Lines:
Wrinkles from smiling, laughing, or frowning: These wrinkles often become more pronounced when we make various facial expressions, such as horizontal forehead lines, crow's feet around the eyes, or frown lines between the eyebrows. Botox can help relax the muscles that cause these wrinkles, making the skin appear smoother and more youthful.
Desire for quick and visible results: Botox injections typically provide relatively quick results, with changes beginning to be noticeable within 1-2 weeks and full results appearing within 4-6 weeks. This makes it an attractive option for those who want to see results quickly.
Individuals with Other Conditions That Can Be Treated with Botox:
Excessive Gummy Smile: Some people may feel self-conscious when they smile because too much gum shows. A small amount of Botox injected into the upper lip area can help reduce the upward pull of the lip when smiling.
Slight Eyebrow Lift: Botox injected in certain areas can help slightly lift the outer part of the eyebrows, making the eyes appear brighter and the overall face look more youthful.
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis): Botox can help reduce the activity of sweat glands, particularly in the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet. It is suitable for individuals who experience excessive sweating that interferes with their daily life.
Headaches from Muscle Tension: In some cases, doctors may consider using Botox to treat headaches caused by muscle tension in the head and neck.
Who is Not Suitable for Botox Injections?
Even though Botox has many benefits, there are certain groups for whom it is not recommended:
Pregnant or breastfeeding women: As there is no clear safety data regarding the effects of Botox on fetuses or breastfed infants, it should be avoided during this period.
Individuals with certain pre-existing medical conditions: Those with neurological and muscular disorders, such as Myasthenia Gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, should avoid Botox injections as it may worsen their condition.
Individuals with a history of allergy to Botulinum Toxin or other components in the product: If you have had an allergic reaction to Botox in the past, you should not have it again.
Individuals with an infection in the area to be injected: The infection should be fully resolved before Botox injection to prevent the spread of pathogens.
Individuals with unrealistic expectations: Botox can improve appearance, but it has limitations. Those with excessive expectations may not be satisfied with the treatment.
Advice from "Dr. Toeng" Before Deciding on Botox Injections
The most important thing before you decide to get Botox injections is to consult with an expert physician. The doctor will thoroughly assess your skin and muscle condition, inquire about your medical history, and listen to your needs to advise whether Botox is a suitable option for you and which areas should be injected, and in what quantity, to achieve the best and safest results.
At Aurora Clinic, both in Surat Thani and Koh Samui, we emphasize physician consultation before every treatment. My team of doctors and I are ready to provide complete information and answer all your questions so you can feel confident and make the right decision. Don't hesitate to come and talk to us; we are happy to take care of you and provide the best advice.
Does Life Really Change from a "Round Face" to a "V-Shape Face"?
I have witnessed the remarkable transformations of countless patients who were once concerned about their wide, less slender facial shape, which may have affected their confidence. Botox injections to reduce the size of the masseter muscle have been like "magic," helping to magically reshape their faces to appear more slender, proportionate, and undeniably boost their confidence.
Imagine this: some patients who used to avoid taking direct-facing photos because they were self-conscious about their wide jawline. After trying Botox to reshape their face, they now smile fully, confidently take photos from all angles, and are visibly happier with their self-images.
Or some individuals who might have felt their face looked too round, making them appear older than their age. After having their face contoured with Botox, their face appears more slender, younger, and they feel more confident in social settings.
Not Just About External Appearance, But About Inner Feelings:
What I observe from the transformation of these patients is not just about an improved external appearance, but more importantly, an increase in self-confidence. When they are happy with their own appearance, it empowers them to do more things, be more social, express themselves more, and truly enjoy life more.
Natural and Gradual Results:
One thing I want to emphasize is that Botox injections for facial slimming provide natural and gradual results. It's not an instant transformation where your face becomes slender overnight. Instead, the masseter muscles will gradually reduce in size over 4-6 weeks after the injection, making the change appear natural and not overly tight.
A Patient's Story (Name withheld with permission):
I remember one patient who came to me very concerned about her "round face." She told me her friends often teased her, saying her face was "round like the moon," which made her very self-conscious when taking photos or socializing. After I assessed her face, I found that the main cause was her relatively large masseter muscles. So, I recommended Botox injections for facial contouring.
About a month later, she returned to me with a much brighter smile. She said her friends noticed her face looked more slender, and most importantly, she felt much more confident, dared to take photos from various angles, and enjoyed doing her makeup and hair more. This is just one of many examples I've seen of the transformative power of Botox in changing a "round face" to a "V-shape face."
However… Results Vary Per Individual:
Even though Botox can indeed help transform a "round face" into a "V-shape face," the results may vary from person to person, depending on the factors I mentioned earlier, such as the size of the masseter muscles, metabolism, and the body's response to Botox.
If you are concerned about a "round face" and want to know if Botox can help you…
I recommend you come in for a consultation with me or our expert medical team at Aurora Clinic, available in both Surat Thani and Koh Samui. We will thoroughly assess your facial condition, listen to your needs, and provide the most suitable advice for you.
Don't let the lack of confidence regarding a "round face" diminish your happiness and good opportunities in life. Come and consult with us at Aurora Clinic, and you might find that your life can truly change for the better through facial contouring with Botox!

FAQ
To help everyone understand Botox even better, I've compiled frequently asked questions about Botox and its ability to transform a "round face" into a "V-shape face" to answer all your queries.
Q&A with Dr. Toeng: Clarifying All Your Questions About "Botox" and "V-Shape Face"
Dr. Toeng: Generally, after Botox injection, you will start to see changes within 1-2 weeks, and the full effect will be visible in about 4-6 weeks. The masseter muscles will gradually shrink, making the face appear naturally more slender.
Q: Will I see results immediately after Botox injection?
Dr. Toeng: Generally, after Botox injection, you will start to see changes within 1-2 weeks, and the full effect will be visible in about 4-6 weeks. The masseter muscles will gradually shrink, making the face appear naturally more slender.
Q: Does Botox injection hurt?
Dr. Toeng: The pain sensation from Botox injection is very minimal. Most people only feel a slight sting, like an ant bite. Before the injection, we apply a cold compress to help reduce discomfort.
Q: Will Botox make my face look stiff, tight, or unnatural?
Dr. Toeng: Botox injections for facial slimming prioritize natural results. We inject the appropriate amount at precise points to relax and reduce the masseter muscles while still allowing you to express emotions and chew food normally. Most importantly, choosing an experienced doctor who understands facial anatomy well will help ensure beautiful and natural results.
Q: How long does Botox last? How often do I need re-injections?
Dr. Toeng: On average, the effects of Botox last about 4-6 months. However, the duration may vary for each individual, depending on factors such as the amount of Botox injected, aftercare, and the body's response. When the Botox begins to wear off, the masseter muscles will gradually return to normal function. If you wish to maintain the results, you can return for re-injections. Generally, we recommend re-injecting when you feel the masseter muscles starting to enlarge again.
Q: Who should not get Botox injections?
Dr. Toeng: Although Botox is very safe, there are some cases where it is not recommended, such as pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain neurological and muscular disorders, or those with a history of allergy to Botulinum Toxin.
