IMPROVING THE FACIAL PROFILE USING BOTOX (BOTULINUM TOXIN) INJECTIONS
In order to maintain the balance of facial proportions during aesthetic medicine procedures, it is important to study the face as a whole through profiloplasty. In this way, the forehead, nose, lips and chin can be treated individually, in a way that respects the harmony of the face.
Minors defects of the nasal tip and chin can be corrected by Botox injections. This treatment is particularly recommended in cases where the nasal tip “droops” towards the ground when the subject smiles or speaks. It is also effective when treating the “orange peel” effect on the chin.
Injected botulinum toxin will neutralise the muscles responsible. The nose seems more projected and the chin appears smoother.
INDICATIONS FOR BOTULINUM TOXIN (BOTOX) INJECTIONS TO TREAT THE NASAL TIP AND CHIN
Rhinoplasty by Botox injection can quickly and effectively correct the nasal tip.
Among certain people, the nasal tip can tend to droop or point towards the ground when they speak or smile. This is due to a muscle which contracts and pulls the nasal tip downwards. The paralysing properties of botulinum toxin will limit this muscle in order to prevent or change the unwanted movement.
Treatment of the chin makes it possible to effectively correct the labiomental fold.
HOW DOES THE BOTOX INJECTION SESSION FOR THE NASAL TIP AND CHIN TAKE PLACE?
Treatment of the nasal tip and chin with botulinum toxin injection takes place in the surgery, over the course of a consultation. The practitioner will assess the area to be treated as well as the entire underlying nasal structure. The practitioner will also analyse the dynamics of the facial expression.
The doctor will proceed to inject Botox into the muscle responsible for lowering the nasal tip. Relaxing this muscle will reduce unwanted movements.
To treat the chin, the doctor will administer the botulinum toxin injections at the level of the mentalis. Relaxing this muscle makes the skin of the chin smoother.
The micro-needles used for injection are practically pain-free. The patient can resume their socio-professional life immediately after treatment.
