Asian beauty standards are defined by various aesthetic traits – having a slim and narrow face is one of them.

There are countless tutorials on the internet about how you can use tape and contour kits to get the illusion of a slimmer face. Some might also suggest face rollers and massages to help boost blood circulation to get tighter and firmer skin while others embark on an intense fitness regime and try new diets to slim down from head-to-toe.

But what if we told you that you could get a slim face without having to incorporate additional steps into your daily makeup routine or change your lifestyle?

The solution is simple: you could use Botox jaw reduction to achieve a slim face!

Not only does Botox work on your wrinkles and age-lines but it can also adjust your facial curves in a way that gives you a slim face and sharp chin when it is injected in the jaw.

Read on to learn how Botox is administered in Singapore.

Sharp Chin and Slim Cheeks

Before delving into the Botox procedure, let’s take a look at the slim face trend in Asia.

For years, Asian beauty has been characterized by pointed chins, slim cheeks and narrow face shapes.

With Asian stars like Jennie Kim from K-Pop girl group BLACKPINK and Wu Jinyan from Chinese drama series Story of Yanxi Palace leading beauty trends, many go as far as plastic surgery to pursue these beauty traits.

However, Botox has set itself apart from other procedures and treatments as a non-invasive alternative. It is gaining increasing popularity for its ability to prevent wrinkles and other signs of ageing. More importantly, Botox is also well-known for its face slimming capabilities.

How Botox Can Be Used to Achieve a Slim Face

Let’s have a look at how Botox is used for jaw reduction in Singapore and how it can be used to achieve a slim face.

In a nutshell, jaw Botox works as a muscle relaxant.

It reduces the nerve activity in the jaw muscles to bring about a relaxation effect which will eventually cause the muscles to shrink to unveil a sharp chin and defined jawline.

With Botox treatment, alone, the jaw can shrink up to 60% of the original size and take a slim shape.

Procedure of Botox

How is jaw Botox administered in Singapore?

The doctor will start by diluting Botox powder in a saline solution. Next, the Botox will be injected into the main bulk of the jaw muscle.The expected time for any effect to take place will be approximately 1 week. The actual process will take no longer than 15 minutes and most patients are able to resume their daily activities upon completion of the treatment.

Over time, you should notice some changes in your face shape. In order for you to maintain your slender face shape, you would need to undergo Botox treatment on a regular basis, ideally every 4-6 months.

Should You Undergo Botox Jaw Reduction?

If you are hesitant to go under the knife, you could consider Botox instead!

Compared to liposuction surgery or buccal fat removal, Botox jaw reduction is completely non-invasive. The only disadvantage of jaw botox, however, is that it is semi-permanent – the effects last around 4-6 months.

Jaw Botox Price in Singapore

Prices for jaw Botox in Singapore range from $500 to $1200 per session.

Wondering why there is such a price difference?

We checked with various clinics that provide Botox in Singapore and these are the reasons why the prices differ.

  1. Brand of Botox used. The other 2 brands are Dysport and Xeomin.
  2. Total dosage of Botox (number of Units of Botox used)
  3. Any top-up treatment if results are not up to expectation
  4. Doctor’s Experience and Skill
  5. Location of Clinic

If Botox doesn’t seem like something that suits you, chin fillers are also a good option to achieve a slim face. These 2 treatments are usually used simultaneously to achieve the desired effect.
