When most people think of Botox, they picture smoother foreheads and softened crow’s feet. But Botox has evolved far beyond the upper face.
Lower face Botox is becoming increasingly popular for its ability to refine facial balance, improve muscle function and create natural-looking rejuvenation, all without surgery.
Rather than changing how you look, lower face Botox focuses on relaxing overactive muscles, allowing the face to appear softer, more balanced and more youthful.
Lower face Botox involves carefully placed injections into specific muscles of the jaw, chin, mouth and neck. The goal is not to freeze expression, but to rebalance muscle activity.
By reducing downward pull and tension, Botox allows opposing muscles to work more effectively, creating subtle lifting, smoothing and improved facial harmony.
One of the most popular lower face treatments targets the masseter muscles, which can become enlarged due to clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism).
Benefits include:
A slimmer, more contoured jawline
A softer facial shape, particularly for square or wide jaws
Improved facial symmetry
Functional benefits:
Reduced jaw tension and tightness
Fewer headaches related to clenching
Reduced damage to teeth from grinding
This treatment is ideal for patients seeking facial slimming without fillers or surgery.
Jowls develop as strong downward-pulling muscles dominate over time, combined with collagen loss and skin laxity.
Strategic Botox placement can help rebalance these forces, improving the appearance of heaviness in the lower face.
The result:
A softer, gently lifted jawline
Reduced heaviness in the lower face
Improved facial balance without adding volume
Chin dimpling or puckering, even when the face is at rest, can create a tense or uneven appearance.
Botox in this area can:
Smooth the chin’s texture
Reduce puckering and dimpling
Create a more polished, youthful look
Fine lines around the mouth form due to repetitive muscle movement, smoking or natural ageing.
Lower face Botox can:
Smooth existing fine lines
Reduce puckering around the lips
Help prevent lines from deepening over time

Create a more relaxed, approachable expression
Balance strong downward muscle pull

Softening vertical neck bands
Improved jawline definition
A smoother, more youthful neck appearance
Minimal downtime
Prevention of worsening neck ageing
One of the biggest advantages of lower face Botox is its subtle, natural effect.
