Do I Need Botox Injections or Muscle Removal For Reducing The Convexity On The Side Of My Head?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’d like to flatten the temporal convexity and width of the side of my head. I don’t know if Botox would be enough or if the muscle would need to be removed too?

A:It would be fair to say that muscle removal is twice as effective as Botox at reducing the muscle mass on the side of the head. The more pertinent question is whether your temporal muscle is thick enough as a thin Caucasian female that any effort at muscle reduction would make much difference.
