Achieving that V-Shape face! (Non-sponsored post)

I've always had a football face all my life. Generally, I don't think I look like a swan but definitely I have no wish to remain an ugly duck either. No more duckling cuz I'm no longer that young. So, with what remains of my youth (if any...), I've decided to make the best out of it! The first step I did, was getting that much coveted V-shaped face! I've done some research on it. Although shaving my mandible jaw was much tempting and a permanent solution, I was darn afraid of surgery and thoughts of it going awry made me choose a safer, temporary option, BOTOX! Yes, perhaps you may think botox is all about getting rid of wrinkles and fine lines. But nooooo, botox can actually relax your jowl muscles and let you have a slimmer face. This is a picture of me taken before botox and 2 months after.

How do you know if you have BIG jowls (think Jaws! the shark)?
Simply, do a small test yourself. Stand in front of the mirror, bite and you will see the muscles in your lower jaw twitching. That's the muscles making your face look bulky.

Why do some people have bigger jaws? Well, I'm quite a carnivorous person. So perhaps you like your meat and hard food a little too much. All the chewing develops super muscular face. No, talking too much does not contribute to that. :P

Does botox hurt? To say it's completely painless, I'd be lying. It felt like an ant bite, maybe lesser. I am lucky to have an excellent doctor who ensured my comfort whom I will recommend to you in just a little.

How long does it last? Usually, it last about a year. But if done for two to three years, the effects could be permanent. Perhaps you need a jab occasionally at most.

Is it expensive? Compared to other beauty treatments that claims to give you results, this is one where you actually SEE results. It cost $1400 for a one year package (3 jabs). This package that I bought, is supposed to be a permanent effect in the long term (meaning over two of three years, 3 jabs a year).

How long was it before it took effect? I had my first jab in mid-december 2015. The first jab only slimmed my face a little because my jaw muscles are super 'powderful' and stubborn. Only after the 2nd jab at the end of Jan 2016 could I see more of the effects. At the moment, it is still slimming my face. Other effects I experienced My jaw muscles feel really weak now. I find chewing meat a chore. I've almost given up on my favorite steak. My diet now consists mainly of fish, vegetables and softer food. Unknowingly, I dropped a couple of kilos. YAY! Due to my hum-chim-pang / football face, after my face slimmed down, the skin around my lower jaws sagged a little. -sad- I'm planning for another thread lift later after the botox has worked to its full capacity and my face can no longer go any smaller. The loose skin isn't that noticeable because none of my colleagues have mentioned anything. Except that I looked like I lost weight (honestly, 2kilos cannot really tell la okay...only cuz my face smaller now). The change takes place slowly so people around you will not know you did anything :D
