Will Botox Injections Reduce The Width Of My Head?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Regarding head width reduction, would Botox be capable of achieving the specific results I’m looking for?

A:I would try Botox first and see what happens as you have nothing to lose by doing so. While it is not a permanent solution in most patients you will find out if muscle reduction alone would be effective. Undertaking Botox to determine its effects is, of course, predicated on that the right muscle area is injected with the right dose. There are many patients I see that have ineffective Botox injections to the temporal muscles because they have an inexperienced injector. I make this statement not because I am interested in doing it, as I am not, but because in all drugs delivery and dosing  is the key to optimizing their benefits.
