Jawline Slimming or Masseter Botox is a non-surgical facial contouring treatment that uses Botox injections to reduce the size and activity of the masseter muscles located at the sides of the jaw. Enlarged masseter muscles can create a wider, square-shaped jawline and may also contribute to teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw tension.
By relaxing these muscles, Masseter Botox gradually creates a slimmer, softer, and more V-shaped facial appearance while also relieving jaw discomfort in suitable patients.
You may be a suitable candidate if you experience:
Reduces the prominence of enlarged jaw muscles for a softer facial shape.
Improves overall facial balance and definition.
Achieves noticeable contouring without surgery or scars.
Can decrease excessive jaw muscle activity associated with bruxism.
May help reduce jaw discomfort and muscle fatigue.
Patients can usually return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
A detailed evaluation of facial structure, jaw muscles, and aesthetic goals is performed.
The treatment plan is customized according to facial anatomy and desired outcomes.
Botox is carefully injected into the masseter muscles on both sides of the jaw.
Patients are reviewed to assess muscle response and treatment results.
