The masseters are the chewing muscles of the face. In some patients, these can become large, overdeveloped, and begin to bulge; creating a squared, more masculine shaped face. Those patients looking to achieve a more oval and heart-shaped, feminine jawline may need Botox injected into the masseters.

In the past, the only solution was surgical shaving of the muscles, but with Botox, we now have a convenient, safe, low-risk Non-Surgical Solution.

A delicate jawline can be achieved with simple and relatively painless masseter Botox injections done in office by an expert injector.

Botox into the Masseter muscles can also help with TMJ Disorders: Jaw Pain, Tension, Clenching, and Bruxism (teeth grinding), helping to reduce the pain and slim the jawline at the same time.

Many people experience relief from symptoms in a few days, but it can take up to a month to see the effects of Masseter injections.

Botox has been used to treat headaches, excessive sweating, muscular spasms, and fine lines and wrinkles of the face. Inadequate doses Botox helps to “relax” muscles, reducing the strength and contractility. When applied to the right area of the body, Botox is able to relax muscles that are creating unwanted cosmetic change. Botox relaxes and weakens these unwanted effects of the muscle, resulting in a more cosmetically pleasing result. When injected into the Masseter muscles the result is a smaller jawline and narrower face. Masseter Botox is more involved than regular Botox injections, so multiple sessions may be booked with several injections to get the optimal result. 

Healthy adults with large, oversized masseter muscles are great candidates for this procedure. It is an extremely popular procedure especially in Asian countries where a broad jawline is particularly an issue. Patients that chew often, due to gum use may often result in oversized masseter muscle. Patients with ongoing dental issues and facial infections are pregnant or breastfeeding should wait before receiving treatment. 

If you suffer from over sized masseter muscles and are looking for a slimmer facial profile and jawline, then book a consultation today.

Cost is dependent on individual patient factors, goals, needs, and wants. The masseter is a large muscle and requires on average 60-100 units of Botox. Every patient is unique, so the amount of units varies widely. We will advise you at your consultation on what will work for you. We price Botox by the unit. Please check our Promotions page for current pricing.

If seeking this treatment you should always plan for more units than initially treated with. Our goal is natural results, and we always start patients on a lower dose protocol, to begin with.

Masseter Botox often involves several sessions spaced out 3-4 weeks apart, with small doses to start with.
