Hi, I heard from a friend that some people are getting large dose masseter Botox injections over a period of time to induce some masseter atrophy leading to slimming appearance of lower face. Any experience with this? How long to get results and with how much Botox? Does this cause a hollowing or sunken cheek look? Also any issues with facial nerve injury?
Answer: Botox To Narrow Jawline Hello, Thank you for your question. Should you be a candidate for this treatment, your jawline can be gently reshaped to make it less angular and prominent, narrowing the contour of your lower face to create a more feminine appearance. The Botox, injected in both sides of the jaw, will selectively relax the masseter in the days following your injection, gradually making it less prominent and square. The width of your jawline may slowly narrow, transforming your facial shape into more of an oval or heart. Optimal results may take up to four to six weeks to appear, but can last for up to a year depending on lifestyle habits. To maintain results, you’ll need touch-up injections most likely scheduled twice a year. I recommended that you book a consultation with a qualified injector to discuss your options. For hallowed cheeks, this typically involves the surgical procedure of buccal fat removal. All the best.

Answer: Injection of masseter muscles for facial slimming Botox is a great option to slim the face if the masseter muscles are large and causing bulging. Botox injection of the masseter muscles can also help decrease grinding of the teeth at night and even symptoms of TMJ in some patients.

Answer: Yes Yes, Botox can help with slimming down a large jaw, but it's going to take multiple sessions and unlike Botox on say, the forehead, the results will be more gradual. I would suggest that you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist in your area (link below) to discuss your options. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Botox for Large Masseters I do this often for patients with bulky masseters looking to slim the lower face or for patients who often clench or grind their teeth. It is very well tolerated and is usually just a few injections per side. The average amount used is 15-20 units per side but can vary depending on the degree of hypertrophy. It typically takes more than 1 treatment for the slimming effect to be appreciated. This does not cause any hollowing of the cheeks in my experience nor does it pose any risk to the facial nerve if done by an experienced injector.
