Do I look like I would benefit from Jaw Botox? (Photo)

Hi! Botox would be a great option for you. Botox into the masseter muscle helps to alleviate teeth-grinding (bruxism) and can help to slim the face. It usually needs to be repeated every 3-4 months depending on how aggressive of a "grinder" you are. The units vary from roughly 10-20 U per side. You may want to consider a consult with a facial plastic surgeon to see if this is a good option for you. Hope this helps!

Hi, I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Masseter Botox offers both functional and aesthetic benefits. Functionally, it can help relieve jaw clenching and teeth grinding by relaxing the masseter muscle. This reduces tension, minimizes headaches, and helps prevent wear on your teeth. Aesthetically, Masseter Botox can also create a slimmer, more contoured appearance to the lower face. This effect typically becomes noticeable after 2–3 treatments, as the muscle gradually shrinks from reduced activity—especially when fullness is due to muscle bulk rather than bone structure. Every face is unique, so it’s important to consult with an experienced provider who can assess your needs and goals. Together, we can create a personalized treatment plan that works best for you.

Yes - based on your history as a clencher and grinder - Botox could definitely help with both your symptoms as well as the appearance. Please watch the video for detailed information:
