Botox Injections for Jawline Slimming?

It is becoming more common to inject the masseter muscle to decrease  its thickness and make your face more narrow. It will take several injections over a year to start to see the effect.

This is a very interesting question! Botox is great for jawline slimming. A pleasant effect of Botox treatment of the masseter is that you occasionally develop more fullness in the temporalis muscle (the other jaw closing muscle in the temple). This can result in more full temples which is a youthful feature. Thus, you sometimes benefit in two ways with Botox jawline slimming - this slims the jawline and creates a more youthful upper face. I would not recommend direct treatment of any muscles along the hairline. The volume in that area is a sign of young age. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS
