Masseter Muscle: Botox vs weight loss, which option would be the best way to slim them down?

August 1, 2019
Asked By:kfa06 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Hello, I'd like to slim out my masseter muscle. I know that Botox can help with this. I was wondering, however, if weight loss would also reduce the masseter muscle? I am on a "diet" and starting to lose weight, and I'd like to know if this muscle would slim out as well, or if Botox would be necessary. Thanks!

Answer: Only Botox can reduce the masseter muscle size in the cheek or wearing a night guard, not weight loss as there is no fat to lose
