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 Masseter Physical exam and/or photos would be helpful, but Botox can be used to effectively reduce the size of the Masseter muscle, and slim the appearance of the face, especially in people with large Masseter muscles, frequent in the Asian population. Several treatments are required and best to start off conservatively. Seek out an expert injector, like a board certified plastic surgeon, with intimate understanding and knowledge of the anatomy of the Masseter muscle. Good luck!
