How Jaw Slimming Works
Hypertrophied masseter muscles create a square lower face. Botox or Dysport injected into the muscle reduces bulk over weeks, tapering the jaw toward a V-line contour. Chewing function remains normal at appropriate doses.
Results are not instant — peak slimming often appears at six to eight weeks. Duration is typically four to six months; repeat treatments may require fewer units.
Assessment First
We evaluate bite force, dental history, bruxism, and whether square jaw is muscular or skeletal. Botox helps muscular contribution; skeletal width may need different conversation.
Asian beauty patients frequently request V-line treatment alongside chin filler or glass skin facials. Our Asian Treatments package coordinates combination plans.
Side Effects
Temporary chewing fatigue, headache, or asymmetric smile if diffusion affects nearby muscles — rare with precise technique. Choose injectors who understand masseter depth and dosing units.
Schedule follow-up at two weeks if asymmetry appears; touch-ups are sometimes included in your treatment plan.
