Masseter Botox is an effective aesthetic procedure used to soften the angular and rigid contours of the lower face, resulting in a slimmer and more oval appearance. The masseter is a large muscle located in the face, and when it becomes enlarged, it can create a square and prominent facial structure. This often leads to an undesired masculine appearance, particularly in women.
Masseter Botox allows for the softening of facial contours without the need for invasive surgical procedures like jaw surgery. Botox eliminates the risks of swelling, scarring, pain, and infection associated with surgery. This method makes it possible to achieve a more oval and softer facial appearance. Those with square or round face shapes can obtain a more aesthetic jawline with Masseter Botox. Additionally, for individuals with a small and less defined chin, enhancing the masseter muscle can help create a more prominent jawline.
The Masseter Botox procedure is a quick process, typically taking around an hour, with no pain or bruising involved. The effects of Botox start to become noticeable within the first week, with the new jawline becoming fully defined by the sixth week. Often, a second session is recommended 2 to 4 months after the first to ensure long-lasting aesthetic results.
Habits like excessive chewing gum, teeth grinding, or consuming hard foods can lead to the enlargement of the masseter muscle. This muscle can be reduced using Botox, without the need for surgery, resulting in a softer facial appearance.
