Understanding Botox Jaw Slimming

Botox is commonly used to alleviate fine lines and wrinkles. Made from botulinum toxin, Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles to eliminate contractions and movement. However, that is not all Botox can be used for. Botox is also an excellent way to reduce the masseter muscle in the back of the jaw to achieve non-invasive jaw slimming.

Exploring the Masseter Muscles 

Masseter muscles are found on both sides of the back part of the jaw. Not only are these muscles used to chew, but they also put in a lot of work for those who clench their jaws due to stress or during sleep. As a result, overusing the masseter muscles can give the face a wider, squared shape.  

Jaw Reduction Botox

Similar to injecting Botox into the muscles responsible for fine lines and wrinkles, Botox can be used to target the masseter muscles. Botox relaxes and decreases the size of the masseter muscles to slim the jaw for a more contour appearance. This procedure can also eliminate tension, which may otherwise cause headaches and damage to the teeth.

Getting Started With Jaw Slimming

Jaw slimming Botox is a highly personalized procedure. On average, 25 units of Botox are required to achieve noticeable results. However, this number varies depending on the patient’s masseter muscles. To ensure precision and accuracy, our jaw slimming procedure begins with an in-depth consultation to assess your unique facial anatomy and better understand your goals.

Jaw Botox Face Slimming Procedure

Based on a thorough consultation, our experts will determine the most suitable amount of Botox for your jaw-slimming procedure. We then carefully assess your face to identify the most strategic injection placement areas by feeling around to isolate the muscles. We complete the treatment by injecting the Botox into both sides of the jaw.

Gradual, Yet Impactful Results 

Botox results are not immediate. Botox jaw slimming provides gradual results that begin three to seven days post-treatment and continue improving over several weeks. This subtle yet transformative procedure takes time but is sure to yield a reduction in jaw width to unveil a more balanced profile.

Jaw Slimming Botox Aftercare

Jaw-slimming Botox does not call for the strenuous aftercare of jaw-slimming surgery. However, we do recommend refraining from several activities for at least 24 hours while the Botox begins working, including:

  • Rubbing or touching the injection sites
  • Leaning forward or lying completely flat
  • Alcohol
  • Pain killers
  • Exercise

Jaw Slimming Botox Recovery Time

Jaw-slimming Botox involves virtually zero recovery time and minimal discomfort. This procedure takes less than 30 minutes and allows you to return to your routine immediately after your appointment. This low-risk procedure includes minimal side effects, with most patients experiencing nothing more than minor tenderness or bruising.

Jaw Slimming Botox Side Effects

At Radiance Medical Aesthetics, we prioritize transparency when it comes to side effects. Although Botox side effects are uncommon, they may include headaches, temporary weakness or stiffness, redness, or dry mouth. Severe side effects are even more rare but include swelling, severe pain, fever, and allergic reactions that call for immediate medical attention.

How Long Does Botox Jaw Slimming Last?

Botox jaw slimming begins displaying results a couple of days after treatment and continues improving in the following weeks. These results will last for up to six months. However, we recommend scheduling top-up injections every three to four months to uphold your contoured jawline and slim facial profile.
