What Is Botox for Masseters?
Botox, a purified neurotoxin, is commonly used to relax overactive muscles. In the case of masseter reduction, Botox is injected into the masseter muscles (located on the sides of your jaw) to temporarily weaken and reduce their size. This procedure results in a slimmer, more defined jawline without invasive surgery.
Why Get Botox for Masseter Reduction?
1. Aesthetic Benefits
If you have a square or overly prominent jaw due to large masseter muscles, Botox can give you a more balanced and refined facial shape. As the masseter muscle shrinks, your face naturally tapers into a more feminine, heart-shaped appearance, which many clients desire for a softer, more youthful look.
2. Relief from Bruxism and TMJ
In addition to aesthetic benefits, Botox can also help with medical conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ disorders. By relaxing the masseter muscles, Botox reduces jaw tension and relieves pain associated with excessive clenching or grinding.
How Does Botox for Masseters Work?
The masseter muscles, used for chewing, can become overdeveloped in some individuals. Botox works by temporarily inhibiting nerve signals that cause these muscles to contract. Over time, the masseter muscles shrink, giving you a slimmer facial appearance while reducing tension in the jaw.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Botox injections for masseter reduction are quick and painless, typically taking about 20-30 minutes. Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation: Dr. Schwarzburg will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your goals for masseter reduction.
- Preparation: The area is cleaned and marked for precise injections.
- Injection: Using ultra-fine needles, Botox is injected into several points in each masseter muscle to ensure even results.
- Post-Procedure: There’s no downtime, and you can return to your normal activities immediately.
When Will You See Results?
Results from Botox masseter reduction are gradual. You may start to notice a slimmer jawline within 4-6 weeks, with full results visible in 3 months. These results typically last for 4-6 months, after which follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain the effect.
Are You a Candidate for Botox Masseter Reduction?
If you have a square jawline due to enlarged masseter muscles or suffer from jaw pain due to bruxism, you’re likely a great candidate for Botox masseter reduction. Ideal candidates are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results.
Contraindications Include:
- Muscle disorders (like Myasthenia Gravis)
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active infections at the injection site
