Last medically reviewed: August 2025 — Dmitriy Schwarzburg, MD
DR. SCHWARZBURG HAS BEEN FEATURED IN
Located in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Skinly Aesthetics is a leading provider of Masseter Botox in NYC, trusted for both facial slimming and relief from TMJ symptoms. Board-certified physician Dr. Schwarzburg has performed thousands of successful Botox treatments and is a recognized educator in the field, known for his patented injection techniques and natural, long-lasting results. Whether your goal is a slimmer, V-shaped jawline or relief from clenching and teeth grinding, Skinly Aesthetics delivers expert results in a safe, comfortable setting.
What Is Masseter Botox?
Masseter Botox is an injectable treatment that relaxes the masseter muscles—large chewing muscles located at the jawline. Overdeveloped masseters can create a square, widened jaw and contribute to teeth grinding (bruxism) and TMJ pain. By precisely injecting Botox into these muscles, we can:
- Slim the jawline for a more feminine, contoured, V-shape
- Relieve TMJ pain and tension caused by clenching and grinding
- Prevent teeth wear and jaw discomfort
- Balance facial proportions without surgery
Botox works by blocking nerve signals that tell the masseter muscles to contract. With reduced activity, the muscle gradually softens in size, slimming the face and relieving stress on the jaw.
Who Is a Candidate for Masseter Botox?
You may benefit from jawline Botox in NYC if you experience:
- A wide, square jawline you’d like to slim
- Chronic teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- TMJ discomfort, tension headaches, or jaw pain
- A desire for non-surgical facial contouring with no downtime
At Skinly Aesthetics, Dr. Schwarzburg will assess your facial anatomy and symptoms to determine if masseter Botox is the right solution.

FAQs About Masseter Botox in NYC
Is masseter Botox safe?
Yes. When performed by a qualified physician, masseter Botox is very safe. Side effects are minimal, such as mild swelling, temporary soreness, or slight bruising.
How many units of Botox are needed for masseter slimming?
Most patients require 20–30 units per side, but in severe cases it can be up to 60-70 units per side. The exact number depends on the size of your masseter muscles and whether the goal is facial slimming, TMJ relief, or both.
When will I see results from masseter Botox?
Subtle changes can be noticed in 2–3 weeks, with the full slimming effect visible at 4–6 weeks.
Will Botox in the jaw affect my ability to chew?
No. Normal chewing and smiling are unaffected. Only excessive clenching is reduced. You’ll still be able to enjoy all foods.
How long does masseter Botox last?
Results typically last 4–6 months. With repeated treatments, effects may last longer as the muscle gradually shrinks.
What are the risks of masseter Botox?
Risks are very rare when performed correctly. The most common concerns are temporary soreness or minor asymmetry, which usually resolve on their own.
Can I exercise after masseter Botox?
Avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours. After that, you can resume your normal fitness routine without issue.
Is masseter Botox permanent?
No. Results gradually fade over months as the muscle regains activity. Maintenance treatments are recommended for lasting results.
Can men get masseter Botox?
Absolutely. Masseter Botox benefits both men and women. Men often seek it for TMJ relief, jaw pain reduction, or to create a more defined facial contour.
