Masseter Muscle Reduction | Slim & Contoured Jawline
What Is Masseter Muscle Reduction?
Masseter muscle reduction is a cosmetic procedure designed to slim the lower face and create a more defined, feminine, or balanced jawline. The masseter muscles, located at the back of the jaw, can become enlarged due to genetics, teeth grinding (bruxism), or chewing habits, resulting in a square or bulky jaw appearance.
At Skin House, we use non-surgical treatments to relax and reshape the masseter muscles, achieving a softer, more harmonious facial contour.
Benefits of Masseter Muscle Reduction
Patients choose masseter reduction to:
Slim and contour the jawline
Improve facial symmetry
Reduce teeth grinding and jaw tension
Achieve a more youthful or feminine facial appearance
Enjoy a minimally invasive treatment with no downtime
How Masseter Muscle Reduction Works
The most common method uses Botox injections into the masseter muscles. Botox relaxes these muscles, causing them to gradually shrink over time. The result is a slimmer, more proportionate lower face without affecting chewing or facial expression.
Treatment Process
Consultation: A personalized assessment to evaluate jawline structure and treatment goals.
Injection: Precise Botox injections are administered into the masseter muscles.
Recovery: Minimal downtime; normal activities can be resumed immediately.
Results and Longevity
Initial results can be seen within 2–4 weeks, with full effects visible in 6–8 weeks. Muscle reduction typically lasts 4–6 months, and repeated treatments can maintain long-term jawline contouring.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Masseter reduction is suitable for patients who:
Have a square or bulky jawline caused by large masseter muscles
Experience teeth grinding or jaw tension
Desire a softer, slimmer facial profile
