Botox Jaw Slimming – Achieve a V-Shaped Face Without Surgery

What Is Botox Jaw Slimming?

Botox jaw slimming—also known as masseter Botox—involves injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles, which are located at the angle of the jaw. These muscles are responsible for chewing, and when overdeveloped, they can lead to a wide or boxy jawline.

By temporarily relaxing these muscles, Botox reduces their activity and bulk over time. The result is a slimmer, more contoured jawline and improved facial balance—all without surgery or downtime.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Jaw Slimming with Botox?

This treatment is suitable for individuals who:

• Have a wide or square jawline caused by enlarged masseter muscles
• Are looking to achieve a softer, V-line face shape
• Grind their teeth (bruxism) or clench their jaw frequently
• Experience jaw tension or facial asymmetry
• Prefer a non-invasive alternative to jaw reduction surgery
• Are in good health with realistic expectations

Jaw slimming with Botox is especially popular among those who want subtle but noticeable facial contouring without drastic changes.

Benefits of Botox Jaw Slimming

• Non-surgical reduction of jaw width
• Slimmer, more feminine or V-shaped lower face
• Relief from jaw pain, tension, or teeth grinding
• Improved facial balance and symmetry
• Minimal downtime and quick treatment (20–30 minutes)
• Natural-looking results that develop gradually over weeks

How the Procedure Works

1. Consultation: A facial assessment is conducted to determine the size and strength of your masseter muscles and your aesthetic goals.
2. Injection: Small amounts of botulinum toxin are precisely injected into each masseter muscle.
3. Relaxation & Slimming: Over the next few weeks, the muscles relax and begin to shrink due to reduced activity.
4. Results: Most patients see noticeable facial slimming within 2–4 weeks, with results lasting around 3–6 months.

Signs You May Have Enlarged Masseter Muscles

Not sure if you’re a candidate for jaw slimming? Common signs of masseter hypertrophy include:

• A strong or square-shaped jaw
• Visible bulging of the jaw when clenching
• Jaw tension, tightness, or pain
• Facial asymmetry
• Teeth grinding during sleep

A professional assessment can determine whether Botox is the right solution for your needs.

Can Botox Help with Teeth Grinding or Jaw Pain?

Yes. Botox injections in the jaw are not only cosmetic—they can also treat bruxism (teeth grinding) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain. By relaxing the masseter muscles, Botox reduces the force of clenching and grinding, which can alleviate tension, headaches, and jaw discomfort, improving your quality of life alongside your appearance.

Recovery and Aftercare

Jaw slimming with Botox requires minimal recovery time. Here's what to expect:

• Immediately After: Return to daily activities right away. Avoid touching the treated area for several hours.
• First 24 Hours: Avoid intense exercise, alcohol, or heat exposure.
• First Few Days: Use gentle skincare and avoid pressure on the jaw.
• Follow-Up: Results peak after 4–6 weeks. Repeat treatments are typically needed every 4–6 months to maintain the effect.

How Long Do Results Last?

Most patients enjoy 3 to 6 months of visible results following jaw slimming injections. The longevity depends on individual factors such as metabolism, muscle size, and lifestyle habits (like clenching or grinding). Regular maintenance treatments help prolong the effect and can further slim the jawline over time.

Cost of Botox Jaw Slimming

Pricing for jaw slimming Botox varies depending on the amount of product used and the size of your masseter muscles. On average:

• Price Range: ₩300,000 to ₩800,000 KRW per session
• Units Required: Typically 20–50 units per side, based on individual anatomy

A consultation is necessary to provide a customized quote tailored to your face shape and treatment goals.

Botox vs. Other Jaw Slimming Treatments

Compared to surgical jaw reduction or facial contouring with fillers, Botox offers:

• No downtime
• No incisions or anesthesia
• Natural, gradual changes
• Reversible results
• Less risk and faster recovery

While surgical methods offer permanent results, Botox is ideal for those looking for a non-permanent and lower-risk option.

Potential Risks and Side Effects

Jaw slimming with Botox is generally safe, but as with any treatment, some risks exist:

• Mild bruising or swelling
• Temporary muscle weakness or difficulty chewing tough foods
• Asymmetry (rare and usually correctable)
• Headache or jaw fatigue
• Rare allergic reaction or unintended muscle movement

Choosing a qualified, experienced injector is the best way to minimize risks and ensure optimal results.
