Jawline Slimming & Teeth Grinding

Worried that your jaw looks too wide? Do you feel it looks too masculine or out of proportion with your face?

Your jaw contains masseter muscles that control the movements related to chewing. Teeth grinding (also known as bruxism) can ‘bulk’ these muscles up (hypertrophy) and make your jaw wider. This can also happen if you clench your jaw whilst sleeping.

 

Botox for your jawline can be highly effective at making your jawline and profile slimmer and more harmonious. This can also help relieve headaches for those who grind their teeth.

​

HOW IS BOTOX JAWLINE SLIMMING PERFORMED?

To treat a wide jaw, we inject small doses of Botulinum toxin (Botox) directly into your masseter muscles on both sides of your face. This causes your muscles to relax, reducing the width of your face and decreasing how often you grind your teeth and clench your jaw. Some patients pair jawline Botox with dermal fillers, while others get the treatment on its own.

THE BENEFITS OF TREATMENT

Botox jawline slimming is an excellent cosmetic treatment that can change your face shape. Instead of a square, masculine jaw, you can achieve a more narrow and oval appearance.

In strictly medical terms, jawline Botox can help reduce the size of your masseter muscles, stopping you from teeth grinding or clenching your jaw. Many of my patients gain relief from chronic headaches after they have this treatment, helping them getting more rest and live fuller lives.
