Non-Surgical Jawline Slimming in NorthShore MedSpa Aesthetics & Star Facial Plastic Surgery
Jaw slimming with masseter Botox® injections, also known as masseter reduction or jawline contouring, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at achieving a more sculpted and slender appearance in the lower face. This non-surgical treatment involves the use of botulinum toxin (often Botox) to selectively weaken and relax the masseter muscles, which are responsible for chewing and clenching the jaw.
Jaw slimming with masseter Botox injections can enhance facial symmetry and create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. It is a non-surgical alternative to surgical jaw reduction, offering results with fewer risks and a shorter recovery period.

Am I A Candidate For Non-Surgical Jawline Slimming?
Before the procedure, the patient consults with a qualified and experienced aesthetic practitioner, typically a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. During this consultation, the practitioner evaluates the patient’s facial anatomy, discusses their cosmetic concerns, and understands their desired jawline shape and size. The practitioner reviews the patient’s medical history and assesses whether jaw slimming with masseter Botox injections is suitable for their needs.
The procedure is considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. However, it’s essential for patients to follow post-injection instructions and avoid excessive chewing or teeth clenching to optimize the results.
What Happens During Non-Surgical Jawline Slimming?
Botox works by blocking the signals between nerves and muscles, temporarily weakening the targeted muscles. When injected into the masseter muscles, it reduces their activity, leading to muscle atrophy (shrinkage) over time.
Masseter Botox injections are typically performed without the need for anesthesia, as the procedure involves minimal discomfort. However, a topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area if the patient desires it.
Using fine needles, the practitioner injects Botox into specific points within the masseter muscles on both sides of the jaw. The number of injections and the amount of Botox used depend on the patient’s anatomy and the desired degree of slimming.

Non-Surgical Jawline Slimming Recovery & Results
Patients typically start noticing the effects of masseter Botox injections within a few weeks, with the jawline gradually becoming more slender and defined. The full results become apparent over several months as the masseter muscles continue to weaken.
Jaw slimming with masseter Botox injections is associated with minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure.
The duration of results can vary from patient to patient, but generally, they last for about 4 to 6 months. Patients may choose to undergo maintenance injections to sustain the desired jaw slimming effects.
