Facial Slimming for a Wider Jawline

Service Description

A wider or more square jawline can be influenced by genetics, but it is often related to overactivity of the masseter muscles — the strong muscles responsible for chewing and clenching. Over time, habits such as teeth grinding or jaw clenching (bruxism) can cause these muscles to enlarge, creating a heavier lower face and a broader facial shape. This may also contribute to jaw tension, TMJ discomfort, and stress-related headaches. How Treatment Works The masseter muscles respond well to precise treatment with a neuromodulator such as Botox® or Dysport®. By gently relaxing these muscles, the lower face softens and gradually appears slimmer and more contoured. As the jawline narrows, the cheeks and natural facial structure become more balanced and refined. Many patients also notice relief from jaw tension, clenching, and related headaches. Procedure Time Approximately 10 minutes Results Visible slimming and softening develop gradually over 1–2 weeks For patients experiencing skin laxity or loss of definition, treatment may be combined with dermal fillers for enhanced contour and support.
