Masseter Facial Thinning Botox, Teeth Tightening Botox

The Masseter muscle is a facial muscle that connects your lower jaw to your cheek. It’s one of the few muscles responsible for chewing. This muscle’s size can also be congenital, or it is generally seen in patients who grind or clench their teeth, significantly altering the shape of the lower face. For example, a large-sized masseter muscle can make an oval face look square.

It can also cause facial asymmetry by making one side of your chin more prominent than the other. After the masseter muscle becomes prominent, we observe cases that grind their teeth or clamp tightly at night, either due to tension or habit. Grinding teeth, also called bruxism, can cause headache and pain in your teeth when you wake up in the morning. With long-term clenching and clamping, this muscle becomes thicker and thicker over the years, leading to a wider jaw.

Botulinum toxin A injections are a great way to reduce the size of your masseter muscles and recover your proper facial proportions. With Masseter botox, when we loosen the muscle, this tightening and clamping situation does not occur. Masseter botox is a safe and effective injectable product. In the classic sense, it’s the same botox we use for facial wrinkles. When we inject it into the masseter muscle, the muscle relaxes, shrinks in appearance, the swelling decreases, and a natural-looking result is obtained. This injection helps relax the masseter muscle by limiting its movement. After being injected, the muscle stops working so hard and applying too much pressure. Of course, after the masseter botox, you will still be able to chew, move your jaw and make normal facial expressions. Since the muscle doesn’t work much anymore, it will just return to its normal size. This will also improve the proportions and balance of your face by giving your chin a slimmer appearance. Moreover, especially for women, masseter botox treatment makes their lower sides look thinner and more feminine.

Generally, the amount of botox required to treat this area varies between 60 and 100 units of botox depending on muscle thickness. Masseter botox price also varies according to this amount. Patients can expect their headaches and clamping to go away within a week, and about a month after treatment, they will see the full effects of jaw thinning when it is time for the muscle to dry out. The treatment won’t take long and you can get back to work right away. The effect will continue for an average of 6 months. In addition, when performed regularly, the patient may forget to clench and there may be no need to repeat.
