Botox for Facial Slimming: San Francisco Aesthetics

Botox is very effective for slimming the jaw line. Very commonly people who clench and grind their teeth at night develop a strong, square jaw line.  Botox can create a more feminine, slim appearance to the jaw line.

How does it work?

By injecting Botox or Dysport into the masseter muscle (the main muscle used for chewing),  the muscle will relax and reduce in size therefore slimming the jaw line.

How long will it last?

You can expect your Botox or Dysport treatment to last six months in this area. You will start noticing a reduction in your jaw line a few weeks after treatment, with a significant reduction after two months.  Evidence suggests that once you have had multiple treatments of Botox for facial slimming, the results  will last a longer period of time.

How do I know if I am a good candidate for Botox for facial slimming?

Can you see the muscles along your jaw line move as you chew or bite down? Do you have a square jaw line with protruding muscles? If so, you may be a good candidate for Botox to slim the face.

If the masseter muscle is the cause of the bulkiness along the jaw line, Botox is perfect for you. In some cases, the size of the jaw line is caused by the bone structure. Unfortunately, Botox will only address the size of the muscle and surgery may be required to shave down the bone.
