A strong, square jawline can be distinctly masculine and desirable in male patients but many female patients are seeking softer more feminized shape to their face.
Jaw reduction surgery used to be the only option for many patients. However, patients had long recovery times, inconsistent and unnatural results. Now Botox has revolutionised facial reshaping.
Botox allows for changing the shape of the face without a scalpel, pain, swelling and zero downtime.
Botox jaw reduction is a specialised technique to reduce the width of the jawline changing an overly square jawline to a more attractive oval or heart shaped face.In some patients, the the masseter muscle, a chewing muscle,often found enlarged in teeth grinders is enlarged creating extra facial width.
Botox selectively weakens this muscle over time leading to an overall reduction in the size of this muscle.
