Face slimming botox is one of the medical aesthetic procedures that aims to create a slimmer and more oval facial appearance by reducing the volume of the masseter muscles located especially in the jaw area. The masseter muscles are strong muscles that work actively during chewing. In some people, the prominence of these muscles can cause the lower part of the face to appear wider and more angular.
Before masseter botox, the facial structure and the prominence of the jaw muscles are evaluated by a specialist. In particular, muscle volume resulting from teeth grinding or overuse of the jaw muscles is taken into account. Small doses of botulinum toxin are injected into the appropriate points. The procedure usually takes a short time, and daily life can be resumed quickly after the application.
Masseter botox may help make the lower part of the face appear slimmer by reducing the activity of the jaw muscles and, over time, muscle volume. The goal is for facial contours to appear more oval and balanced. The onset of the effect may vary from person to person, and the results are not permanent.
It should be remembered that face slimming botox may not be suitable for everyone. Before the procedure, it is important for a specialist to evaluate the facial anatomy, the structure of the masseter muscles, and the person's expectations. Proper technique and the use of an appropriate dose help preserve a natural facial expression.
