Something we hear often during consultations:

“I feel like my face looks wider than it used to.”

Not necessarily fuller or more mature, just broader through the lower face. 

Some patients first notice the change in photographs or on video calls. Others realize it after years of using contouring makeup or experimenting with different hairstyles, only to find that the shape of the lower face still feels the same. 

What many people don’t realize is that a fuller jawline isn’t always caused by excess weight.

In many cases, the width of the lower face is related less to overall facial fullness and more to the size and activity of the jaw muscles. The masseter muscle which is often what leads patients to start researching masseter botox jaw slimming treatments. 

Unlike surgical contouring, Masseter Botox targets a muscle that can significantly influence the shape of the lower face. 

For the right candidate, relaxing this muscle can gradually soften a square jawline and create a more tapered appearance without an overnight or dramatic change.
