Refine a wider lower face while keeping your natural proportions. Where enlarged chewing muscles create extra bulk at the jaw, masseter treatment offers a gradual change in outline, bringing the sides of the face into balance with your cheeks and chin without adding filler.
What is masseter reduction treatment?
Masseter reduction uses botulinum toxin in enlarged chewing muscles at the sides of the jaw. Reduced muscle activity leads to a gradual change in bulk, making this a muscle-focused form of facial contouring.
When do you choose this treatment?
Consider masseter treatment when enlarged chewing muscles make the lower face look wider than you would like. It is a contouring option for muscle-related bulk rather than every cause of facial width.
Safety of Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin treatment starts with a medical assessment of your health, medicines and the area being treated. Temporary bruising, tenderness or unwanted weakness can occur. Seek urgent medical attention for difficulty swallowing or breathing, or weakness beyond the treated area.
Treatment process
Here’s what to expect at each stage, from your consultation to your follow-up.

04
Result review
Aftercare is explained and a review is arranged if the indication or response requires it.
Before and aftercare
Before the treatment
Share your medical history, allergies, medicines and previous procedures, and do not stop prescribed medicine unless the prescribing clinician advises it. Avoid treatment during active infection and tell the clinician about pregnancy, breastfeeding or neuromuscular conditions.
After the treatment
Keep the area clean, avoid rubbing or pressing it, and follow the clinician’s advice about exercise, heat and other facial treatments. Contact the clinic if symptoms become severe or unusual.
Results
Muscle relaxation starts within 3-7 days, while a slimmer lower-face outline develops gradually as the masseter muscles become less active. The response is reviewed after 2-4 weeks, with the muscle-relaxing effect commonly lasting about 3-6 months.
