Jaw Slimming (Masseter Reduction) Treatment in Hyderabad

Do you feel your jawline is too wide, square, or masculine-looking due to overdeveloped masseter (jaw) muscles? This can be caused by genetics, teeth grinding (bruxism), or excessive chewing. Botulinum Toxin injections into the masseter muscles offer a highly effective, non-surgical solution to slim the jawline, create a softer, more V-shaped facial contour, and alleviate symptoms of bruxism. At Dr. Nishita’s Clinic in Hyderabad, we specialise in masseter reduction using Botulinum Toxin for a refined and balanced facial appearance.

Understanding Jaw Slimming with Botulinum Toxin

The masseter muscles are large muscles on the sides of your jaw used for chewing.

  • Masseter Hypertrophy: When these muscles become enlarged or overdeveloped (hypertrophic), they can give the lower face a wide, square, or bulky appearance.
  • How Botulinum Toxin Works: When injected into the masseter muscles, Botulinum Toxin temporarily relaxes them. Over time, this reduced activity causes the muscles to shrink (atrophy) in size.
  • Aesthetic Outcome: This muscle slimming leads to a narrower lower face, a softer jawline angle, and a more defined, V-shaped facial contour.
  • Functional Benefits: It can also significantly reduce teeth grinding (bruxism) and associated symptoms like jaw pain, tension headaches, and TMJ discomfort.

Benefits of Masseter Reduction / Jaw Slimming

  • Creates a more tapered, V-shaped facial appearance.
  • Softens prominent jaw angles for a more feminine look (if desired).

The Jaw Slimming Procedure at Dr. Nishita’s Clinic

Dr. Nishita will assess your facial structure, the size and strength of your masseter muscles, and discuss your aesthetic goals. She will also inquire about symptoms of bruxism.

The injection sites over the masseter muscles are cleansed. Numbing cream is generally not required as the procedure is quick and discomfort is minimal.

Using a fine needle, Dr. Nishita injects precise amounts of Botulinum Toxin into specific points within each masseter muscle.

The injection process itself takes only about 10-15 minutes.

No significant downtime. You can resume normal activities. It’s usually advised to avoid strenuous chewing (like tough meats or gum) for a day or two and avoid massaging the area.

You may start to notice some muscle relaxation and reduction in grinding (if applicable) within a week. The visible slimming effect on the jawline typically becomes apparent in 4-8 weeks as the muscle gradually reduces in size.

The slimming effect usually lasts for 4-6 months, sometimes longer, especially after repeated treatments. For bruxism relief, effects also last about 4-6 months.

Discomfort is minimal. Most patients describe it as a few quick pricks.

While the masseter muscles are relaxed, your ability to chew will not be significantly affected, as other chewing muscles compensate. Some patients report a slight temporary change in chewing sensation for very tough foods, which resolves.

For optimal slimming, an initial treatment is given. The treatment can be repeated every 4-6 months to maintain the results. Some patients find that with regular treatments, the interval between sessions can be extended.
