Sculpt a Slimmer, More Defined Jawline with Masseter Botox Treatment in Long Island

A sharp jawline can give the face a well-defined and balanced look. A heavy or square jaw, on the other hand, provides less of a “foundation” for the features above. This softness can sometimes be caused by pronounced masseter muscles or chewing muscles. Luckily, masseter muscle reduction with BOTOX^® can be helpful. Masseter BOTOX^® at Long Island’s VITRA Aesthetics Clinic—also known as jawline BOTOX^®—can improve the appearance of a prominent or asymmetric jawline caused by enlarged muscles. For anyone longing for a more defined, sleek, and contoured lower jaw, masseter BOTOX^® is an effective way to achieve a slimmer, more V-shaped appearance in the lower face.

Masseter BOTOX® is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses a neuromodulator—specifically botulinum toxin type A—to block the nerve signals in the masseter muscles. By gradually softening their activity, Masseter BOTOX® helps slim the lower face and contour the jawline. This treatment is also effective for relieving jaw tension, teeth grinding (bruxism), and TMJ-related discomfort.

It’s ideal for people who have an asymmetric or disproportionate jawline linked to overly prominent jaw muscles due to overuse, grinding, or teeth clenching. We can help you determine what the best approach will be after a personalized consultation at VITRA Aesthetics. This is also the ideal time to discuss other details, like BOTOX® cost.

Benefits of Masseter BOTOX®

Masseter BOTOX® injections are an FDA-approved, effective treatment used to relax or weaken the jaw muscles. Masseter BOTOX® or BOTOX® for masseter reduction can gradually reduce the size of these muscles by using the neurotoxin “botulinum toxin type A” to interfere with muscles contractions. By slimming these muscles, masseter BOTOX® can make the jaw look narrower and sculpt the more inverted triangle or heart-shaped facial appearance many patients desire.

The injectable may also be used to provide a lip lift, address bunny lines, target the DAO muscle to lift the corners of the mouth, and soften the jawline. It even has medical uses, such as helping to curb excess sweating.

What Can Masseter BOTOX® Do for You?

BOTOX^® is FDA-approved for reducing dynamic fine lines on several areas of the face, but many experienced professionals also use it to relax or weaken the jaw muscles. Masseter BOTOX^® or BOTOX^® for masseter reduction can gradually reduce the size of these muscles by using botulinum toxin type A to interfere with muscles contractions. By slimming these muscles, masseter BOTOX^® can make the jaw look narrower and sculpt the more inverted triangle or heart-shaped facial appearance many patients desire.

What To Expect at VITRA Aesthetics

Your visit starts with a one-on-one consultation. We’ll examine your facial structure, listen to your goals, and review your health history to ensure the treatment plan is safe and effective for you.

The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. Your healthcare provider will cleanse the area and, if desired, apply a topical numbing cream. A few small injections are placed into the masseter muscle on each side using a tiny needle. The number of botulinum toxin injections and amount of BOTOX® needed will be different for everyone.

You’re free to return to your daily activities right away. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur at the treated area, but this typically fades within a few days. Results develop gradually over 2 to 6 weeks, with a visibly slimmer jawline and reduced tension or teeth grinding.

Most clients enjoy results for 3 to 6 months before a touch-up is needed.

How Can BOTOX® Help With TMJ

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) treatments with BOTOX® can help to relieve soreness associated with certain jaw-related disorders. Because it’s a muscle relaxer, BOTOX® injections can reduce symptoms such as jaw clenching, bruxism, migraines from teeth grinding, and lockjaw from severe stress that is often seen with Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).

Other Cosmetic Treatments Available at VITRA Aesthetics

Masseter BOTOX® for the jaw is just one of the non-surgical treatments available for refining the appearance of the jawline area at VITRA Aesthetics Clinic.

For people who want to add facial contouring

or dimension to the jawline, dermal fillers may be the best solution. Juvéderm® is a hyaluronic acid facial filler collection. This filler can temporarily add lift and fullness to the cheeks, which can make the jawline look more contoured as a result. Sculptra® is a biostimulatory injection that gives the jawline a smoother, more youthful appearance by stimulating collagen production. Radiesse® is another collagen stimulator that works extremely well for enhancing the contours of the lower face and jawline.

If a double chin caused by stubborn fat between the chin and neck is preventing you from achieving the defined jawline you want, Kybella® (an injectable containing deoxycholic acid that dissolves fat cells ) or CoolSculpting® (a treatment that freezes fat in isolated areas and causes it to be removed from the body) may be the best treatment options.

BOTOX treatments are also commonly used for forehead lines, crow’s feet, glabellar lines, bunny lines at the sides of the nose, and lines above the upper lip. For all of these options and more, don’t simply go with the first results that pops up after typing “BOTOX® near me.” Choose experienced, caring, and talented injectors like the team at VITRA Aesthetics!

FAQs About Masseter BOTOX in Long Island NY

How long do the results of Masseter BOTOX® last?

The effects of Masseter BOTOX® typically last between 3 andto 6 months, depending on your individual response and muscle activity. Over time, the masseter muscles gradually return to their original size, so we recommend regular treatments to maintain your desired jawline contour and youthful appearance.

Other neuromodulators like Dysport® and Xeomin® can also be used to help reduce the masseter muscle, offering a similar duration of effect with subtle differences in muscle diffusion and onset time, depending on your needs.

Who is a good candidate for Masseter BOTOX®?

You may be a good candidate for Masseter BOTOX® if you are looking to:

Slim down a wide or square jawline caused by enlarged masseter muscles
Relieve symptoms of bruxism, such as teeth grinding or jaw tension
Improve facial symmetry for a softer, more refined appearance

It’s important to be in overall good health and to have realistic expectations. During your consultation, your provider will assess your needs and determine if Masseter BOTOX® is the right option for you.

However, if you have an overly prominent jawline that’s caused primarily by large jawbones, then you will probably not be a good candidate for jaw BOTOX®. Come in for a free consultation to find out if it’s right for you and discuss other details, like how much Masseter BOTOX cost.

What is the masseter muscle?

The masseter muscle is a rectangular-shaped muscle that runs between the cheekbone and jaw. It’s one of the main facial muscles involved in chewing and teeth clenching. The primary function of the muscle is to lift the jawbone and bring the teeth together in an up-and-down motion.

A facial shape that is defined by a wider forehead that tapers to a narrow jawline— sometimes referred to as an inverted triangle face shape—is considered a youthful or feminine appearance.

Is Masseter BOTOX® painful?

Masseter BOTOX® is a quick and minimally invasive procedure. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the treatment, but if you’d like, we can apply a topical numbing cream to ensure a comfortable experience. The procedure usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes, with no downtime, so you can return to your regular activities immediately!

Are there any potential side effects or risks with Masseter BOTOX®?

Masseter BOTOX® is considered safe when administered by a trained and experienced provider. Common side effects are mild and may include temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site.

In rare cases, patients may experience muscle weakness, difficulty chewing, or asymmetry in the jawline. These effects are temporary and usually go away on their own. Your medical provider will discuss any potential risks and make sure the treatment is performed safely and effectively.

Who should NOT get Masseter Botox injections?

Masseter Botox is generally safe for most healthy adults, but there are a few situations where this treatment may not be recommended. You should avoid or delay Masseter Botox if you:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have a known allergy to botulinum toxin or any ingredients in the injection
Have a neuromuscular disorder such as myasthenia gravis, ALS, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome
Have an active skin infection, acne cyst, or inflammation near the jaw area
Have a history of difficulty swallowing or breathing
Rely on strong jaw muscle function for activities like professional singing, public speaking, or heavy chewing (e.g., athletes or wind instrument players)

How long does it take to see results from Masseter BOTOX®?

You’ll begin to notice results from Masseter BOTOX® within 1 to 2 weeks since the muscles need time to gradually relax and shrink in size. You can typically expect to see full results, including jaw slimming and bruxism relief, after 4 to 6 weeks. As the masseter muscles shrink, you’ll enjoy a more sculpted jawline and relief from jaw pain.
