Jaw reduction

Over-activity of the jaw muscles (Masseters) can lead to a square looking jaw line. This can be an attractive characteristic in males however in females a more oval and softer face shape is often desired.

Causes of overuse of the jaw muscles include a condition called bruxism (grinding of the teeth at night) or excessive chewing of gum, which can lead to the muscles becoming enlarged making the jaw appear wide.

The Non-surgical jaw reduction treatment has revolutionised cosmetic sculpting of the lower face. It has bypassed the need for surgery with prolonged recovery times and asymmetrical results.

The technique of non-surgical jaw reduction involves 2 to 3 painless injections of Botox in to the masseter muscle either side of the face. Over the next few days this causes a weakening of the jaw muscle and therefore an overall reduction in the size. The procedure is simple and painless and only takes 5-10 minutes. Results are visible by two weeks and the effects can last up to 6 months.

*Treatments are bespoke for every individual and results may vary.
