Botox for Jawline Slimming
The 15-minute V-shape treatment. How masseter Botox gradually transforms a square jaw into a more refined contour — a frequently requested treatment at VERZO CLINIC.
How Masseter Botox Works
The masseter is one of the strongest muscles in the body — designed for chewing. When overdeveloped from genetics, bruxism (teeth grinding), or habitual gum chewing, it creates a wide, square jawline. Botox injected into the masseter relaxes the muscle, and over weeks of reduced activity, the muscle gradually decreases in size — just as any muscle does when you stop exercising it.
The result is a slimmer, more V-shaped face contour. The treatment takes just 15 minutes, involves 3-5 injection points per side, and requires minimal downtime.
Ideal Candidates
- Noticeably square jaw caused by muscle bulk (not bone)
- Visible masseter bulge when clenching teeth
- Teeth grinding (bruxism) causing jaw muscle enlargement
- Desire for a slimmer, more V-shaped facial contour
- Both men and women — increasingly popular with male patients
"The self-test is simple: place your fingers on the angle of your jaw and clench. If you feel a strong muscle bulge, you will likely see good results from masseter Botox. If the squareness is from bone structure, we discuss other options."
— Dr. Waleerat Thaweebanchongsin, VERZO CLINIC
Slimming Timeline
Units Needed: 25-50 per Side
| Muscle Size | Units per Side | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Mild enlargement | 25-30 | 50-60 |
| Moderate enlargement | 35-45 | 70-90 |
| Severe enlargement | 50-60 | 100-120 |
Maintenance Schedule
The key to masseter Botox is cumulative treatment. Each session weakens the muscle further, and over time the muscle atrophies to a smaller baseline size.
Enhanced Results: Combo with Lipo X
For patients who want dramatic jawline improvement, combining masseter Botox with Lipo Lifting X in the submental area creates a comprehensive lower face transformation. Botox slims the jaw muscle while Lipo X reduces double chin fat — together defining the jawline from both angles.
Both treatments can be performed in the same visit. The combination is a frequent request for patients seeking V-shape improvement at VERZO CLINIC.
