The Essentials of Jaw Width Reduction

During your consultation for masseter muscle reduction using neuromodulator injections, we’ll discuss potential complications, recovery, and pricing with you.

Techniques

Masseter muscle reduction can be reduced with Botox or Dysport injections.

Neuromodulators is a leading treatment in aesthetic medicine. Dr. Chen Lee, will guide you toward the most suitable solution for your needs.

These injections are designed for individuals who perceive their jaw as overly square, rectangular, or wide. Neuromodulators injections work to diminish jaw width, thereby refining the facial oval.

The injections specifically target the mandibular muscles responsible for an excessively square jaw.

The injection should be administered at the lower border of the masseter muscle.

Typically, a full vial (100 units) of botulinum toxin is required to treat both sides of the jaw. Alternatively, you can begin with half a vial (50 units) and return two weeks later for an additional half if necessary.

OnabotulinumtoxinA was first approved by the FDA in 1989 for therapeutic use to treat neuromuscular disorders. Allergan later initiated clinical trials to assess its safety and effectiveness for cosmetic applications. After extensive research, in 2002, the FDA approved onabotulinumtoxinA as a temporary treatment for moderate to severe wrinkles caused by brow furrowing in adults. It became the first product of its kind to be approved for aesthetic use.

AbobotulinumtoxinA, a popular competitor neuromodulator produced by Galderma Laboratories, has been used in clinics worldwide for over 25 years and is approved in 69 countries. Derived from Type A Botulinum Toxin, it acts as a local muscle relaxant or neuromuscular blocking agent and is used for both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes. One of its cosmetic applications is to temporarily reduce moderate to severe glabellar lines, commonly known as “11 lines.”

Déroulement & Risques

Masseter muscle reduction by injections are usually planned on a quarter year basis.

During your consultation, Dr. Lee will assess your jawline and determine the best approach for achieving your desired results. He will discuss the options available for reducing its width using neuromodulator injections.

On the day of the injections, fasting is not required.

The procedure occurs at the office and can typically be performed immediately following your consultation, provided you arrive punctually for your appointment. With just three micro-injections on each side of the jaw, a reduction in the size of the jaw muscle at the mandibular angle is achievable.

Possible complications are rare but can occur:

Locally: you may encounter redness, bruising (hematoma), and swelling around the eyes, which typically subsides within 4 to 5 days and gradually diminishes over a few days or weeks. Additionally, you might experience temporary sensitivity issues, such as forehead tension or fleeting eye pain.
Results imperfections: Possible imperfections in results may include the persistence of fine lines or asymmetry. They will be subject to rapid correction by toxin or other techniques.
Complications: Complications may include headaches, drooping of the eyebrow or eyelid, dry eye, and, very rarely, allergy, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, dry skin, or mouth.

Aesthetic procedures, particularly Botulinum Toxin treatments, strive to deliver realistic and fulfilling outcomes tailored to your preferences.

With Botulinum Toxin, rejuvenation is achieved in exchange for reducing or eliminating specific facial expressions.

Financement & Convalescence

Payment for non-surgical treatments is due on the same day as your appointment with Dr. Chen Lee. You can settle your bill via Interac, Visa/Mastercard, or cash. Please note that we do not accept checks or American Express cards.

AbobotulinumtoxinA costs $13 per unit plus taxes.

During your consultation, Dr. Chen Lee will assess your needs and recommend the appropriate number of units for your treatment.

If you’re considering financing for a treatment involving neuromodulator injections and several filler syringes, you can request an estimate from us after your consultation with Dr. Chen Lee. Once you have the estimate, you can contact the financing company to specify the amount you wish to borrow.

The treatment should be repeated every 6 to 8 months, longer than the typical 4-6 months for neuromodulator in aesthetics.

Over time, the reduction in muscle volume becomes more enduring, resulting in less frequent treatment intervals.

Without any adjustments, the jaw typically reverts to its initial appearance after approximately 1 year.
