Masseter Reduction & V-Line Slimming

Jawline Botox in Seoul. Symmetrical V-Line & TMJ Relief.

Overdeveloped masseter (chewing) muscles can create a wide, square lower face and contribute to nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw tension. At BOME Seoul, Jawline Botox precisely relaxes hyperactive masseter muscles to slim the lower jaw, contour a smooth V-line silhouette, and relieve chronic jaw discomfort.

Dual Aesthetic & Functional Impact

Why Consider Jawline & Masseter Botox?

By reducing excessive muscle bulk, Masseter Botox delivers both significant aesthetic facial slimming and functional relief from jaw clenching.

01

V-Line Contour

Reduces squareness at the jaw angles, transforming a heavy lower face into a softer, slimmer, oval V-shape profile.

02

Bruxism & Clenching Relief

Eases involuntary night teeth grinding and clenching by reducing the force exerted by hyperactive masseter muscles.

03

TMJ Tension & Headache Relief

Relieves muscular tightness associated with TMJ disorders, reducing strain headaches and jaw soreness upon waking.

04

Facial Symmetry Correction

Adjusts dosage independently on each side to balance muscular asymmetry caused by chewing predominantly on one side.

Doctor Assessment

Safeguarding Cheek Structure & Smile Dynamics.

Indiscriminate masseter injections can risk sunken cheek hollows or affect the risorius muscle, leading to an asymmetrical smile. BOME’s conservative doctor protocol prevents these side effects through rigorous muscle palpation.

Safety Zone Mapping

Injections stay strictly within the safe anatomical boundaries of the inferior masseter, far from smile-controlling muscles.

Palpation-Guided Dosing

We evaluate your clenching strength on both sides to determine exact units required for naturally balanced reduction.

Cheek Volume Preservation

Micro-focused placement ensures muscle shrinkage happens strictly along the jaw angle, keeping upper cheek volume intact.

Slimming Timeline

What to Expect After Masseter Botox.

Week 1

Functional Relief

Biting force gently softens. Nighttime clenching and tension headaches begin to noticeably subside.

Weeks 2–4

Initial Muscle Reduction

The masseter muscle begins to atrophy slightly. The lower jawline starts looking subtly slimmer and softer.

Weeks 6–8

Peak V-Line Result

Maximum visual slimming achieved. Jaw contour appears defined, slender, and symmetrically balanced.

Months 5–6

Maintenance Period

Muscle volume slowly begins rebuilding. Scheduling touch-up appointments helps maintain the slim shape long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jawline Botox Queries Answered.

Will Masseter Botox affect my ability to chew food?

You may feel a slight weakness or quick tiring when chewing tough or chewy foods (like steak or squid) during the first couple of weeks. However, normal eating and chewing function remain completely fine as surrounding muscles compensate.

How can I tell if my wide jaw is caused by muscle or bone structure?

Clench your teeth tightly together and feel the sides of your jaw near the back angle. If you feel a thick, bulging muscle pop outward, you are an excellent candidate for Masseter Botox. If the width is purely bone, surgical contouring or dermal fillers may be discussed instead.

Will Masseter Botox make my skin sag around the lower cheek?

In mature patients or those with existing skin laxity, rapid muscle shrinkage can occasionally lead to mild sagging along the jawline. BOME doctors assess skin elasticity prior to treatment and may recommend combining Masseter Botox with HIFU lifting (Shurink/Ultherapy) for optimal skin tightness.

How many units of Botox are usually required for jaw slimming?

Most clients require between 25 to 50 units per side depending on muscle bulk and strength. Your doctor will determine the exact precise dosage during your in-person consultation.
