Understanding the Masseter Muscle and Its Impact on Facial Shape
The masseter muscles, located on the sides of the lower jaw, are responsible for moving the jaw and are among the strongest muscles in the human body. While essential for chewing, these muscles can create a wider, more masculine jaw shape when they become overdeveloped or bulky. For individuals seeking a more slender, heart-shaped face or a softer jawline, reducing the masseter muscles can help achieve a balanced, feminine aesthetic.
Dr. Sedgh’s West Hollywood clinic offers masseter reduction using both surgical and non-surgical methods, tailoring each procedure to fit your desired outcome and unique facial structure.
Surgical and Non-Surgical Options for Masseter Reduction
1. Surgical Masseter Reduction
Surgical masseter reduction is ideal for patients looking for a permanent, dramatic slimming of the jawline. This precise procedure involves reducing the masseter muscles through small incisions inside the cheeks, creating a narrower, V-shaped facial contour that complements the overall symmetry of the face. Dr. Sedgh’s meticulous surgical approach ensures results that are both effective and natural, minimizing visible scarring.
2. Botox® for Non-Surgical Face Slimming
For those seeking a non-invasive option, Dr. Sedgh offers Botox injections for masseter reduction. Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily reduces muscle activity, effectively weakening the masseter muscles over time. This leads to a gradual slimming of the jaw, providing a softer, more refined appearance. Botox injections are quick, painless, and require no downtime, making them an attractive option for patients with busy lifestyles.
Botox for masseter reduction generally takes a few minutes and starts to show results within days. Effects typically last 3-4 months, and patients can schedule additional treatments as needed to maintain their ideal facial shape.
