Botulinum toxin, when injected into the masseter muscles (the muscles along the jawline), temporarily relaxes them. This relaxation reduces muscle size and bulk over time, leading to a more contoured, slimmer appearance of the jawline.

Good candidates for botulinum toxin jawline slimming include individuals with:

- A desire for a more contoured jawline

- Prominent masseter muscles due to genetics or teeth grinding

- Good overall health

- Realistic expectations about the results

Botulinum toxin jawline slimming is a non-surgical procedure using injections to relax jaw muscles, resulting in a slimmer appearance. Surgical options typically involve cutting and removing part of the jawbone, which is more invasive, has longer recovery times, and carries higher risks.

The number of sessions needed for noticeable jawline slimming with Botulinum Toxin can vary:

- Typically, initial results are seen after 1 session.

- Optimal results often require 2-3 sessions.

- Sessions are usually spaced 3-4 months apart.

Individual results can vary based on the specific treatment plan and muscle response.

Potential risks of botulinum toxin for jawline slimming include:

- Asymmetry in facial features

- Swelling or bruising at the injection site

- Temporary muscle weakness

- Difficulty chewing or speaking

- Allergic reactions

- Nerve damage (rare)
