Facial Slimming

Facial Slimming/Masseteric Hypertrophy


Facial Slimming

Sometimes the jaw can become wider with age because the masseter muscles responsible for closing the jaw become enlarged, especially in people who clench and grind their teeth. The face shape becomes squarer, and treatment may be sought to reduce the size of these muscles for aesthetic reasons. Treatment involves injecting botulinum toxin into each masseter muscle.


NB: Due to the dental origin or aetiology, this treatment should only be carried out by a dental surgeon specialising in this field.

“I was referred by my dentist as I had a very square face and suffered from aching jaw muscles, due to clenching and grinding. My face looks much more feminine now and the jaw tension has completely gone. Dr Ruth is amazing at what she does!”

“I went to Dr Ruth to see if she could give me more defined cheeks. She told me that the problem was my enlarged jaw muscles, not my cheeks. After slimming down my jaw muscles I gained a beautiful cheek definition. The results were unbelievable!””
