MK Aesthetics

The square jaw can actually look good on some men. In fact the band of muscle below the eye also gives a somewhat manly character. But it's a different matter if it's the demure feminine jaw line that you are looking for.

Botox can weaken the masseter muscle giving a softer angle at the jaw and a less square jaw. By blocking the action of selected muscles, very much like in treating wrinkles, we can cause the eventual atrophy (loss of muscle size) in those muscles. Except here we inject the Botox into the bulk of the muscle. Patients generally notice softening of the masseter muscle at one week and softening of the jawline at around 6-8 weeks. Some researchers have noticed "permanent changes" to the jaw line in 2-3 treatments. However, it is advised that patients expect long term benefit but not permanent changes. Patients with underlying bruxism, clenching of the teeth, may never obtain permanent results due to the fact the muscle is strengthened.

Some personal habits can contribute to your enlarged jaw muscles - the masseter. Excessive chewing of hard items/food and chewing gum can lead to an enlarged masseter muscle. Bruxism, discussed later, can also enlarge the muscles for the same reason - excessive use which causes the muscle to hypertrophy.

MK Aesthetics provide a quick and relatively painless treatment (described as a pinch, sting by some patients) and with no downtime with patients popping in the office during lunchtime.
