Your jaw muscles are strong, and even small differences between the two sides can change how the result looks. The treatment should always be personalized, measured, and checked.
When Dr. Ahmad Othman at Derma One Aesthetic Center does slimming that looks natural, he puts safety, symmetry, and natural facial balance first.
The goal of masseter slimming is to make the jaw look less bulky by injecting a neuromodulator into the masseter muscles to relax them. The goal is not to have a look that is obviously “changed.” The best result is a lower face that looks slimmer and more balanced, while your natural proportions and facial expressions stay the same.
Some patients who have tight jaws from using their muscles too much also ask for this treatment. It may help with comfort in some cases, but it is not a substitute for a dental checkup when there are bite problems or serious TMJ issues.
The neuromodulator is injected into certain spots in the masseter muscle after looking at how symmetrical your face is and how active your muscles are. Placement and dosage are carefully chosen to avoid making the teeth too weak and to make chewing comfortable.
Dr. Ahmad Othman at Derma One Aesthetic Center focuses on conservative dosing and precise technique because subtle control often gives the cleanest, most natural-looking result.
This is not an instant change. The muscle gradually relaxes, and over time, reduced activity can lead to a reduction in muscle bulk. Many patients notice early softening within a few weeks, with further refinement over the following weeks.
Longevity varies depending on muscle strength and lifestyle habits such as clenching or grinding. Maintenance is planned based on your response and desired level of slimming.
Most of the time, masseter slimming is a quick appointment with little downtime. Injection sites may feel a little sore or swell a little, but this usually goes away quickly. Derma One Aesthetic Center usually gives you simple aftercare instructions so you can get back to your normal activities the same day.
