JAW SLIMMING PROCEDURE IN STATEN ISLAND NY
Many people feel that their jaw is too large and heavy and wish that their face is heart-shaped rather than square or round-shaped. Some people also feel that their jaw is clenched even when they are relaxed. It can give a more masculine and aggressive appearance.
A large or square jaw can be due to an over developed masseter muscle which adds bulk to the jaw. These muscles have been over-developed due to excessive chewing or grinding the teeth especially at night.
The jawline can be slimmed by injecting Botox into the masseter muscle which weakens the muscle. As the muscles relax, the square heavy jawline softens. This results is a softer, friendlier appearance.

FAQ
-
WHAT IS JAW LINE CONTOURING?
Jaw Line Reshaping or Contouring with Muscle Relaxing Injections is a procedure designed to soften the facial contour of the jaw linegiving the face a more youthful and feminine appearance. Men have a squarer jawline while young women have a triangular jawline. The softening and reshaping of the face can also reduce headaches and teeth grinding so patients don’t have to wear a mouthguard at night.
As we age, the muscles in the face become stronger and more developed; just like the muscles in your body when training at the gym. The jaw line is an area that is prone to over-development as we continue to age. Combine this with fat loss in the cheek area and your face can lose its angular shape and become more “square” like.
-
HOW LONG IS THE TREATMENT?
The Jaw Line Contouring procedure is a very simple, quick and easy procedure. Ice is used to numb the area if needed, and then tiny Muscle Relaxant Injections are entered into the muscle site of the jaw line (known as masseters). You can continue your normal activities straight away.
-
HOW LONG DOES BOTOX LASTS?
The effects of the treatment last about three to four months. Clinical studies have indicated that treatments last longer over time, meaning you should require fewer injections in the future. However, this varies from patient to patient.
-
IS JAW SLIMMING PROCEDURE SAFE?
Jaw Line Reshaping with Muscle Relaxing Injections are safe when administered by an experienced medical professional. They have been used for over 25 years in both cosmetic and therapeutic treatments without any reported long-term issues.

-
CAN BOTOX TREAT TEETH GRINDING?
Muscle Relaxant Injections have been shown to reduce teeth grinding activity where other techniques have failed. Teeth grinding can lead to headaches, facial pain and enlarged masseter muscles. A small amount of Muscle Relaxant Injections is all that is required to reduce activity.
