Who is a candidate for this procedure?

Most healthy adults with large masseter muscles are good candidates for this procedure.It is particularly popular, however, with Asian females, many of whom naturally have broad jawlines.

Sometimes people who regularly chew gum or eat tough foods also have a well-developed masseter.

Those with dental or skin infections should wait until they are healed before receiving Botox, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also wait.
What can I expect from this treatment?
If you think you might benefit from masseter Botox, book a consultation with Dr. Torgerson so that he can confirm that you are a good candidate.

Expect that you will begin initially with a series of two to three treatments over the course of 2 to 4 months. If further treatments are required, they can continue once every 6 months until the muscle has atrophied enough to give the desired shape.

You will be fully awake for the procedure, which is performed in only a few minutes in the office, and it is not painful at all for most patients. In fact, if you have the time, it can even be done on your lunch break. There is no downtime. Once you’re finished, you’ll be able to drive home, go back to work, or otherwise continue with your regular routine. After 2 or 3 weeks, you will begin to notice gradual, natural-looking results.

If you feel that your jawline is a little more square-shaped than you would like it to be, you’ll be happy to know that for most people, this is something they can change. Through the simple procedure known as masseter Botox, you can have the more delicate jawline you desire.
