Masseter Muscle Reduction Options
Masseter muscle reduction is a transformative procedure designed to slim the jawline, creating a softer, more tapered, and feminine facial appearance. This treatment is ideal for individuals with masseter hypertrophy (enlarged jaw muscles) due to genetics, teeth grinding, or excessive chewing habits. Dr. Huynh offers both non-surgical and surgical options to meet your aesthetic goals.
Non-Surgical Jaw Reduction
Using neuromodulators such as Botox®, Dysport, or Jeuveau, Dr. Huynh strategically injects the masseter muscle to relax and shrink it over time. This minimally invasive procedure takes just 5-10 minutes, requires no downtime, and results become visible within 2-8 weeks. While effects typically last 3-4 months, repeated treatments may lead to longer-lasting results. This option is perfect for those seeking a quick, non-invasive solution.
Surgical Masseter Reduction
For patients seeking a permanent solution, surgical masseter reduction involves removing a portion of the masseter muscle through small incisions inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars. This procedure is typically performed under moderate IV sedation or general anesthesia, with a recovery period of about 7 to 10 days to resume a regular diet. Dr. Huynh’s expertise ensures a balanced, natural outcome that preserves jaw function while enhancing facial harmony.
