What Botox for Square Jaw Is

Botox for a square jaw is a non-surgical treatment that uses botulinum toxin injections to relax the masseter muscles — the large chewing muscles at the back of the jawline.
When these muscles are over-active or enlarged, they can give the lower face a wide or square appearance. Reducing the muscle activity can make the jawline appear softer, slimmer, and more tapered.

How It Works

• Targeted injections: Botox is injected into specific points in the masseter muscle on each side of the jaw.
• Muscle relaxation: The toxin reduces the strength and bulk of the masseter muscle over time.
• Contoured result: As the muscle gradually shrinks with repeated treatments, the lower face looks narrower and more refined.

It’s a temporary, gradual change rather than an instant surgical reshape.

What to Expect

 Consultation

Before treatment, you should get:

• Assessment of your jawline and muscle activity
• Discussion of goals and realistic expectations
• Explanation of how many units will be used
• Time to ask questions

 The Procedure

• Quick: Often 10–20 minutes
• Comfortable: Small injections in the masseter muscle
• Minimal downtime: Most people resume daily activities right away

 Results & Timeline

• Initial feel: The muscle feels softer in a few days
• Visible change: Gradual contouring over a few weeks
• Final effect: Around 6–8 weeks
• Duration: Often 3–6 months, depending on muscle strength and dosing

Repeat treatments help maintain the slimmer jaw appearance.

Benefits

✔ Softens a wide or square lower face
✔ Non-surgical and minimally invasive
✔ Quick procedure with minimal disruption to daily life
✔ Natural-looking results with muscle reduction, not bone change

Who It’s Best For

This treatment is ideal if you:

• Have a wide jawline due to prominent masseter muscles
• Want a non-surgical, gradual slimming of the lower face
• Are okay with maintenance treatments every few months
• Prefer gentle, natural-looking contouring over invasive surgery

It’s not intended for jaw shape changes caused by bone structure — bone-related square jaws typically need surgical reshaping.

Aftercare Tips

To support good results:

✅ Avoid touching or pressing the treated area for about 24 hours
✅ Stay upright for a few hours after injections
✅ Avoid intense exercise or heat (like saunas) on the day of treatment
✅ Keep chewing activity light for a day or two
