What Is Jawline Slimming?

Jawline slimming focuses on reducing broad or square jaw appearance to create a softer, narrower, and more balanced lower-face contour. It’s one of the most popular facial contouring goals in Seoul, using both non-surgical and minimally invasive techniques.

1. Masseter Reduction with Botox (Most Common)

Purpose

• Relax the masseter muscles (chewing muscles)
• Reduce muscle bulk
• Slim the lower face without surgery

How It Works

• Botulinum toxin (Botox/ similar) is injected into the masseter muscles on each side.

Benefits
✔ Non-surgical and fast
✔ No incisions or sutures
✔ Subtle to noticeable slimming over sessions
✔ Minimal downtime

Considerations

• Temporary effect (needs maintenance)
• Some people may feel changes chewing hard foods
• Multiple sessions may optimize results

Typical Price Range (Seoul)

• Moderate — depends on units used

2. Jawline Slimming with Chemodenervation + Bulky Muscle Approach

Purpose

• Similar to Botox masseter reduction
• May combine with other muscle relaxants

Benefits

• Tailored weakening of over-developed jaw muscles

Considerations

• Similar profile as Botox — temporary and requires repeat

Typical Price Range

• Moderate

3. Non-Surgical Contouring (Fat Reduction)

Purpose

• Reduce fat under the jaw or jowl area
• Improve definition between jawline and neck

Approaches

• Injectable fat-dissolving agents
• Energy-based technologies (RF, ultrasound)

Benefits
✔ Addresses fat rather than muscle
✔ Better for “double-chin” or fullness

Considerations

• Results vary by method
• Often combined with muscle reduction for best contour

Typical Price Range

• Low to moderate

4. Thread Lifts for Jawline

Purpose

• Lift and tighten lower-face skin
• Sharpen jawline angle

How It Works

• Biodegradable lifting threads placed along jaw and cheek

Benefits
✔ Immediate lift effect
✔ Stimulates collagen
✔ No surgical scar

Considerations

• Moderate lift (not drastic)
• Some swelling/bruising

Typical Price Range

• Moderate to higher than injectables

5. Bio-Stimulators (Collagen Boosters)

Purpose

• Improve skin quality and firmness around jaw
• Mild contour support

Types

• Poly-L-lactic acid
• Calcium hydroxylapatite

Benefits
✔ Natural collagen increase
✔ Smoother, firmer jawline appearance

Considerations

• Subtle vs fillers
• Works best in combination

Typical Price Range

• Moderate to high depending on product

6. Surgical Options (For Structural Change)

Purpose

• Permanent slimming via bone or soft tissue modification

Examples

• Mandibular angle reduction (bone shaving)
• Genioplasty (chin adjustment to balance face)

Benefits
✔ Long-lasting structural change

Considerations

• Surgical procedure with recovery
• Higher cost than non-surgical

Typical Price Range

• High (surgical + hospital fees)

✨ Muscle-based bulk (square jaw feel)? → Botox / muscle relaxant
