I am Dr Kate and when it comes to my client worries about chin and jawline issues, Botox and Fillers combined work really well for these areas. Masseter Botox injections can be an incredible treatment for 2 reasons, jawline slimming and teeth grinding. The masseter muscle sits in the angle of the jaw and can be quite large and bulky, they are often described as feeling like walnuts.    For patients who ask me about having a more heart shaped face, Botox works well to shrink the masseters and can make your lower face look slimmer if that is something you want to change.

I always advise patients to talk to their dentists first if they are having problems with teeth grinding, jaw pain and headaches. However, if measures such as mouth guards have not helped you, then Botox injections in the masseter can be truly life changing. Patients tell me that jaws feel light, and this helps protect your teeth from wear and tear. I have noted that injecting Botox can also break the habit of teeth grinding, and so you don’t need to have repeated injections on a long term.
