What is
Jawline Slimming?
A masseter muscle is a pair of bulky chewing muscles located on each side of your jaw angle. They are essential for chewing solid food. Enlarged masseter muscles can result from bruxism (tooth grinding and jaw clenching), an often unconscious consequence of stress and anxiety. Genetics may also contribute to a prominent jawline, an inevitability regardless of lifestyle choices.
Jawline slimming is a non-surgical process that contours the jawline by reducing the size of the masseter muscles, creating a softer, less muscular appearance. Jawline slimming, alternatively referred to as “masseter reduction,” is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that involves injecting the neurotoxin botulinum type A into the masseter muscles to create a thinner, more feminine jawline. Jawline slimming works by relieving muscle tension, resulting in less rigidity and a more friendly, attractive facial expression.

FAQs About Jawline Slimming
Who is a good candidate for jawline slimming treatment?
Ideal candidates for jawline slimming treatment are people with masseter muscle problems since it targets the muscles on both sides of the jaw. Patients whose masseter muscles have been built up through night grinding or excessive chewing are particularly well suited to this injection treatment. This procedure relaxes the problematic jaw muscles, which means it only works on wide jaws caused by enlarged facial muscles and not by a large jaw bone.
Jaw reduction treatment is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. At the same time, if you are allergic to cow’s milk protein or have any significant allergies, neuromuscular disorders, severe or keloidal scarring, or body dysmorphic disorder, this procedure may not be appropriate for you.
It’s best to schedule an initial consultation with Ellen Stirling Dental if you’re interested in non-surgical jawline slimming. Call us at (08) 6192 1036 to discuss your facial aesthetic goals and assess if you are an ideal candidate for jaw slimming injections.
Will jawline slimming affect my smile?
Not usually. Jawline or smile asymmetry may occur as a side effect of jawline slimming injections. It is generally temporary and will subside quickly.
What should I expect during a jawline slimming treatment?
You can expect the following during the actual procedure, which usually lasts 15 minutes:
- First, we will clean your skin to prevent infection. We may use topical anaesthesia to numb the area during the procedure.
- The toxin will then be injected into your masseter muscle with a very thin needle.
- It may be necessary to repeat the procedure on the other side. The number of syringes we will use depends on your treatment needs.
What are the potential side effects of jawline slimming?
In general, masseter reduction is considered safe. However, there is a small risk that the procedure could lead to side effects such as:
- Swelling or pain at the injection site
- Asymmetrical smile
- Bruising around the injection area
- Excessive salivation
- Flu-like symptoms
- Headache
What is the average recovery associated with jawline slimming?
There is no recovery period required for jawline slimming. You can get back to your regular daily activities immediately.
What is the aftercare following jawline slimming treatments?
You must avoid rubbing or applying pressure to the treated area for the next 24–48 hours. It is also recommended that you avoid strenuous activity for the next 24 hours, even though you can resume normal activities right away. The actions mentioned above may spread the toxin to other parts of your face.
How much do jawline slimming treatments cost?
The cost of a jaw slimming injection at Ellen Stirling Dental is around $650. Prices can be reduced when combined with other treatments.
