The problem that many have is an over-developed masseter muscle, which is the chewing muscle located in the jaw. It can become enlarged by a number of factors, such as aging and chewing gum. This causes the jawline to appear wider than it is.

To address this issue, the doctor will inject the patient with Botulinum toxin to paralyze the masseter muscle. The injection is performed under local anesthesia and is very quick, requiring only a few minutes to perform. The doctor will then apply a numbing cream, which is optional, to prevent discomfort during the treatment. The doctor will then administer the appropriate amount of Botox, which varies based on the prominence of the masseter muscle and the desired results. Typically, 20 units of Botox or its equivalent Dysport(r) or Xeomin(r) are required per side.
