One of the important elements of female facial beauty is that the chin contour located in the lower face area is sharp and V-shaped. While the jawline on a man's face is square and muscular, a triangular or V-shaped jawline is found more attractive in women. The hidden factor that determines this ratio is actually the mass of the masseter muscle, which is a chewing muscle. While hypertrophy of this muscle gives a masculine (square-shaped) expression to the lower face, a thin masseter muscle gives the face a triangular and more feminine appearance. Since the masseter muscle is genetically hypertrophied, especially in Asian women, reducing the masseter muscle in the process of reshaping the chin contour is one of the frequently performed cosmetic procedures in Asian countries. However, recently, thinning of the masseter muscle has become one of the important aesthetic demands of thick-faced women, especially in Hollywood and in the Western world.
Application
Botox injection into the masseter is aesthetically pleasing. In addition to its effect, it can also be widely applied to patients who clench their teeth during night sleep, which is common in society. Masseter botox can be applied in one or two sessions in a total of 10-15 minutes. The thinning of the face begins after 7 days and its effect reaches its maximum within 4-6 weeks. The resulting effect lasts for 6-8 months. Repeated injections make the slimming effect permanent over time.
