Botox for masseter reduction, also known as jaw-line tapering with Botox, or the V-line
procedure, is a procedure that I very commonly perform. Dr. Yoo is very intuitive to his
patients. He really listens, and is very conservative as well. Botox for masseter reduction is performed
mainly for two indications. The first indication is cosmetic. I'm here today to get Botox on
my masseters, my jaw-line. When patients feel the width of the lower third of their face,
or the angles of their jaw, are too wide, often-times that is caused by hypertrophy
or enlargement of the masseter muscle.
Treating that area with Botox will make that muscle
relax, and over time become smaller and slim and taper the face. I just wanted to improve
my look a little bit. The second indication for Botox for masseter reduction is functional;
for those patients that have bruxism or have issues with grinding their teeth, and straining
their jaw, it helps to relax that muscle and prevents excess grinding and excess strain.
It can be done in the exam room, and it's a quick 30-minute, in-office procedure. This
procedure (Botox for masseter reduction) was super easy. I'm glad I did it. I had great
results, I'm really happy. As you can see, Botox for masseter reduction, or jaw tapering
with Botox, is a relatively low impact, quick, safe and effective procedure for getting significant
slimming of the jaw-line. Dr. Yoo is very careful about the aesthetics of the procedures.
Looking like you lost a few pounds without having done anything. Or reducing the amount
of teeth grinding and tension in your jaw. He really listened to what I wanted. If you
have any further questions, please feel free to contact me, or my office, and I look forward
to speaking to you soon.
