Jaw Contouring
A More Refined Approach to the Lower Face
Jaw Botox is designed for selected
patients whose lower-face appearance
is influenced by an enlarged or prominent
masseter muscle.
By reducing activity in the targeted
muscle, Botox may help create a softer
and more refined appearance of the
lower face. Whether the treatment is
appropriate depends on individual
anatomy and the reason for the jaw's
appearance.

Care
Understanding the Treatment
When Muscle Activity Influences Jaw Shape
The masseter is one of the muscles involved in chewing. In some people, this muscle is relatively prominent and can contribute to a wider or more square-looking lower face.
Jaw Botox focuses on the selected muscle rather than adding volume or changing the underlying bone structure. The goal is to reduce excessive muscle activity and gradually refine the appearance of the treated area.
A medical assessment is important because not every broad or square jaw is caused by the masseter muscle. Bone structure, fat distribution and other facial characteristics can also influence facial width.
Treatment Considerations
Who May Consider Jaw Botox?
Jaw Botox is not automatically suitable for every patient seeking a slimmer lower face. The underlying cause of the facial width should be considered first.
Prominent Masseter
Patients whose lower-face width is influenced by a developed or prominent jaw muscle may be candidates for targeted treatment.
Square-Looking Jaw
When muscle development contributes to a more square lower-face appearance, reducing muscle activity may help create a softer contour.
Desire for Refinement
Patients seeking a more refined lower-face appearance without surgery may discuss Botox as one possible treatment option.
How the Treatment Is Considered
Focused on the Masseter Muscle
Jaw Botox works differently from fillers or fat-dissolving injections. It is intended to influence the activity of a selected muscle.
The treatment plan therefore needs to take the muscle's size, activity and relationship to the surrounding facial structures into account.
Assess Muscle Development
The prominence of the masseter and its contribution to facial width are considered.
Select the Treatment Area
Injection placement is planned according to the relevant anatomy and treatment objective.
Aim for Facial Balance
The objective is not simply maximum reduction, but an appropriate treatment for the patient's facial proportions.
Before Treatment
Your Consultation Matters
Before Jaw Botox, the medical team should determine whether the masseter is actually contributing to the concern and whether Botox is an appropriate option.

Post-Treatment Care
Jaw Botox Aftercare
The following points are based on Daybeau Clinic's published aftercare guidance for Square Jaw / Salivary Gland Botox.
The clinic states that patients may wash their face and apply makeup on the same day as treatment.
Avoid heavy drinking for 3–5 days after treatment because it may contribute to inflammation.
Avoid facial massage for 3–5 days after treatment according to the clinic's instructions.
Intense exercise should be avoided for approximately 3–5 days following treatment.
Avoid applying heat such as hot compresses or high-frequency treatments to the treated area for 3–5 days.
Stiffness or tingling may occur in the treated area as muscle activity reduces and should improve with time.
Jaw & Salivary Gland Botox
Daybeau Clinic's official aftercare information groups Square Jaw Botox together with Salivary Gland Botox. For salivary gland treatment specifically, the clinic notes that patients may experience dry mouth and recommends keeping the mouth moisturized. Treatment suitability and the exact treatment area should be confirmed during consultation.
