Masseter Botox &
Jawline Contouring
Reduce jaw muscle bulk, slim your jawline, and relieve TMJ tension — all in one treatment. Masseter Botox by a facial anatomy expert in Newport Beach.
Slimmer Jawline.
Less Pain.
The masseter is the primary muscle of chewing — and in patients who clench or grind, it becomes significantly overdeveloped. This hypertrophy creates a wide, square jawline appearance and generates the excessive forces that drive TMJ pain, headaches, and tooth damage.
Masseter Botox serves dual purposes: it relaxes the overactive muscle to provide TMJ and bruxism relief, and as the muscle gradually reduces in size, it produces a more contoured, slim jawline. For many patients, both benefits are equally valuable.
Dr. Vartanian’s approach to masseter Botox is informed by decades of understanding jaw mechanics — not just aesthetics. He determines the precise injection sites and dosage based on your muscle anatomy, bite function, and treatment goals. This ensures that jaw function is preserved while achieving optimal therapeutic and aesthetic results.
Because the masseter is a deep, powerful muscle, proper injection technique matters enormously. Dr. Vartanian’s MAGD credentials and extensive experience with facial anatomy deliver the precision that this treatment demands.
