Masseter Botox (Chin Botox)

When the masseter muscle, which is located on the side of the jaw area and is known as the strongest chewing muscle, grows and becomes so prominent that it is visible even from the outside, it is called masseter hypertrophy (masseter growth). The most common causes of this condition are teeth clenching and grinding for various reasons, as well as chewing too much gum and frequently consuming hard meat. Masseter botox, which is applied for the treatment of this discomfort, is an aesthetic procedure in which the lower part of the face where the masseter muscle is located is thinned. In this application, also known as chin botox, it is aimed to treat the deformities in the lower part of the face.

Especially during periods of intense stress, people may clench their teeth without realizing it. The habit of clenching teeth leads to growth in the facial and chewing muscles. This situation is also very inconvenient in terms of the aesthetic appearance of the face, because the appearance of the face is distorted. Thanks to the chin botox application developed as a remedy for this situation, the square face shape, which provides a more masculine and firm appearance, is reduced. Thus, a more proportional face shape is ensured.  Overgrowth of the masseter muscle can cause discomfort both aesthetically and physically. Therefore, this procedure, also known as tooth clenching botox, is sometimes applied with the goal of both shape and functional treatment.
