If you grind your teeth, wake up with a tight jaw, or feel self-conscious about a wide or square jawline, masseter Botox may help with both at once. Dr. Melanie Espinet offers it as a concierge treatment across Lutz and the greater Tampa Bay area.
How Masseter Botox Works
The masseter is the large muscle along the jaw that powers chewing and clenching. Injecting a neuromodulator into the masseter relaxes it, which gradually slims a wide jawline for a softer facial contour, without surgery.
What It Can Help With
- Jaw slimming, for a more balanced and contoured profile
- TMJ tension and jaw discomfort from an overactive muscle
- Teeth grinding, or bruxism, and the jaw fatigue and headaches that come with it
What to Expect
Masseter treatment uses more units than fine-line areas, and results develop over a few weeks as the muscle relaxes. Like all neuromodulators, the effect is temporary, so periodic maintenance keeps the slimming and relief consistent.
Is It Right for You?
Masseter Botox suits patients who want a softer jawline, relief from clenching or TMJ tension, or both. Because dosing and placement matter, Dr. Espinet evaluates your jaw anatomy and clenching pattern before treatment, and performs every injection personally.
