Refine your facial contours and achieve a slimmer jawline with our masseter reduction treatments. Expertly performed by Dr. Linda Fiumara, this procedure offers a sophisticated approach to enhancing your natural elegance and balance.
What is it?
Masseter reduction involves the use of Botox to relax the masseter muscles, which are responsible for jaw clenching and grinding. This non-surgical treatment helps reduce the size of the jaw muscles, resulting in a softer, more contoured facial appearance.

Masseters Information
During the procedure, Botox is precisely injected into the masseter muscles by Dr. Fiumara. This process helps to reduce muscle activity, leading to a gradual decrease in muscle size. The treatment is customised to ensure balanced and harmonious results.
Treatment length
The masseter reduction treatment is quick, usually taking about 15 to 30 minutes. This efficient procedure fits conveniently into busy schedules, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately.
Recovery time
Recovery is minimal with masseter reduction. Most patients experience little to no downtime and can resume normal activities right after the treatment. Mild swelling or tenderness at the injection sites may occur but usually subsides within a few days.
How painful is it?
The discomfort associated with masseter reduction is minimal. Dr. Fiumara uses ultra-fine needles and precise techniques to ensure a comfortable experience. Patients might feel a slight pinch during the injections, but this sensation is brief.
How long will it last?
The effects of masseter reduction typically last between 4 to 6 months. With regular maintenance sessions, you can enjoy sustained results and a continually refined jawline.
