  • Slim Jaw Injection

Understanding Broad or Square Jaws

A square or prominent lower jaw is often seen as a masculine facial feature. While it may be considered desirable by some men, women who have a broader jawline may prefer a softer, more tapered look.

A broad jawline can be caused by:

  • Genetics – a naturally wide jaw structure present from birth.
  • Developmental factors – such as teeth clenching, chewing gum frequently, or bruxism (teeth grinding), which can increase the size of the chewing muscles (masseter), giving the jaw a more square or bulky appearance.

Non-Surgical Slim Jaw Treatment

Non-surgical slim jaw treatments target the masseter muscles to reduce their size, resulting in a softer and more balanced facial appearance.

Key Features:

  • Minimally invasive with no need for surgery.
  • Typically involves less discomfort and minimal downtime.
  • Most people are able to drive themselves home shortly after the procedure.
  • Temporary results that require repeat treatments to maintain the effect.

What to Expect

  • The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes.
  • Results gradually develop over several weeks as the masseter muscles begin to relax and reduce in size.
  • Regular follow-up sessions may be recommended to sustain results.

Your practitioner will assess your needs and create a personalised treatment plan based on your facial anatomy and preferences.

Possible Risks and Side Effects

As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications. These may include:

  • Temporary swelling or bruising at the treatment site
  • Redness or mild tenderness
  • Temporary weakness of nearby muscles, which can affect lip movement (uncommon and usually resolves naturally)
  • Asymmetry if the treatment effect is uneven

Most side effects are temporary and mild, typically resolving within a few days to weeks. Your practitioner will discuss all risks and provide aftercare instructions to support a safe recovery.

Important Considerations

  • Results vary between individuals, and no outcome can be guaranteed.
  • Non-surgical slim jaw treatments are temporary and do not stop the natural effects of aging or changes in muscle activity.
  • A thorough consultation is essential to determine suitability and ensure realistic expectations.
