The masseter muscle is one of the powerful chewing muscles of the facial area. In patients where the masseter muscle is overactive, swelling is evident in the area of the lower jaw corner where the masseter muscle is located, and pain occurs in the jaw joint as a result of excessive tightening of the lower and upper jaw. Masseter botox is when the botox material is applied in safe dose ranges to the muscle located in the corner of the jaw, called the masseter. After the procedure, positive effects are observed both in functional (teeth clenching – alleviation of jaw pain) and aesthetic terms (thinning of the face, shrinkage of the jaw muscles). Applications should only be performed by physicians in the relevant branches, otherwise such injections may cause serious problems.

The procedure can be performed even under clinic conditions and the effect lasts for an average of 4-6 months. You can return to daily life immediately after the procedure.

Maximum effect is achieved after approximately 2 weeks.

After this procedure, no decrease in chewing functions is observed because there are other chewing muscles that perform the chewing function.
