The masseter muscles are the large facial muscles that operate the jaw, facilitating opening, closing and chewing. These muscles also add contours to the face shape due to their size. When the masseter muscles are thicker, the jaw and face tend to be wider or square-shaped. For those wanting to slim their face or jaw, Botox treatment for masseter reduction may be the solution. Our team at Blaine Plastic Surgery offers Botox injections for face slimming at our clinics in NYC Midtown, Staten Island and Huntington, NY.

Botox Cosmetic logoBotox injections for cosmetic treatment can relax certain muscles in the face. The most popular use is Botox treatment for frown lines and wrinkles, but Botox has other cosmetic applications. For face slimming with masseter reduction, Botox is used to target the jaw muscles. With fewer muscle contractions, the masseter muscles can become smaller over time. This can slim the lower face, and for women, it can reduce a “square” jaw or face, making it appear more oval or heart-shaped.

Face Slimming Injections

Botox treatment for masseter reduction is a quick and painless procedure. In less than a half hour, our clinicians can perform Botox injections targeting the masseter muscles in the jaw. Botox takes a few days to take effect and lasts about 3-4 months. Over several weeks, the masseter muscle will contract less and become smaller. In most cases, only one treatment is needed to obtain the results desired. If needed, a second treatment can be performed after three months to continue the face slimming effects.

If you have a wide or square jaw and want to create a slimmer face, Botox injections for masseter reduction could be a solution. To learn more, contact us at Blaine Plastic Surgery to schedule a consultation to discuss cosmetic treatments for face shaping and contouring.

On March 10, 2025 the Long Island Beauty Awards delivered a night straight out of a dream. Guests arrived in breathtaking custom gowns, gliding across the Pink Carpet for live interviews before stepping into a cocktail room transformed into an ethereal white wonderland. Twinkling branches cast a soft glow over the VIP Lounge, where Cynosure Lutronic, presented by Permanent Touch Cosmetics, showcased their AccuFit technology on a jaw-droppingly gorgeous model.

Elite sponsors—including Revision Skincare, CoolPeel by Cartessa, and Galderma—networked with beauty’s best, as industry leaders sipped cocktails and toasted to excellence. The ballroom? Pure Old Hollywood romance. Draped in elegance, it was unrecognizable as Crest Hollow Country Club. Winners, finalists, and Beauty Council members took center stage, accepting stunning crystal awards before hitting the dance floor with DJ Ivan from Drive Up DJs.

From dazzling décor to top-tier industry connections, the evening was a flawless fusion of luxury, innovation, and celebration—one that will be talked about until next year’s awards!
