Botox Jaw Reduction (Masseter Botox) in NYC and Tappan

THIS MONTH SPECIAL: $450 for 30 units — Botox jaw reduction

Botox jaw reduction at Dermacare Medical in Manhattan and Tappan is performed by Dr. Yuriy Yagudin, customized to the individual patient.

How Masseter Botox Slims the Jaw

Masseter Botox temporarily reduces activity in the chewing muscles at the angles of the jaw. In selected patients, an enlarged masseter contributes to a broad or square lower face. As the treated muscle becomes smaller over time, the lower face may appear slimmer. Jaw slimming is an off-label use of Botox in the United States.

Individualized Evaluation

Dr. Yagudin assesses the masseters at rest and while clenching, facial symmetry and the contribution of bone, fat and skin laxity to jaw shape. Botox targets muscle activity; it does not narrow the jawbone or remove excess fat.

What to Expect

After examination and treatment planning, small injections are placed into selected areas of the masseter muscles. Brief injection discomfort, tenderness or bruising can occur. Dose and placement are individualized for each side.

Results & Recovery

Many patients resume routine activities promptly, although bruising or tenderness may be visible. Muscle relaxation precedes the gradual contour change. Follow the individual aftercare instructions and report unexpected chewing difficulty or smile changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments are needed?

The number varies according to the condition, treatment selected and individual response.

Is there downtime?

Downtime varies by procedure. Your expected recovery is reviewed before treatment.

How do I know if I am a candidate?

An in-person evaluation is the best way to confirm the diagnosis or treatment target and discuss appropriate options.

When will I see jaw-slimming results?

Muscle relaxation can begin before a visible contour change. Slimming generally develops over several weeks as the treated masseter muscle becomes smaller. Follow-up timing depends on the individual treatment plan.

How long does masseter Botox last?

The effect is temporary and commonly lasts several months. Dose, muscle size, activity and previous treatment affect duration; repeated treatment may be needed to maintain results.

Can Botox slim every square jaw?

No. It targets the masseter muscle, not jawbone width or excess fat. Examination helps identify whether muscle enlargement contributes to your facial shape.

What are the main risks?

Temporary chewing weakness, bruising, smile asymmetry, unwanted contour changes and muscle bulging can occur. Jaw slimming with Botox is an off-label use in the United States. Discuss benefits, alternatives and product-specific risks before treatment.

Planning Masseter Botox

What does the $450 special cover?

The current offer is $450 for 30 units. The appropriate total dose depends on muscle size, symmetry, previous treatment and your goals. Confirm how the units will be distributed between the two sides and the complete treatment quote before injections.

What if I have jaw pain, clicking or locking?

These symptoms can have causes beyond an enlarged masseter muscle. Tell Dr. Yagudin about dental treatment, night guards, clenching and jaw symptoms. Dental or temporomandibular joint evaluation may also be appropriate; cosmetic jaw slimming does not replace that assessment.

How is progress assessed?

Discuss the timing of follow-up and compare photographs taken under similar lighting and positioning. Muscle relaxation and visible slimming occur on different timelines. Additional treatment should follow assessment of your response rather than an automatic schedule.
