Does Masseter Botox Really Slim Your Face?
It can when masseter muscle prominence is contributing to lower-face width. Clench your teeth and place your fingers near the back corners of the jaw: the firm muscle you feel is the masseter.
Reducing selected muscle activity can gradually decrease muscle prominence. It will not change facial width caused primarily by bone structure, fat or loose s
