Refined Jawline, Balanced Muscle Tension

Masseter botox is a non-surgical aesthetic and functional procedure applied to the masseter muscle, located on the side of the jaw and responsible for chewing movements. This method provides relief for conditions where the muscle is overactive, such as teeth grinding (bruxism), and helps create a more refined and balanced appearance of the lower face.

At Dr. Mustafa Eray Erkek’s clinic in Kartal, masseter botox applications reduce excessive tension in the jaw muscles while maintaining a natural facial expression, creating a softer and more balanced look.

How is Masseter Botox Performed?

The procedure typically lasts 10–15 minutes and does not require any surgical intervention. A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the area before the procedure.

Dr. Mustafa Eray Erkek evaluates the individual’s jaw muscle strength, facial symmetry, and teeth grinding habits to determine the injection points based on personal needs.

After the procedure, the patient can return to daily activities. Occasionally, there may be mild redness or tenderness at the injection site, but these effects usually subside within a few hours.

When Is It Effective?

  • Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Reduces the habit of grinding teeth during sleep or under stress, alleviating jaw muscle tension.
  • Jawline Aesthetics: Reduces facial width due to overactive muscles, resulting in a more oval and refined appearance of the lower face.
  • Muscle Pain and Headaches: Helps relieve pain caused by excessive clenching of the jaw muscles.
  • Prevention of Tooth Erosion: Reduces mechanical pressure from teeth grinding, helping protect the tooth enamel.

Masseter botox is a safe and effective solution for both aesthetic appearance and functional relief.

Achieving a Natural and Balanced Facial Look with Masseter Botox

Smoothing a broad jawline, relieving tension from teeth grinding, and achieving a more delicate facial form are all possible with masseter botox. Dr. Mustafa Eray Erkek’s clinic in Kartal provides personalized dosing and anatomical analysis to deliver a modern solution that preserves natural aesthetics.

When Do the Effects Appear?

The effects of Botox are generally felt within 3–7 days, with full results visible within 10–14 days. The average duration of effectiveness is 4–6 months. With regular applications, the muscle relaxation habit increases, leading to longer-lasting results.

Dr. Mustafa Eray Erkek uses FDA-approved botulinum toxin products in his procedures, ensuring both safety and predictable outcomes.

Post-Procedure Care Instructions

  • Avoid intense physical activities, sauna, steam baths, and hot showers for the first 24 hours.
  • Do not massage or apply pressure to the treatment area.
  • Keep the head in an upright position for the first few hours and avoid excessive facial expressions.

These precautions help the Botox settle properly into the muscle and enhance the longevity of the results.
