What is Masseter Disorder?
Masseter muscle enlargement creates a square, masculine jawline appearance that some people find too heavy or unbalanced for their face.
This happens through muscle hypertrophy: when you clench, grind your teeth (bruxism), or chew excessively, your masseter muscles work constantly and grow larger, just like any repeatedly exercised muscle. Over time, this creates visible bulk along your lower jaw.
Beyond aesthetics, enlarged masseters often cause functional problems: TMJ pain, tension headaches, jaw fatigue, and tooth damage from excessive grinding forces.

Botox doesn't just "relax" masseter muscles. It causes temporary denervation atrophy, which shrinks the muscle over weeks.
If you're grinding through night guards, waking with jaw pain, or frustrated with a square jawline you can't fix through weight loss, masseter Botox addresses both.

Masseter Botox can sometimes lead to facial asymmetry if one side of the jaw muscle relaxes more than the other, making your face appear uneven.
While this can be concerning, it is often correctable with follow-up treatments or adjustments.
