Masseter hypertrophy (masseter enlargement) is the enlargement of the masseter muscle, which is located on the side of the chin area and known as the strongest chewing muscle, and becomes visible even from the outside. The most common causes of this condition are clenching and grinding teeth for various reasons, as well as chewing too much gum and consuming hard meat frequently. Masseter botox applied for the treatment of this ailment is an aesthetic procedure in which the lower part of the face where the masseter muscle is located is thinned. In this application, also known as chin botox, it is aimed to treat deformities in the lower part of the face.
Adults who are not satisfied with the shape of their chin and do not have any discomfort that may pose a problem can have this procedure, but chin botox is not recommended for pregnant or lactating mothers and individuals who are not in good general health condition.
Masseter botox is effective for an average of 3-6 months. This period may vary due to various reasons.
