Quick answer · What is Facial Slimming Botox?
Facial Slimming Botox is a botulinum toxin injection, mainly into the masseter muscles at the jaw angle, used to narrow a broad lower face. Relaxing the muscle reduces its activity, so it gradually shrinks and the face takes on a softer, more tapered V-line shape. A session takes about 10–15 minutes with no downtime. Slimming appears over 2–8 weeks and typically lasts 4–6 months.

How it works
Reducing muscle bulk to rebalance the face
A wide lower face is often caused by strong masseter muscles rather than bone. Botulinum toxin reduces their contraction, and with less use the muscles gradually lose bulk. As the outer jaw softens, the eye moves upwards to the cheekbones, giving a more balanced shape. Your doctor checks muscle, fat and bone first, as fat or bone width may need a different approach.
-
Face shape analysis
Your doctor assesses muscle thickness, fat and bone structure, and checks left-right symmetry.
-
Targeted injections
Botulinum toxin is placed into the bulkiest part of each muscle, with doses adjusted to your face.
-
Gradual contour change
The face slowly narrows over four to eight weeks, and a review checks symmetry.
Before & after

FAQ
Facial Slimming Botox questions we hear every day
Does facial slimming Botox hurt?
Most patients feel a few quick pricks. Numbing cream is available, and the injections take only a few minutes.
How is this different from jaw Botox?
Both mainly treat the masseter. This page covers the overall face-shape goal, and your doctor may combine it with other options; see our jaw Botox page for the masseter treatment itself.
When will my face look slimmer?
Changes usually start to show from two to four weeks and are clearest at six to eight weeks, as the muscle gradually reduces in size.
How long do results last?
Results typically last four to six months. Regular sessions can help keep the muscle smaller over time.
What if my face is wide from fat, not muscle?
Botox only slims muscle. For fullness from fat, your doctor may suggest fat-dissolving injections or a lifting device instead.
How much does facial slimming Botox cost in Myeongdong?
Price depends on the area and the number of units needed. The same price list applies to every nationality and is given to you in writing before treatment. See our filler and botox price list.
