Jaw Line Contouring

As we age some muscles in the face become looser and sag but there are also muscles that tighten such as the chin and the jawline. The jaw muscle known as the master muscle is an area that can tighten and cause the jaw to take on a squarer and less feminine look. There are also individuals who were born with a squarer face shape or culturally such as in Japan have a more angular jawline.
The master muscle can also develop stronger over time with chewing and grinding of the teeth and in some cases can become uncomfortable. Combined with fat loss to the cheek pads this can cause the face to take on a more angular look that some patients may feel needs correcting
Treatment to Contour the Jawline
One of the most effective ways to contour the jawline is with small muscle relaxant injections to the area which works by reducing the activity of the muscle. As with any muscle the reduction of the use of the muscle will cause reduction in size of the muscle. The treatment is quick and relatively pain free and helps to restore a softer and more youthful appearance.
Procedure to Contour the Jawline
The muscle relaxant procedure is simple and safe due to the very fine needle used and the amount of Botulinum required. When the toxin is injected into a specific muscle it works by blocking the signal from the nerves to the muscles in the face. The sympathetic nerve endings can not tell the muscles to move and prevents them from forming lines and wrinkles that are caused by the dynamic action of these underlying muscles. The procedure takes only a few minutes with no sedation or local anaesthetic required and normal facial expressions remain unaffected.

The doctor will consult with the patient prior to the procedure to confirm questions regarding medical history and ascertain the areas of concern to be treated. The doctor will then mark these areas with a pen and inject into the master muscle . The sensation felt resembles an ant sting with some surgeons offering a topical anaesthetic cream to numb the area prior to the injection or ice to soothe the area following the procedure. The effects of the treatment will be visible three to four days after the injection and can continue for up to 4 months at which time the procedure can be repeated.
Muscle Relaxant Recovery
Botox recovery time is minimal with some patients experiencing a slight temporary redness or superficial bruising at the areas of injection depending upon individual sensitivity. Normal daily activities can resume immediately following treatment with patients recommended not to drink excessively, perform rigorous exercise or lie down flat for a period of 4-6 hours. There will be no change in sensation to the skin and cosmetic products and skincare can be used as normal
