An aesthetic medicine procedure that corrects hypertrophy of the elevating muscles of the mandible, masseter muscles. This hypertrophy gives a square shape to the jaw and makes it appear wide. These before & after photos show examples of jaw reductions that can be achieved using Botox injections into the masseter muscles.
Jaw reduction is sometimes referred to as "feminization" of the face, but the main goal of Botox injections in the jaw is to give more harmonious shape to the face and restore its naturally oval shape.
Note: Jaw reduction using botulinum toxin injections only affects patients and patients with mandibular muscle hypertrophy.

If the width is related to an excess of fat, face lipoaspiration may be considered.

"The description of the nature of the procedure and techniques performed by the physician may result in the posting of information sheets that will precede, accompany or follow the information provided by the physician during the consultation. Information can be illustrated with diagrams. But the publication of even anonymous photos or "before and after" iconography could lead to a confusion between the obligation to inform and the obligation of results. The National Council considers, moreover, that this publication may include ad-type excesses for an unsuspecting public. In the same way the individual situation statement, under the appearance of "clinical case" is formally to be proscribed. "
