The V-Shape Effect: Non-Surgical Face Slimming
Masseter Botox is a botulinum toxin injection applied to the chewing muscles (masseter) at the jaw corners. This procedure reduces muscle volume, resulting in a slimmer lower face and more V-shaped appearance.
Strong masseter muscles can be genetically larger or may enlarge over time due to teeth grinding habits. This gives the face a "square" or "wide" appearance. Masseter Botox relaxes these muscles, providing natural slimming without surgery.
💡 The Istanbul Protocol
Dr. Hamza Gemici's "Istanbul Protocol" involves detailed jaw anatomy analysis to determine personalized dosage and injection points for each patient. This approach is why Turkish clinics are preferred worldwide for jawline contouring.
