Quick answer

What Is Jaw Botox?

Jaw Botox, also called masseter Botox or square jaw Botox, is botulinum toxin injected into the masseter – the thick chewing muscle at the angle of the jaw. As the muscle relaxes and becomes less bulky, the lower face looks narrower and softer.

This is one of the most popular contouring treatments in Korea, where a softer V-shaped jaw line is often preferred. Unlike wrinkle Botox, the change is in shape rather than lines, so it builds slowly over several weeks as the muscle reduces in size.

Jaw Botox only works when width comes from muscle. If fullness is from fat or loose skin, the doctor may suggest a contour injection or lifting instead. Some people also find clenching feels easier, but this is not a replacement for dental care if you grind your teeth.

Is it right for you?

Who Is Jaw Botox Right For?

Adults with a wide or square lower face caused by strong masseter muscles – often people who clench or chew a lot.

Jaw Botox is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with infection in the area, or with neuromuscular disorders. If your face is already thin or you have early jowling, the doctor may use a lower dose, because over-relaxing the muscle can make the lower cheeks look hollow.

  • A square or wide jaw angle when you clench
  • Firm, bulky muscles you can feel at the jaw angle
  • Habitual clenching or heavy gum chewing
  • Wanting a softer, more oval face shape
  • Preferring a non-surgical option with no downtime

FAQ

Jaw Botox in Seoul – Frequently Asked Questions

How much is jaw Botox in Gangnam, Seoul?

At Doje Clinic, the cost of Jaw Botox depends on the areas treated and the bespoke plan designed at your 1:1 consultation with Dr. Byun Je-ik, so prices are confirmed after the doctor's assessment. Message us on WhatsApp for an initial guide.

How long until I see jaw Botox results?

Jaw Botox results build slowly. Most people notice slimming after 2 to 4 weeks, with the fullest effect around 6 to 8 weeks as the masseter muscle reduces in size.

How long does jaw Botox last?

Jaw Botox typically lasts 3 to 6 months. With repeated sessions, some people find the muscle stays smaller for longer, so treatments can be spaced further apart.

Does jaw Botox affect chewing?

Chewing tough foods may feel weaker for the first few weeks. Normal eating and speaking are not affected, and the tired feeling usually settles as you adapt.

Can jaw Botox make my face sag?

In people with thin faces or loose skin, high doses repeated often can make the lower cheeks look hollow. The doctor checks your skin and fat before choosing the dose to reduce this risk.

Does jaw Botox help with teeth grinding?

Relaxing the masseter may reduce clenching force, and some people find it helps with jaw tension. It is not a cure for bruxism, so a dentist should still assess teeth grinding.

Can I get jaw Botox on a short trip to Korea?

Yes. The injection takes 10–15 minutes with no downtime. Results appear after you return home, and you can send progress photos on WhatsApp.

Do the doctors speak English?

Yes. English consultations are available at Doje Clinic, and you can book on WhatsApp at +82 10-6535-2110. LINE & KakaoTalk booking is also offered.
