If you have ever wondered how to slim your face without surgery, you’ve found the right place. If your face is wide at the bottom or squarer than you’d like, you may have enlarged masseter muscles or parotid glands. This can add fullness to your lower face and keep your cheekbones from really “popping.” If you’re a woman, you may be looking for how to get a more feminine jawline without surgery. At Mabrie Facial Institute in San Francisco, we create a more V-shaped face using BOTOX or another neuromodulator to shrink the masseters or, in some cases, the parotid glands.

What Causes a Wide Jaw?
Genetics/Bone Structure
You may have been born with an angular jaw and a square face shape, which we typically associate with masculinity. Your chin shape—whether broad, small, or receded— may also be preventing you from having a V-shaped jawline.
Overdeveloped Masseter Muscles

The masseters are two large muscles on the side of the face that are used for chewing. These muscles can become enlarged due to overuse by excessively chewing gum or involuntary clenching and grinding your teeth during sleep. This can be a problem for women who want to have a more feminine face shape.
Enlarged Parotid Glands
The parotid glands are two large glands on the sides of the face that help create saliva. Some individuals’ parotid glands may become enlarged over time and create a diamond face appearance on frontal view. Some individuals that have Sjogren’s have been found to have large parotid glands.
Aging
With time, fat breaks down, collagen production slows, and facial ligaments lose their elasticity. This results in volume loss and tissue descent (sagging). As the face ages, a once oval or heart-shaped face may become more round as jowls form and volume shifts to the lower cheek, jaw, and neck. This is best addressed by our Marionette Lines/Jowling package.
Consultation and Planning for Your Masseter BOTOX
Your First Visit
When you come in for your consultation at our stunning San Francisco office, you’ll meet right away with your Injector. They will talk with you to discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations and answer any questions you might have. Next, we take professional-level photographs of your jawline from all angles. We refer to these photos at every visit to monitor your progress. The photos help us develop a treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and goals.
Face slimming BOTOX for the masseter and jaw is a relatively quick treatment, but we ask that you plan to spend approximately 90 minutes in the office for your first visit. This includes consultation, prep, treatment, pre- and post-treatment photography, aftercare education, and scheduling your next appointment. The injections themselves only take a few minutes and cause minimal discomfort.
Your Face Slimming Procedure
We begin by mapping the outline borders of your masseter muscles, parotid glands, and injection safety zones and determining the appropriate neuromodulator dosage for you. We then make a series of targeted injections (about 6 injections per side) using a small syringe, being careful not to inject the smile muscles.
Preparing for Your Procedure
For the best experience, follow these tips in advance of your appointment:
- A few days before your appointment, restrict blood thinners, such as anti-inflammatories, fish oil, and alcohol. Limiting these will reduce your risk of bruising from BOTOX injections.
- DO NOT discontinue prescribed, medically necessary medications.
- Eat and drink a normal breakfast or lunch prior to your appointment; low blood sugar can make patients lightheaded during treatment.
Recovery & Aftercare
With little-to-no downtime, you can return to normal activities after treatment. Discomfort during treatment is minimal. Immediately after treatment, you may experience tenderness, redness, and possibly bruising at the treatment site. Side effects can be treated with over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol or Aleve. Ice can also enhance comfort and reduce swelling. These symptoms are mild and typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours.
Swelling
- While swelling from BOTOX is typically minimal, it peaks the day after treatment
- This may cause temporary asymmetry, lumps, or bumps
Bruising
- Bruising may occur but should resolve within a few days
Redness & Discomfort
- Often minimal and lasting just a few days
- Your treated areas may be tender to the touch
Downtime
- No downtime required
- May return to work immediately after treatment
- May resume normal exercise the next day
