Overview

Facial narrowing

Procedure

Before starting treatment, DR. RICK & DR. NICK will discuss the exact course of treatment with you and show you the possibilities and limitations in your individual case.

The actual treatment begins with the injection of botulinum toxin into the jaw region. By injecting Botox ® into the masseter muscle, also known as the masseter muscle, the muscle can be weakened, making the face appear narrower and smaller.

It is important to note that the masseter muscle is only one of several chewing muscles and therefore does not affect chewing.

On the contrary, an overly pronounced masseter muscle is often associated with teeth grinding or clenching, which can lead to problems such as enamel damage, receding gums and even problems in the temporomandibular joint.

Therefore, facial slimming not only has aesthetic effects, but also health benefits. A facial narrowing of the jawline can also often lead to a more feminine appearance of the face.

Durability

The durability of a facial narrowing with Botox® depends on various factors, such as the amount of Botox®injected, the individual metabolism of the patient and the areas of the face being treated. As a rule, the results of a facial reduction with Botox last ® for about 4 months to 1 year.

After this period, it may be necessary to refresh the treatment to maintain the desired effect. Repeating the treatment regularly can help the results last longer and keep the face looking slimmer and more defined for longer.

Costs

The prices are calculated according to the GOÄ and are to be understood as guide prices: At DR. RICK & DR. NICK, you can pay for a facial reduction with Botox® expect a price of approx. 500.00 €. All further details will be discussed in detail at a personal appointment.

Pain

Most patients perceive a facial reduction with Botox® as relatively uncomplicated. A brief stinging or burning sensation may occur during the injection, but the procedure is usually quick and painless.

Secondly, you should not have any cosmetic treatment on your face before the treatment, especially peelings, laser treatments or microdermabrasion, in order to not irritate the skin before the Botox® unnecessarily.

FAQ

1.

What are the advantages of a facial narrowing with Botox®?

In addition to the obvious aesthetic effect of facial slimming, Botox® works here also as part of pain therapy. If you suffer from teeth grinding, the injection of Botox ® reduces grinding or clenching and thus protects the enamel, the gums and the jaw joint.

During facial narrowing, the masseter (chewing muscle) is botoxed, which leads to it being temporarily paralyzed. Like any muscle that is not used for a longer period of time, it breaks down and becomes significantly smaller, which leads to both a reduction in teeth grinding and a visual narrowing of the face.

2.

For whom is facial narrowing useful?

Patients with facial narrowing usually have the following complaints:

  • A wide face shape that they find unflattering
  • A weakly defined jawline or a wide jaw that makes your face look wider
  • A pronounced chewing muscle and thus a strongly pronounced jaw area

3.

What does the result of a facial narrowing depend on?

Facial narrowing can improve the appearance of the face by changing the shape and proportions of the face. It should be noted that the result depends on various factors – for example, the individual anatomy of the face, the age and the state of health of the patient.
