Achieve a Softer Jawline and a Subtle Silhouette BOTOX® for Face Slimming Upper East Side

Many patients are surprised to learn that BOTOX isn’t just for wrinkles. When injected into the chewing (masseter) muscles at the back of the jaw, BOTOX can gently reduce bulk, refine facial shape, and create a slimmer profile, especially in those with naturally strong or overdeveloped jawlines.

Dr. Allison Coombs offers BOTOX for face slimming at our Upper East Side clinic. Patients come to Dr. Coombs for BOTOX treatment for its subtle transformation and excellent safety. As a board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon and ophthalmologist, she has the experience and anatomical expertise to reshape the lower face with precision and care.

What Is BOTOX for Face Slimming?

The masseter muscles are located at the angle of your jaw and are used when clenching or chewing. For some patients, these muscles are naturally strong or enlarged from grinding and tension, leading to a wider, more angular facial shape.

By carefully injecting BOTOX into these muscles, Dr. Coombs can relax and reduce their bulk over time, leading to a softer, more contoured look. This technique is non-surgical, discreet, and highly customizable.
