The bone structure, over-development of masseter (jaw) muscles or a combination of both can contribute to bulky or square jaw formation.

The treatment of square jaws, due to bulky masseter muscles, involves a simple, non-invasive jaw reduction injection treatment with zero downtime. On the contrary, square jaws brought on by the bone structure typically necessitate invasive jaw reduction surgery, accompanied by a lengthy recovery period.

Fortunately, for most Asians, bulky jaws are usually caused by a genetic predisposition to bulky masseters. A consultation with Dr Kellyn Shiau in Singapore will help you determine the cause, and she will be able to provide medical advice on your eligibility for jaw reduction treatment in Singapore.

What is Jaw Reduction Treatment in Singapore?

If you want to achieve a more youthful appearance or the classic V-shape look, one of the most effective non-invasive procedures is jaw reduction. At Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic, we specialise in jaw slimming and other face contouring procedures that can help you to reinvigorate your appearance and get the look you are searching for.

Jaw Slimming Injections is especially effective for anyone who feels their jawline is too square or too very prominent and would prefer a more contoured and refined V-shaped face. One of the key strategies to this is masseter muscle reduction (the muscles in the jaw area that help us to bite and chew), as overly large muscles in this area region can lead to a bulky-looking face or an extremely prominent jaw.

Jaw contouring is a minimally invasive, usually painless procedure that needs little to no downtime afterwards. Because of this, you can achieve your ideal appearance without adjusting your lifestyle or taking any time off.

What Causes a Square or Box Jaw?

In addition to the over-development of masseter muscles and the underlying bone structure, several other factors may influence the formation of a square or box jaw. Genetics and ethnicity may play a role in the formation of this type of jaw, which is most often the case with Asians. Additionally, some lifestyle factors (e.g., excessive chewing or teeth grinding) can contribute to this jaw appearance.

Jawline reduction can address these issues and create a better-proportioned chin and jaw, slimming your face and producing a more sculpted and refined appearance.

What Features Help to Create a V-Shaped Face?

V-shaped face is usually referred to as an oval-shaped face that is slim and narrows down to a clearly defined jawline and chin.  Due to the combination of these features, the face appears thinner and smaller, creating a healthier, more youthful look that is highly desirable among women of all ages.

Our Jaw slimming treatment can help create a V-shaped face by shaping the jawline to appear less bulky and more sculpted.

How Does Jaw Reduction Work?

Jaw Injection Slimming effectively relaxes and reduces the muscle’s size, enhancing its smoothness and softness and giving it a more clearly contoured and desirable shape. Masseter reduction treatment also helps to reduce the facial angle and ensures that the jawline and chin are better-proportioned.

How is Jaw Reduction Performed in Singapore?

If you are considering jaw reduction in Singapore, consult Dr Kellyn Shiau and our team of experts at Lux Medical Aesthetic Clinic to gain more insight into this procedure. You will also be provided access to other treatment procedures such as acne scar treatment, facelifts, body contouring and so much more!

We provide a range of masseter reduction and face contouring procedures designed to help you achieve a more youthful appearance and a vibrant V-shaped face.

Jaw reduction treatment in Singapore is a non-invasive procedure that involves a series of small injections in the area being treated (usually between one to three) using very small needles. A numbing cream may be applied to help minimise discomfort during the procedure.

The entire process is quick and easy, so much so that it can be performed during a lunch break, and virtually no downtime is required afterwards. Any slightly visible needle marks that may remain after a treatment session are of no cause for concern and usually subsides within a few hours.

It takes around three to five days for muscles to relax and approximately four to six weeks to slim down nicely. Masseter reduction can also be undertaken in conjunction with other facial contouring procedures in order to achieve a complete face-slimming effect.

How Many Units of Do I Need for Jaw Reduction?

The total cost of jaw reduction treatment typically depends on how extensive the treatment is and how frequently sessions are done. The approach may vary based on individual assessment.

How Long Does It Take for Jaw Slimming Injection to Work?

Typically, a few weeks is sufficient to get noticeable results.

How Soon Can I See Results After Injecting My Jaw/Masseter Muscle?

While the ultimate outcome of masseter reduction before and after will be a change to your appearance, this is unlikely to be very apparent immediately. While in some cases, you may notice some differences more quickly, the full impact usually takes around three to four weeks to become apparent.

How Long Can Jaw Slimming Last and How Often Should I Come in for a Jaw Reduction?

After treatment, the targeted muscles may begin to relax within three to five days, with visible effects typically appearing around four to six weeks later. These effects can last for several months but may vary depending on the individual.

Some individuals may choose to undergo additional sessions every few months to maintain the effect, based on clinical assessment. Over time, the amount of product used during each session may reduce.

NOTE: Depending on the patient, those who tend to clench their teeth more, grind their teeth or generally prefer diets that require more chewing may find that their muscles may grow back faster in comparison to others

FAQ

Are Jaw Slimming Injections Safe?

Jawline slimming treatments have been used in various medical and aesthetic settings for many years. When administered by a trained professional in a licensed facility, the procedure is generally well tolerated. Possible side effects such as redness or swelling may occur but usually subside within a few days, depending on the individual.

Will Jawline Reduction Treatment Cause Skin Sagging?

Jawline Slimming Injection is designed to slim the face and add more definition to the jaw and chin area, but it does not lead to the skin in these areas sagging or drooping.

Will I Have Problems Chewing My Food After Jaw Slimming Injections?

Although it is relatively rare, some people may find it slightly uncomfortable or tiring to chew food immediately after having masseter reduction. However, the feeling is short-lived and, in most cases, passes within a few days.

Is Jaw Slimming Injection a Safe Treatment?

Jaw Slimming Injections has been shown to be a completely safe treatment for jaw slimming and achieving a V-shaped face. It is a minimally invasive procedure that is largely painless and has no serious side effects. Any swelling or redness that results is minor and temporary.

Is Jaw Slimming Injection Permanent?

Jaw contouring is not a permanent procedure. In most cases, the effects of the treatment will last for around six months (although this can vary from person to person). After this time, if you want to retain the full effect of your jaw reduction, additional treatments will be required. Although the results will not at any stage become permanent, the effect of each subsequent treatment may last longer than the previous one. Some may even last up to 12 months over time.

Is There Any Downtime Required After Jaw Reduction Injections?

There is almost no downtime required after masseter muscle reduction. The injections are small and carried out with very fine needles, so the injection points disappear almost immediately.

Many people choose to have injections for jawline slimming during their lunch break and are then able to return straight to work the same day with no difficulty or discomfort.

Will My Smile Be Affected by Jaw Slimming?

The results of masseter jaw reduction looks completely natural. The overall effect is achieved gradually, so there is no sudden or dramatic alteration to the shape of your face. The effects are subtle and do not impact your smile or other facial reactions.

Will My Face Look Frozen After Jaw Slimming Injection Treatment?

Some people fear that jaw reduction side effects lead to a frozen or plastic-looking face, but this is not the case. The effects take place gradually over three to four weeks, and as your new look emerges over time it will appear quite entirely natural. Your facial muscles will continue to work normally, and you will retain full mobility, so your expressions will not be hampered or look frozen in any way.

Why Haven’t I Got Any Results After Jaw Slimming Injection and Why Does My Jaw Still Look Broad and Square?

Not everybody’s facial physiognomy is suitable for jaw contouring. For instance, the treatment does not change the bone profile of the jaw, and therefore, if this is the reason you have a square or box jaw, jaw reduction will have little or no effect.

At your initial consultation with Dr Kellyn Shiau, it is important to have a clear idea about your goal and the look you are trying to achieve. It can then be determined prior to any treatment if jaw reduction is right for you, or whether surgical procedures may be required.
