The approach involves evaluating the masseter and surrounding jaw function, while also considering whether muscle prominence is contributing to lower-face width or imbalance.

People may seek assessment for persistent clenching, grinding, jaw tightness, enlarged jaw muscles or a desire to soften the appearance of the lower face.

Patients with relevant muscular symptoms or concerns about lower-face shape may be suitable following a clinical review.

Some neurological or muscular disorders, pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infection, allergies and other medical factors may make the treatment inappropriate.

The clinician reviews the pattern and severity of symptoms, examines jaw function and facial anatomy, and discusses the expected timeline, limitations, risks and aftercare.

Possible effects can include local discomfort, bruising, temporary changes in chewing strength or muscle function, and unevenness. Individual risks are discussed before treatment.

Other facial or skin treatments may be planned alongside it, provided the overall approach remains safe and clinically justified.
