The Art of Facial Slimming Without Surgery

As the expression goes, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. At MunkMD Dermatology clinic, we recognize that beauty lies not only in the beholder, but in the mind and heart of the beheld. If you have found yourself struggling with your natural beauty, wishing your face had a slimmer, more sculpted appearance, we’ve got you covered. Many of the non-surgical treatments we do here at MunkMD Dermatology clinic contribute to a slimming effect to the face, usually to address low or weak cheekbones, weight held in the face, sudden weight gain, or jaw clenching and grinding.

Here are our insights into the art of non-surgical facial slimming:

Masseter Muscle Injections

By injecting neuromodulators into the masseter muscles (the muscles that connect the jawbone with the cheekbones), we can release the tension in the muscles, which in turn reduces the wideness of the jaw. These muscles are responsible for chewing and grinding, and can either be wide naturally or become that way if a patient has a tendency to clench their jaw. This treatment takes about two weeks for full effects to appear, and lasts approximately four to six months.

Please note that it’s always important to go to an experienced injector with knowledge of the anatomical structures of the face.
