What is Masseter Botox?

Masseter botox is a botulinum toxin injection applied to the jaw muscles (masseter muscle). Dr. Murat Toktamışoğlu successfully performs this procedure for both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes with over 30 years of experience.

Effects of Masseter Botox

  • Face slimming: Transition from square face to V-line face

  • Jaw pain: TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain relief
  • Headaches: Reduces muscle tension-related headaches

Who is it Suitable For?

  • Night teeth grinders (bruxism)
  • Those with jaw muscle hypertrophy
  • Those wanting V-line face shape
  • Those suffering from TMJ pain
