Masseter Hypertrophy is a condition characterized by the enlargement of the masseter muscles, the powerful muscles responsible for jaw movement and clenching. This enlargement can lead to a more pronounced jawline, but it can also cause discomfort and tension. The most common treatment for Masseter Hypertrophy is non-surgical Botox Masseter Reduction. While surgical method is Laser-assisted Liposuction Combined with a Masseter Dissection.
Dr Pinky, the best female plastic surgeon in Bangalore will use Botox to treat Masseter hypertrophy effectively. During the Botox procedure, she administers three injections in the masseter area, with a predetermined Botox unit limit. Swelling gradually reduces, and complete results appear within a month, with treatments spaced two months apart. As the masseter reduces in size through cell apoptosis, the results are long-lasting.
The recovery time from masseter hypertrophy treatment will vary depending on the type of treatment you receive. However, for non-surgical treatments like Botox injections, there is typically very little downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
