What is masseter contouring?
The masseter is a strong muscle located along each side of the jaw.
Its size and activity vary considerably from person to person and can influence the overall appearance of the lower face.
Masseter contouring is a medical aesthetic treatment designed to gradually reduce the prominence of the muscle in appropriate candidates.
Because every face is different, treatment is personalized to your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
personalized facial contouring
Our approach begins with understanding your existing facial structure.
During your consultation, your clinician will evaluate:
• Lower-face anatomy
• Masseter muscle activity
• Facial proportions
• Facial symmetry
• Previous aesthetic treatments
• Your individual aesthetic goals
Your clinician will then discuss whether masseter treatment or another facial contouring option may be appropriate.

subtle, natural looking facial contouring
Our philosophy is simple.
Facial aesthetics should complement your natural features.
Masseter treatment does not change the underlying bone structure of the face. Instead, changes in muscle prominence may gradually influence lower-face contour.
Individual treatment response varies.
Is facial contouring right for you?
Every patient’s facial anatomy is different.
The best way to determine whether masseter contouring may be appropriate is through a personalized consultation.
Your clinician can evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals and explain available treatment options.
