Jaw slimming uses precisely placed anti-wrinkle injections (botulinum toxin) to relax the masseter muscle — the large, powerful muscle on either side of the jaw responsible for chewing. When this muscle is overactive or enlarged, it can give the face a wide, square appearance. By gently reducing its activity, the muscle gradually shrinks over 4–6 weeks, sculpting a slimmer and more defined jawline.
Beyond aesthetics, masseter injections are a highly effective treatment for bruxism (teeth grinding) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Many patients experience a significant reduction in jaw tension, headaches and the tooth wear associated with chronic grinding — making this one of the few aesthetic treatments that offers both cosmetic and functional benefits.
Dr Raffner carefully assesses your jaw structure and dosage to ensure results look natural and proportionate to your facial features. As a dual-qualified maxillofacial and oral surgeon with specialist expertise in jaw and facial anatomy, he brings a level of anatomical understanding to this treatment that is rare in aesthetic practice.
Jaw slimming in Chichester at Oving Medical Clinic is performed in a single appointment. Results develop gradually over 4–6 weeks and typically last 3–4 months. Many patients find that with regular maintenance, the masseter muscle remains consistently reduced and results last longer over time.
What to Expect
Consultation
Dr Raffner assesses the size and activity of your masseter muscles and discusses your aesthetic goals and any functional symptoms such as grinding or jaw pain.
Treatment (10–15 mins)
The product is injected directly into the masseter muscles on both sides. The procedure is quick and virtually painless — no anaesthetic is needed.
Results
Initial softening begins within 2 weeks. Maximum slimming effect is visible at 4–6 weeks as the muscle gradually reduces in size. Results last 3–4 months.
Who Can Benefit?
Aesthetic Jawline Definition
Patients seeking a slimmer, more oval or heart-shaped facial profile. Particularly popular among those who feel their jaw makes their face look overly wide or masculine.
Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Those who grind their teeth — consciously or during sleep — and suffer from jaw ache, headaches or tooth wear. Masseter injections provide lasting relief.
TMJ Pain & Jaw Tension
Patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction often find that reducing masseter overactivity significantly eases jaw locking, clicking and chronic facial tension.
Facial Balancing
As part of a broader facial aesthetics plan, jaw slimming can harmonise the lower face and improve balance between the upper and lower thirds of the face.
