Get a More Defined Jawline with Non-Surgical Face Slimming
Many people are self-conscious about their jawlines. A wide jawline can create the appearance of a square face shape, while many desire a heart- or “V”-shaped face. While jaw reduction surgery is available to address this concern, our non-surgical face slimming in Melbourne is an effective, non-invasive and less expensive option for patients who want to avoid an invasive surgical procedure.
What is Facial Slimming?
Facial slimming treatments create a “softer” angle and a more contoured appearance to the face. The appearance of a bulky, square jaw can be caused by well-developed masseter muscles, which may have been built up due to excessive teeth grinding. In a facial slimming treatment, a more defined jawline is achieved by weakening these muscles with muscle relaxants, significantly reducing their volume and narrowing the lower face.
How Does Facial Slimming Work?
Anti-wrinkle products are muscle relaxants. When applied to the jaw, the substance blocks nerve impulses to the masseter muscle. This results in a controlled weakening and relaxation of the jaw muscles, subtly softening the jawline and reducing muscle contraction.
Face slimming Melbourne: Our treatments offer a non-invasive solution for jawline slimming and facial contouring.
Benefits of Facial Slimming Treatments
Facial slimming treatments offer several benefits:
- Jawline contouring
- Reduces bruxism
- Non-surgical
- Fast and effective procedure
- Long-lasting results
Facial slimming treatments should only be carried out by a qualified plastic surgeon, cosmetic doctor, or cosmetic nurse. These treatments are effective for treating facial slimming and achieving a slimmer facial appearance.
Am I a Good Candidate for Facial Slimming?
Good candidates for jawline slimming treatment are typically individuals who are bothered by the appearance of a square or broad jawline and wish to achieve a more contoured and slim-looking face. This procedure can be particularly helpful for those who have enlarged masseter muscles due to bruxism or teeth grinding.
If you’re interested in jawline slimming or suffer from bruxism, we recommend scheduling a consultation with us so that we can evaluate your concerns and discuss the benefits to determine if this treatment is the right option for you.
How is Facial Slimming Carried Out at EST Clinic?
Consultation
At your initial consultation, a Specialist Plastic Surgeon or an experienced Cosmetic Nurse will assess your facial features and spend time understanding your concerns. They will answer any questions and discuss any concerns you may have to ensure you have all the information you need before proceeding with any treatments.
Procedure
The face slimming treatment is quick and considered to be relatively comfortable. The visit will last less than an hour, there is no downtime required and patients can return home or to work immediately after the procedure.
Most patients report very little discomfort; however, ice (and on rare occasions numbing cream) can be used to minimise discomfort if necessary. Anti-wrinkle product is administered via a thin needle directly into the lower jaw. The product is measured in units and the volume of units required depends on the size of your masseter muscles.
Results and Recovery
It is common to experience minor side effects such as swelling, redness and slight bruising immediately following the treatment; however, these usually disappear within a few days. It is recommended that you avoid touching your lower face for at least 12 hours after receiving the treatment.
Serious risks or complications caused by the procedure, such as infection, numbness and drooping, are extremely uncommon. You will begin to notice a change after a few days and the full jawline slimming effect will be noticeable within 10 days. Other facial muscles will continue to function as normal and your facial expressions will not be affected by the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any more questions about face slimming in Melbourne, please don’t hesitate to contact us. In the meantime, you can find our FAQs below that may provide the additional information you’re looking for.
What Results Can I Expect from Jaw Slimming Treatment?
Facial slimming can commonly treat a square-shaped, wide, or “heavy” jaw and reduce bruxism (teeth grinding). It can result in the appearance of weight loss as the cheeks will appear slimmer. The results of this treatment will be subtle yet noticeable and it is important to be realistic about what to expect.
How Long Do the Results of a Jawline Contouring Procedure Last?
The duration of the results can vary depending on several factors, including the type of substance used, the individual’s metabolism and their lifestyle habits. Typically, the results of the procedure can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months, with some individuals experiencing longer-lasting results.
Does Facial Slimming Work?
Yes, facial slimming can be an effective procedure for individuals who wish to achieve a more defined and contoured jawline by reducing the size of the masseter muscles through the use of cosmetic procedures.
Does Face Slimming Hurt?
The procedure typically involves minimal pain and discomfort and most individuals experience little to no pain during or after the procedure. However, some may experience mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness at the treatment area, which can be managed with ice and over-the-counter pain medication if necessary.
Can Chewing Gum Help the Jawline Slim?
Chewing gum can potentially help to exercise and tone the muscles in the jawline, but it is not a guaranteed method for reducing the size of the masseter muscles. Additionally, excessive gum chewing may lead to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and other oral health issues.
Can Masseter Muscle Treatments Make You Look Older?
When performed correctly by experienced cosmetic doctors or nurses, masseter muscle treatments should not make you look older. In fact, the treatments can potentially help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the jawline.
Can Muscle Relaxants Be Used to Treat Facial Slimming?
Yes, muscle relaxants can be used in jawline slimming treatments to achieve facial slimming by reducing the size of the masseter muscles, leading to a slimmer facial appearance. This is particularly effective for individuals with strong bite muscles.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
