Botox for a Square Jaw in Korea: Your Comprehensive Guide

A wide or square jawline, often caused by overdeveloped masseter muscles, is a common concern. In Korea, Botox injections for jaw reduction are a highly sought-after, non-surgical solution to achieve a slimmer, more "V-shaped" facial contour. This popular procedure offers a refined appearance with minimal downtime.


What Causes a Square Jaw?

A prominent jawline is often due to hypertrophic masseter muscles, the chewing muscles located on the sides of the face. This can be caused by genetics, habitual teeth grinding (bruxism), or simply a strong chewing habit. Botox works by targeting and relaxing these muscles, leading to their gradual reduction in size.


Popular Jawline Contouring Treatments in Korea

  • Botox for Masseter Muscles: This common treatment involves injecting botulinum toxin directly into the masseter muscles. This temporarily weakens the muscles, causing them to shrink and resulting in a slimmer lower face.
  • Combination with Other Procedures: For a more dramatic V-line, clinics often combine Botox with chin filler or other lifting procedures like HIFU.


Why Choose Korea for Jawline Botox?

Expert Practitioners

Advanced Techniques

Clinics often use genuine products and may offer custom V-line packages.

Competitive Pricing

The cost of jaw reduction Botox in Korea is often significantly lower than in many Western countries.


Typical Cost of Jawline Botox in Korea

  • Masseter Botox (50 units): ₩30,000–₩250,000 per session, depending on the brand and clinic.
  • V-Line Packages: Prices vary widely based on the combination of treatments.


Treatment Process Overview

  1. Consultation: A dermatologist assesses your jaw muscles and discusses your goals.
  2. Procedure: Botox is injected into the masseter muscles, typically lasting 10-15 minutes.
  3. Results & Maintenance: Effects are visible in a few weeks, with full results in 1-2 months. Results last 4-6 months, and repeat sessions are recommended.


Aftercare Tips

  • Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.
  • Refrain from strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot baths for about a week.
  • Avoid chewing very hard or tough foods, as this can stimulate the masseter muscles and shorten the duration of the effect.


Multilingual Clinics

Many Korean clinics offer English, Chinese, and Japanese-speaking staff to provide seamless communication and comfort for international patients.
