Masseter Treatment in Newcastle

The masseter is one of the strongest muscles in the body — and when it's overactive, it can cause jaw tension, clenching, facial tightness and a wide, square lower face.

About This Treatment

Masseter treatment uses wrinkle relaxing injections to gradually reduce this overactivity in suitable patients. Depending on your concern, the benefit may be functional (less tension and clenching), aesthetic (a softer lower-face contour), or both.

At Dr Matla Aesthetics in Newcastle, jawline shape, bite strength, symptoms and medical history are assessed first. You'll be advised about the treatment timeline, expected changes, effects on chewing strength and whether dental input is also needed.

Common Questions

Patients often ask…

Patients who feel their lower face looks wide, square, or bulky due to strong masseter muscles may be suitable for masseter treatment. In suitable patients, wrinkle relaxing treatment can relax the masseter muscle gradually, which may create a softer lower-face contour over time.

At Dr Matla Aesthetics Clinic in Newcastle, the jawline, bite strength, facial proportions, and medical history are assessed before treatment — not every wide jaw is caused by muscle activity. Bone structure, facial fat, and skin laxity may also influence lower-face shape. The goal is natural contour refinement, not an over-slimmed or hollow appearance.

  • May soften square jaw appearance
  • Targets strong masseter muscles
  • Gradual natural-looking result
  • Requires careful suitability assessment

Every patient should be assessed during consultation for suitability, expected outcome, possible side effects, aftercare, and realistic treatment planning. Results vary between patients.
