Masseter Botox & Lower-Face Contouring Field Guide

You mastered facial Botox. Then a client asked for a slimmer jaw - and the masseter changed all the rules.

Higher doses. Deeper muscle. A single misplaced unit that can cause bulging, asymmetry, or a changed smile. Most guides bury the masseter in a single vague paragraph and move on - leaving you guessing on dose, depth, and points when a client is in the chair.

This field guide is built for exactly that procedure. Keep it on your tray, not your shelf.

Inside you'll find:

• Masseter dose maps by gender and muscle strength - points, units and depth
• Step-by-step jaw-slimming and lower-face contouring protocols
• Separate protocols for cosmetic slimming vs. TMJ and teeth grinding
• Risorius safety zones to protect the smile
• Fixes for paradoxical bulging and asymmetry
• Consultation scripts and realistic 2-to-6 week expectation timelines

Written in plain language for injectors - no jargon, no contradictions, no guessing.

Contour the lower face with confidence, from the very first case.
