Masseter Bonta: A Non-Surgical Way to Define Your Jawline
Masseter Bonta is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment used to slim the jawline, relieve teeth grinding (bruxism) and refine the facial contours. Preferred today for both aesthetic and functional reasons, it reduces the overactivity of the masseter muscle, slimming the jaw and helping the face take on a more oval shape.
What Is the Masseter Muscle and Why Does It Enlarge?
The masseter is a strong muscle located at the side of the jawbone that controls chewing. In some people, overuse and thickening of this muscle can make the facial contours look square or angular. The main reasons include:
When the masseter becomes prominent, the face widens and takes on a square appearance. Masseter Bonta is an effective option that reduces the overactivity of this muscle, giving the jawline a slimmer and more refined look.
- Teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism): Unconsciously clenching the teeth due to stress and anxiety causes the masseter muscle to thicken over time.
- Genetic factors: Some people naturally have a more prominent masseter muscle.
- Chewing habits: Regularly eating hard foods or chewing gum can lead to enlargement of the masseter muscle.
What Is Masseter Bonta?
Masseter Bonta is a treatment that reduces the activity of the masseter muscle through injections. By temporarily limiting nerve transmission, it allows the muscle to relax and gradually reduce in size. As a result, the face looks slimmer and takes on a more oval appearance.
When Is Masseter Bonta Used?
Masseter Bonta may be planned for both aesthetic and health-related concerns:
✔ Face slimming: Makes the jawline slimmer and more refined.
✔ Bruxism support: Helps reduce teeth grinding and clenching.
✔ Easing jaw and headache discomfort: Relieves jaw pain caused by excessive contraction of the masseter muscle.
✔ Balancing asymmetric contours: Helps even out irregularities along the jawline.
How Is Masseter Bonta Applied?
Masseter Bonta is a minimally invasive procedure and is completed in approximately 5-10 minutes.
🔹 Consultation and assessment: Your facial structure and the size of the masseter muscle are evaluated beforehand.
🔹 Bonta injection: The product is injected into the masseter muscle using fine needles.
🔹 Aftercare: You can return to daily life immediately after the procedure.
Is the procedure painful?
Masseter Bonta is generally a comfortable procedure. For those with higher sensitivity, a topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand.
When Are the Results of Masseter Bonta Visible?
💉 First effects: The strength of the muscle begins to decrease 3-7 days after the procedure.
📅 Full effect: A visible slimming of the facial contours is observed within 3-4 weeks.
