A square-shaped face is medically known as masseteric muscle hypertrophy, a condition characterized by a bilateral enlargement of the muscle in the lower jawbone that creates a square-shaped face. In general, Asians are born with relatively wider square-shaped lower face than Caucasians. However, a slimmer face is usually more suitable to enhance delicate Asian features.

Dysport Cosmetic is a non-surgical procedure for those who desire a slimmer lower face without resorting to invasive surgical procedures. A small amount of Dysport Cosmetic is injected into the face using a very fine needle, to relax the masetter muscle. The masetter muscle bulk will reduce within 2 to 4 weeks, with maximum effects observed 3 months after the procedure. For a long lasting result, an additional (booster) shot may be required after the third month.

The end result... a slimmer, oval facial contour.

The effect of facial recontouring using Dysport Cosmetic usually last 12-18 months, depending on the muscle size, habitual clenching and grinding of the jaws during sleep (bruxism) and excessive chewing of particular food, such as dried squid and gum.
