Quiet injectables room at Umi Clinic in Myeongdong — **One visit** Face looks slimmer over 1–2 months

Quick answer

What is facial slimming Botox?

Facial slimming Botox uses small doses of botulinum toxin to relax muscles that add width to the lower face — mainly the masseters at the jaw angle. As these muscles reduce in bulk, the face takes on a slimmer, more oval or V-line shape.

It is one of the most requested treatments in Seoul and works best when width comes from muscle. Where fullness is fat or loose skin, the doctor may suggest pairing it with double chin injections or a lifting device.

FAQ

Facial Slimming Botox questions

Is facial slimming Botox the same as jaw Botox?

They overlap. Jaw (masseter) Botox is the core of most slimming plans, but facial slimming may also consider the chin, the parotid area or combining with fat reduction for an overall result.

Will my face look hollow?

When dosed sensibly, no. The doctor adjusts units to avoid over-thinning, especially if your cheeks are already slim.

How soon can I see a difference?

Most people notice change from about 4 weeks, with the full effect around 8 weeks.

Can I combine it with HIFU or fillers?

Yes. Lifting devices and chin filler are common partners to create a balanced V-line.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
