Enlarged masseter muscles are often caused by teeth grinding, hard chewing, or unconsciously clenching the jaw. In some cases, large jaw muscles are just part of the person's normal anatomy, but habitual overuse can cause the masseters to become even more prominent.

We take a full medical history and assessment by palpating the muscle bulk to determine whether this treatment is the suitable option for you.
