What are the advantages of this treatment?
The main advantage of non-surgical masseter reduction over surgical masseter reduction is that it is less invasive. Non-surgical masseter reduction involves the use of injectable botulinum toxin, which temporarily paralyzes the muscle, resulting in a reduction of its size over time. This procedure does not require incisions or anesthesia, and recovery time is minimal.
On the other hand, surgical masseter reduction involves the removal of a portion of the muscle tissue and may require general anesthesia. This procedure has a longer recovery time, and there may be some scarring, swelling and bruising.
Another advantage of non-surgical masseter reduction is that it is considered a less risky procedure than surgical masseter reduction.
