Facial contouring injection in Gangnam, Seoul
A slimmer, more defined lower face without surgery — combining jaw Botox for a strong masseter with fat-dissolving injections for soft fullness along the cheeks and jawline.
What is a facial contouring injection?
A facial contouring injection slims and defines the face without surgery. Fat-dissolving injections break down small pockets of fat in the cheeks, jowls or under the chin, while jaw Botox relaxes an enlarged masseter muscle. Together they create a narrower, more V-shaped lower face over several weeks. The right mix depends on whether fullness comes from fat, muscle or both.
At MIN Clinic the doctor palpates the jaw and assesses fat distribution before injecting. Bone-related width cannot be changed by injections, and we will say so if that is the main cause.

Facial contouring injection questions we hear most
Can’t find your answer? Message our English-speaking team on WhatsApp.
How long does it take to see results?
Jaw Botox shows slimming over 2–6 weeks. Fat-dissolving results build over several weeks, and most people need 2–4 sessions.
Are fat-dissolving results permanent?
Fat cells that are destroyed do not come back, but remaining fat can grow with weight gain. Jaw Botox needs repeating about every 4–6 months.
Is there swelling?
Fat-dissolving injections cause swelling and tenderness for a few days. Botox alone usually causes no visible swelling.
Can injections fix a wide jaw bone?
No. Injections only treat muscle and fat. If width comes from bone, the doctor will discuss realistic options.
Where can I learn more?
