Overview

A softer jaw, fewer headaches

An overworked masseter muscle squares the jaw and causes clenching. Relaxing it slims the lower face and often eases tension headaches.

Before

Avoid alcohol, fish oil and ibuprofen for 24 hours to limit bruising.

Numbing cream first, then a few precise injections. Most people return to work.
